Indiana Metal Fabrication Companies

About Metal Fabrication in Indiana

Indiana consistently ranks among the top manufacturing states in the nation, and metal fabrication is a cornerstone of that industrial strength. The state produces more steel than any other (primarily in the northwest Indiana mills along Lake Michigan), providing a local supply advantage for fabrication operations throughout the state. The automotive industry is Indiana's largest manufacturing sector, with assembly plants and parts suppliers creating enormous demand for stamped, welded, and machined metal components. Major employers include Subaru, Toyota, Honda, GM, and Stellantis, along with hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers. Indiana's fabrication industry extends well beyond automotive to include heavy equipment manufacturing, RV production (Elkhart is the RV capital of the world), medical device fabrication (Warsaw is the orthopedic device capital), aerospace components, and agricultural equipment. The state's central location, competitive costs, and strong vocational training programs support a robust and growing fabrication sector.
