Phoenix Metal Fabricating, Inc., a privately held company, was incorporated in 1983 in New York State as a metal stamping company servicing the automotive and heavy duty trucking industries. The primary product line was parts for vehicle lighting systems. With the acquisition of some basic equipment shortly thereafter metal fabricating was added as another capability. Following this, Phoenix became one of the first companies to incorporate powder coating as its primary finishing capability. Phoenix continued to augment sales by growing both in metal stampings and metal fabricating. We are a custom job shop fabricator with a diverse customer base. 1994 Phoenix achieved ISO9001 status, being one for the first metal fabricating companies to achieve this designation. In 2003 Phoenix was recognized for its safety initiatives by becoming a SHARP (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) company, certified by NYSOSHA. Current management has been in place since 1987, assuring that our mission of “helping our customers, employees, and community prosper” is fulfilled.
Phoenix Metal has 3 facilities in Jamestown, NY. Phoenix has easy access to valued subcontractors for plating, e-coating, machining, large size powder coating, heat treating, and other processes not performed in house. Recent major equipment acquisitions include a Mitsubishi 4500W laser cutting machine, a new powder coat pretreat wash system, and a dry off/cure oven combination.
