Precision Metal Manufacturing

About Precision Metal Manufacturing

Precision Metal Manufacturing operates from Mesa, Arizona, where it began in 2007 as a small custom fabrication shop founded by Sean Derivan. The company relocated to a larger facility in 2014 and moved again in 2024 to accommodate growth. Derivan, who has over 30 years of metal fabrication experience, stepped back from daily operations in 2023 and now serves in a consultancy role; the business is currently led by owner and general manager Michael Stimens. The shop specializes in short-run production of steel, stainless steel, and aluminum parts, handling quantities from one to 1,000 pieces. Its process flow starts with 3D design and prototyping in SOLIDWORKS, followed by cutting on an AKS Cutting Systems 6'x24' Hypertherm XPR plasma table and bending on an Accurpress 10-foot, 120-ton, 5-axis press brake. Final manufacturing includes hand assembly and finishing by skilled craftsmen. Precision Metal Manufacturing serves a wide variety of industries; one long‑standing customer is Turtleback Trailers, a trailer manufacturer that has relied on the shop since 2007 for American‑made parts and design guidance. The company emphasizes its reputation for outstanding customer service and precise quality, attributing its competitive edge to continued investment in state‑of‑the‑art CNC machinery and software that allows it to punch above its weight for a shop of its size.
