Turnkey Fabrication Services

Single-Source Custom Metal Fabrication, Assembly, and Finishing in Iowa

A fourth-generation, family-owned contract manufacturer. Since 1913.

At Red Oak Fabrication, we deliver complete turnkey manufacturing across the greater Midwest. We remove the hassle of many separate suppliers by keeping every operation under one roof with our integrated metal fabrication operation — fiber and tube laser cutting, CNC bending, AWS certified welding, and powder coating that complies with AAMA 2603, 2604, and 2605 specifications, alongside mechanical assembly capabilities and our own private delivery fleet.

Our production spans high-volume components for refuse equipment and utility trailers through to precision sub-assemblies engineered for demanding car wash and energy systems — serving mid-size OEMs that would rather have one accountable source than five.
