Custom Metal Fabrication & Precision Manufacturing Services
Founded in 1985 by James Troupe, a licensed professional engineer with a background at Bosch and Wurlitzer, our company has spent nearly four decades delivering precision manufacturing solutions to industries including telecommunications, transportation, and semiconductors. Headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, we specialize in custom metal fabrication, design engineering, and advanced manufacturing processes such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting, and precision welding. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores our commitment to quality control through documented processes, trained personnel, and rigorous testing protocols. We integrate mechanical design expertise with production capabilities to transform concepts into finished products, offering services from prototype development to mass production. Our team includes licensed engineers certified in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee, supported by skilled technicians proficient in CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and surface finishing techniques.

We maintain state-of-the-art equipment including Trumpf TruLaser systems and Flow Mach 200 waterjets to ensure dimensional accuracy and material efficiency. Our vertically integrated operations encompass 3D CAD modeling, tolerance analysis, FEA testing, and value-engineered production planning to minimize iterations. We provide full-service manufacturing from initial design consultations through final assembly and delivery, with customizable packaging and logistics solutions. Our daughters continue James Troupe's legacy of industrial excellence, maintaining a customer-centric approach that prioritizes responsive communication and adherence to project timelines.

Services
Design Engineering
Our licensed engineers provide 3D CAD modeling, tolerance studies, and FEA analysis to optimize product designs for manufacturability. We integrate design with production capabilities to minimize iterations and reduce costs. Our team supports projects from concept development through prototype testing and production implementation.
Laser Cutting
Using Trumpf TruLaser 2030 systems, we cut metals up to several inches thick with high accuracy. Our fiber laser technology produces smooth edges while minimizing material waste through advanced nesting software. This non-contact process ensures consistent quality for complex geometries and tight tolerances.
Waterjet Cutting
Our Flow Mach 200 waterjet system cuts materials up to 10 inches thick without heat distortion. This cold-cutting process handles metals, composites, and fragile materials with 5-axis precision. The system's large work envelope accommodates oversized parts while maintaining tight tolerances for complex profiles.
Fabrication
We offer complete fabrication solutions including turret punching, brake press forming, and precision welding. Our processes handle small-batch prototyping through high-volume production. Skilled technicians perform MIG/TIG welding, hardware insertion, and surface treatments to meet exact specifications.
Powdercoating
Our powdercoating process applies durable, corrosion-resistant finishes in various colors. We handle parts up to 7'x7'x18' with consistent coverage and enhanced wear resistance. This eco-friendly finishing method provides superior adhesion compared to conventional painting techniques.
