Request Information
Since 1976, Estes Design and Manufacturing has been providing fabrication expertise through state of the art technology with their sheet metal fabrication services. Estes' sheet metal processing services help diverse industries design and build quality products.

They provide unparalleled know-how for forming complex configurations, working with aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel materials. Their processes are capable of maintaining tight tolerances of ±0.005" for punched or laser cut materials, ±0.010" cut feature to feature, ±0.015" feature to formed edge, and ±0.030" form edge to form edge for formed parts. The company is able to fabricate parts requiring multiple holes, patterns, and bends, offering increasingly competitive costs as part complexity intensifies. A variety of automated processes, from panel bending to laser welding, can be applied to materials in sheet, tubes, or bar form of thicknesses up to 0.500" Steel, 0.375" Stainless Steel, and 0.25" Aluminum. Capable of processing materials up to 120" long x 60" wide, Estes' products include panels, enclosures, weldments, and complete assemblies, with regular 4-week lead times. The company provides low and high production volumes, operating under certified ISO 9001:2015 and following FDA regulations to maintain world-class quality.
