Why assemblies
One PO. One vendor. A finished product.
Sheet metal fabrication with assembly means your part never sits in a shipping dock between vendors. Blanks come off our lasers, get formed on our press brakes, machined, welded, and built into custom metal assemblies — one team accountable for the finished product.
Every step of our metal assembly services runs under the same ISO 9001:2015 quality system, whose registered scope includes metal forming and assembly — the same system trusted for military, aerospace, medical, and oil & gas work.

Common questions
Metal assembly services FAQs
Do you deliver complete assemblies or just parts?
Complete assemblies. Our metal assembly services cover cutting, forming, machining, welding, hardware, finishing, and final assembly under one roof and one purchase order — what ships is a finished product built to your documentation, not a pile of components.
Which metal assembly services are done in-house?
Laser cutting, forming, CNC machining, welding, PEM hardware setting, and final assembly are in-house. Painting, plating, and anodizing run through our vetted partner network — managed by AST on the same PO, so you still deal with one vendor.
Can you install PEM fasteners and hardware?
Yes — self-clinching PEM fasteners, standoffs, and inserts are set in-house before assembly, so hardware arrives installed and torqued to spec.
What materials can you fabricate and assemble?
Aluminum, steel (HRS/CRS), stainless steel, copper, brass, and Corten — custom metal assemblies in most types and thicknesses, backed by an ISO 9001:2015 quality system whose registered scope includes metal forming and assembly.
Do you deliver assembled product?
Yes — throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, plus Waco, Austin, Mineral Wells, and Houston, packaged to your specification. Mention delivery on your quote request and we will price it into the job.
