From Design to Reality Since 1987


Northern Metal Fab has spent over three decades meeting the needs and challenges of its customers, as the foremost manufacturer of sheet metal, heavy plate steel, stainless steel, aluminum parts, weldments and assemblies in domestic and international markets.

The legacy began in 1987, when Mark Lightfoot started Northern Metal Fab in his garage. Steady growth ensued, and as a testament to Mark’s drive and pursuit to innovation, Northern Metal Fab came to be known as a leader in custom metal fabrication. Mark shaped the company by holding himself and his employees to high standards, all the while showing them steadfast commitment and abundant generosity. 

Today, employees of Northern Metal Fab pledge to honor the company’s founder by emulating Mark’s same passion for innovation, growth and commitment to carrying out the legacy of our roots.
