Power Brace Manufacturing

About Power Brace Manufacturing

Power Brace Manufacturing operates from Des Moines, Iowa, where it was founded in 2002. It began as a steel component manufacturer focused on defect-free delivery and continuous improvement. The shop produces steel components through a range of in-house processes: CNC machining (centers up to 55 inches long), fiber laser tube cutting (6-axis, 3,000-watt, up to 6-inch OD, 21-foot length), fiber laser table cutting (4,000-watt, up to 1-inch thick, 5x10 feet), six robotic welding cells (12x3-foot work zones), automated zinc electroplating per ASTM B633 (tanks up to 12x5x17 feet), press brake forming (70- to 250-ton, up to 10-foot wide), HD plasma cutting with beveling up to 45 degrees (1.5-inch thick, 6x26 feet), and kitting/assembly/packaging. The facility is ISO 9001:2015 certified and emphasizes lean manufacturing. Primary industries served include telecommunications, construction, transportation, defense, and agriculture. The company cites work with Verizon, AT&T, and Google, alongside smaller manufacturers, and ships throughout North America from Canada to Mexico. Power Brace traces its differentiation to a "whatever it takes" work ethic, end-to-end solutions from raw material to packaged assembly, and a commitment to on-time, defect-free delivery through continuous improvement.
