§ 02 · The floor

The capability envelope.

We don't publish an inventory. We publish the envelope we quote against. If your part fits inside these numbers, we can build it. If it doesn't, talk to us anyway: the envelope grows every year.

§ 03 · Shop floor

Inside the plant.

Cutting, punching, bending, welding, coating and finishing run side by side, so a part never waits on a truck between processes.

§ 04 · Finish quality

1,000 hours in the salt chamber.

Our pretreatment line conditions every panel through multi stage cleaning and RO and DI purified rinses ahead of powder coating. The result: coated parts that pass 1,000+ hours of neutral salt spray to ISO 9227 / ASTM B117, roughly double a typical imported finish. For outdoor, coastal and edge deployments in the Gulf, that's the difference between a cabinet and a liability.
