Who We Are

Lipkvich Fabrication is a full-service fabrication, machining, and heavy equipment repair company based in Pittsfield, Maine. Since our earliest days, we’ve committed ourselves to marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern technologies to produce solutions that last. Our work spans from small custom parts to large structural builds, with clients in agriculture, forestry, construction, marine, and industrial sectors.

From our first job to present day, our foundation is built on three guiding principles:

1. Quality in Craftsmanship — We believe detail matters. Every weld, every cut, every machined surface carries our pride.

2. Reliability & Accountability — You can depend on us to meet deadlines, communicate clearly, and stand behind our work.

3. Continuous Improvement — We invest in learning, upgrading tools, and refining processes to stay ahead of industry expectations.

Our Origins & Journey

Lipkvich Fabrication began in 2013, when founder Justin Lipkvich received a request for heavy-duty bucket forks for a local woodcutter. That first job was more than a fabrication task — it was the spark that ignited a broader vision: to deliver quality metal work for customers who demand durability, precision, and integrity.

Over the years, we have grown steadily — expanding our scope, adding equipment, and diversifying our capabilities. From humble beginnings, we’ve evolved into a shop capable of handling complex projects, yet still grounded in the same hands-on values that launched us.

Our Mission & Values

Mission
To deliver high-quality, long-lasting fabrication and repair solutions that exceed expectations — through craftsmanship, teamwork, and accountability.

Core Values

• Integrity – We do what we say. If a job poses a challenge, we face it head-on, not hide from it.

• Excellence – We hold ourselves to rigorous standards; every job is a reflection of our reputation.

• Collaboration – We partner with clients, listening to needs, giving feedback, and iterating solutions.

• Adaptability – Conditions change; designs evolve. We’re ready to pivot and problem-solve.

• Local Roots, Regional Reach – Based in Maine, deploying nationwide — we bring the best of both worlds.

What Makes Us Different

When you work with Lipkvich Fabrication, you’re not dealing with a faceless subcontractor — you’re partnering with a dedicated team that cares. Here are ways we set ourselves apart:

• Full Spectrum Services Under One Roof
  Fabrication, machining, welding repairs, finishing, structural work — we’ve invested in the breadth to reduce outside handoffs and speed up delivery.

• Responsive & Client-Focused
  We maintain open communication. When things change (and they often do in fabrication or repair), you’ll know what’s happening.

• Hands-On Leadership
  Justin — and other experienced fabricators — stay involved in projects. That means better oversight, fewer surprises, and more accountability.

• Quality Assurance Built Into Process
  We incorporate inspections, checks, and controls throughout the workflow, not just at the end. That helps catch issues early and keep client satisfaction high.

• Continuous Learning & Upgrades
  We attend trade shows, invest in new tooling, refine welding or machining methods, and stay current with industry best practices.

• Local Presence, Broader Service Zone
  While we’re rooted in Maine, we serve clients across New England and beyond — with the ability to ship parts, work remotely, or dispatch mobile repair teams when needed.

Our Team & Culture

Behind every successful piece is a team committed to excellence. Our technicians, welders, machinists, and support staff are chosen not just for skill but for integrity, work ethic, and pride in the product. We aim to create a working environment where collaboration, respect, and continuous learning are the norm.

We also believe in investing in our team — sending personnel to workshops, certification courses, and fostering a safety-first, problem-solving mindset.

Milestones & Achievements

• Established first customer job (bucket forks) in 2013, which set the tone for our dedication to quality.

• Growth in service offerings: expanding from simple fabrication to full machining, repair, finishing

Our Vision for the Future

We see Lipkvich Fabrication growing in three dimensions:

1. Expanding Capabilities – Adding new processes, materials, and finishing options to better serve emerging client needs.

2. Partnerships & Collaboration – Working more closely with design firms, OEMs, and engineering teams to be part of the early project lifecycle.

3. Sustainability & Efficiency – Optimizing material yield, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and adopting greener practices where feasible.

We aim to be known not just as a strong metal shop, but as a dependable manufacturing partner sought by clients who expect more than just “good enough.”

What Clients Can Expect When Working With Us

• Transparent quoting, clear scope definitions, and open dialogue

• Realistic timelines and proactive updates

• Detailed documentation & quality checks

• Consistent care in packing, shipping, and installation

• A collaborative approach — we don’t just build to spec but listen for opportunities to improve function, manufacturability, cost, or durability

We believe every job is a chance to build trust, earn repeat business, and strengthen our reputation.
