Custom Fabrication Services: Engineering Excellence at Every Step
At Koch Metal, we understand that custom fabrication is not just about cutting and welding; it is a comprehensive process that begins with a deep understanding of your application, load conditions, and environmental factors. Our design assistance starts with a thorough review of your specifications, followed by value engineering recommendations to reduce costs and improve manufacturability. We use advanced software to simulate the manufacturing process, identifying potential issues before they become expensive rework. Our precision cutting capabilities include fiber laser cutting with a positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm, ensuring clean edges and minimal heat-affected zones. Our welding department is certified for MIG, TIG, and stick welding, and operates under strict procedures that guarantee full penetration and defect-free joints. Forming operations utilize press brakes with up to 1000 tons of capacity, allowing us to bend thick plates and create complex profiles with consistent angles. In addition, we provide a range of finishing options to enhance the longevity and appearance of your products, including powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing, anodizing, and stainless steel passivation. Each finishing process is carefully controlled to meet salt-spray and UV resistance specifications, making our products suitable for harsh outdoor environments. With our complete in-house capabilities, we significantly reduce lead times and eliminate the need for multiple subcontractors, giving you a single point of accountability from start to finish.
Quality Assurance: Trust Built on Certifiable Performance
Quality is not a department at Koch Metal; it is the foundation upon which our entire business is built. We procure raw materials exclusively from mills and suppliers that maintain ISO 9001 certification, and every incoming batch is verified against material test certificates to confirm grade and chemistry. Our inspection team employs a wide range of testing procedures, including ultrasonic thickness measurement, hardness testing, tensile testing, and bend tests, depending on the product and its intended use. For welded assemblies, we perform dye penetrant and radiographic inspections to detect any subsurface defects, and we maintain a comprehensive traceability system that records heat numbers and production dates for every component. Our quality management system is aligned with ISO 9001:2015, and we continuously audit our processes to identify areas for improvement. Moreover, our products comply with major international standards, such as ASTM, EN, and BS, ensuring that they can be used in projects across North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond. We also conduct final inspections just before packing, verifying dimensions, surface finish, and functionality, so that you receive exactly what you ordered — nothing less. This meticulous approach has earned us partnerships with leading contractors and government agencies, and we proudly showcase our certifications in our product data sheets and upon request.
