Founded in 1953 as the Eagle Manufacturing Company, we began primarily as a welding shop. Equipment at that time consisted of a drill press, lathe and welding machine, and soon with the growth of the electronics industry, grew to include precision sheet metal fabrications with a specialization in aluminum fabrication and welding. This soon became the core of our business.

Anticipating our customers' future requirements, Eagle Metalcraft expanded to include professional in-house painting, finishing and powder coating. Over the years, we've added state-of-the-art capital equipment to improve quality and productivity. Laser Cutting, CNC Machining and Turning centers provide customers "one-stop shopping", and job-shop specific software enable better control and analysis of job costs and flow through.

With a focus on "old world craftsmanship," Eagle Metalcraft has earned a reputation as a Premiere Sheet Metal Fabricator, CNC Machining and Turning company with unequaled quality and delivery.
