About METCO Metal Fab
METCO Metal Fab is a Chattanooga, Tennessee sheet metal fabrication company serving OEM manufacturers and industrial equipment builders. The organization supports commercial customers throughout the Southeast USA and nationwide. Since 2019, METCO has provided precision sheet metal fabrication, fiber laser cutting, and CNC forming. In addition, the business is known for welding, machining, finishing, and assembly services it offers from their manufacturing facility in Chattanooga.
Laurence Richardson founded METCO on the belief that a successful manufacturing company should create opportunities for customers, employees, suppliers, and owners. That includes customers, employees, suppliers, and ownership. The company strives to create an environment where all parties can succeed together through mutual respect, accountability, continuous improvement, and long-term relationships. A practical approach to manufacturing has fueled METCO’s growth to manufacturing: deliver quality work, communicate clearly, solve fabrication challenges early, and support customers from prototype development through production manufacturing. Our team collaborates closely with engineers, buyers, and operations professionals to move projects efficiently from design to finished product.
Commitment to Community
METCO believes strong businesses help create strong communities. As a Chattanooga manufacturer, we support the region’s industrial growth and create meaningful opportunities for employees, customers, suppliers, and business partners. We create long-term success by delivering value to everyone involved, and we build relationships that drive sustainable growth for our company and the communities we serve.
Why Customers Choose METCO
Customers choose METCO because our team combines manufacturing expertise with practical problem solving. Our 50,000-square-foot facility supports a wide range of fabrication requirements. As a result, this allows customers to consolidate multiple operations with one manufacturing partner.
Furthermore, our team supports projects from prototype development through production manufacturing. Rather than waiting for problems to appear, we identify manufacturability concerns early. Additionally, we train our employees to communicate openly, and help customers make informed decisions before production begins. That approach reduces risk, improves efficiency, and helps customers maintain schedules.
Over time, METCO has built lasting relationships with OEMs, industrial manufacturers, and equipment builders throughout Chattanooga. In addition, we deliver regularly into North Georgia, Northeast Alabama, and the Southeastern United States. Those relationships continue to grow because we focus on quality work, clear communication, providing dependable delivery, and building on shared success.
Manufacturing Capabilities
METCO brings multiple fabrication processes together under one roof, which helps customers simplify sourcing and keep projects moving efficiently. Our team cuts precision components with fiber laser technology, forms complex parts with CNC press brakes, and builds weldments with MIG and TIG welding. In addition, our machinists, assemblers, and manufacturing professionals support secondary operations that help move projects closer to completion.
Because every project presents different requirements, our team works closely with customers throughout production. Engineers, buyers, and operations professionals often rely on METCO to solve manufacturing challenges and coordinate multiple fabrication processes. Hence the company is known for providing support for both prototype and production requirements. As a result, customers can manage more of their manufacturing needs through a single fabrication partner.
