Full-service custom fabrication for Mississippi's industrial, commercial, and specialty markets. From a single prototype to production runs — CNC precision, expert welding, and delivery on your schedule.
Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula is the largest private employer in Mississippi and one of the most sophisticated naval shipbuilding facilities in the United States — building destroyers, amphibious assault ships, and Coast Guard cutters. The shipyard's supply chain creates massive demand for certified structural welders, pipe fabricators, and specialty metal fabrication shops that understand ABS and Navy certification requirements.
The Mississippi Chemical Corridor along the Gulf Coast and along the Mississippi River feeds steady industrial fabrication demand for plant maintenance, turnaround support, and equipment repair. The Port of Gulfport handles military and commercial cargo that creates ongoing infrastructure fabrication needs. Baldwin County Alabama's proximity to the Mississippi Gulf Coast — just across the state line — means fast mobilization and Gulf Coast pricing without the markup of larger regional contractors.
Key Mississippi Facilities We Serve: Ingalls Shipbuilding Pascagoula, Port of Gulfport, Mississippi Chemical Corridor, Viking Range Greenwood, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi, Raytheon Technologies.
Mississippi's industrial strength centers on Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula — the largest military shipbuilder in the United States — alongside Chevron's Pascagoula Refinery, Toyota in Blue Springs, Nissan in Canton, and Stennis Space Center. These facilities demand welding contractors with defense-grade certifications.

Simple steel work runs $2.50-$5.00/lb. Complex fabrication hits $5.00-$12.00/lb. Stainless and aluminum are higher. We quote from drawings — send us what you have and we'll price it in 2-3 business days.
Carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316, duplex), aluminum (6061, 5052), AR400/500 plate, copper, brass, and exotic alloys. If it's metal, we can cut it, bend it, and weld it.
We can work from anything — napkin sketches, rough dimensions, photos of existing parts, or full engineering drawings. For complex projects, we can provide shop drawings for approval before fabrication.
No minimum for custom work — we'll build one piece. Shop minimum is $500. For production runs, volume pricing kicks in at 10+ units.
