Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication

(click on thumbnail to enlarge)

Featuring prototypes and contract manufacturing precision sheet metal fabrication services, Tarpenning-LaFollette Company, Inc. is primarily a job shop, working with industries such as architectural, ornamental, government, medical, and agricultural sectors. We specialize in cabinets, enclosures, convection heater enclosures, but accommodate a wide range of sheet metal products, including high-end precision work and POP display fixtures. We work with stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum equally, and also work with bronze and copper, especially in ornamental and architectural work. We feature a gauge range from 26-gauge up to ¼" plate. With a bending capacity of up to 180 tons, we're sure we can handle even the toughest bending jobs, and we proudly offer a 12" shearing capability.

But that's not all: In addition to many other fabrication processes, we also feature metal punching and notching services, CNC laser cutting, and TIG, MIG, and STICK welding abilities. With our 2-axis CNC cutting machines and our CO2 flying optics lasers, Tarpenning-LaFollette features a 2.5KW output and a 5' by 10' bed capacity to accommodate a variety of CNC laser cutting applications. Our metal punching and notching services also serve a range of applications, from lighting fixtures to appliances. Specializing in aluminum and stainless TIG and MIG steel welding, we offer 10 different arc welding processes and we're AWS certified.
