Durable Results – Custom Fabrication Built Just for You

Why Lipkvich Fabrication for Your Metal Fabrication Needs?

At Lipkvich Fabrication, we do more than just cut and weld metal — we bring your ideas to life with precision, strength, and craftsmanship. Based in Pittsfield, Maine, our fabrication division is designed to support clients across industries — whether you need structural assemblies, welded fabrications, custom brackets, or full-scale steel builds. We combine technical know-how, modern equipment, and deep industry experience to deliver durable, reliable results.

When you choose us, you benefit from:

  • One-stop coordination from design through final finish

  • High-quality welds, tight tolerances, and alignment control

  • Ability to work with plate, structural shapes, tubing, and more

  • Capability to handle both small, intricate jobs and large-scale assemblies

  • Responsive communication and adherence to delivery schedules

  • Full quality control and inspection protocols

Our Fabrication Capabilities

We pride ourselves on offering a broad array of fabrication services tailored to meet the needs of modern industrial, agricultural, and custom projects. Below are core areas where we excel:

Cutting & Prep Work

  • Laser, plasma, and flame cutting — precise profiles and shapes from plate, sheet, and structural stock

  • Shearing and sawing — fast, accurate cuts for secondary operations

  • Punching, CNC nesting, and profiling

  • Edge prep and beveling for weld joints

Bending, Forming & Press Brake Work

  • Forming complex bends in plates or sheet material

  • Press brake bending, roll forming, and section bending

  • Jogging, notching, hole patterns, flanges, and hems

Welding & Joining

  • MIG, TIG, stick, flux-core welding

  • Weldments, sub-assemblies, structural frames, trusses

  • Fixturing and jigs to ensure precision alignment

  • Welding in exotic metals (depending on material)

  • Weld repair, seam reinforcement, and rework

Assembly & Sub-Assembly

  • Component fitting, tacking, alignment, and full weld

  • Assembly of multi-piece structures, frames, or modules

  • Mechanical fastening, bolting, inserts, and hardware installation

Finishing & Secondary Operations

  • Grinding, smoothing, and blending weld seams

  • Sandblasting, shot peening for surface prep

  • Coating, painting, powder coating, galvanizing

  • Final drilling, tapping, countersinking, and precision machining (if needed)

  • Inspection & Quality Control — dimensional checks, straightness checks, weld quality audits

Material Types We Fabricate

We work with a wide variety of metals and alloys, including:

  • Carbon steels & structural grades

  • Stainless steels (304, 316, etc.)

  • Mild steel, plate steel

  • Aluminum, brass, bronze

  • Tubing, pipe, angles, channels, beams

  • Exotic alloys (based on feasibility and client requirements)

Industries & Applications We Serve

Our fabrication expertise spans many fields. Some common applications include:

  • Structural steel for buildings, frames, and supports

  • Agricultural / farming implements and machinery

  • Off-road and heavy equipment assemblies

  • Marine frames, supports, and brackets

  • Industrial machinery components

  • Custom architectural metalwork and decorative elements

  • Prototype and low-volume custom builds

  • Repair and refurbishment of worn or damaged fabricated parts

Whether your need is functional, structural, decorative, or custom, we can help you design and build a solution.

Our Process & Quality Assurance

We follow a rigorous process to maintain consistency, reliability, and communication throughout your project:

  1. Consult & Quoting
    Share your drawings, models, concept sketches, or part needs. We evaluate materials, tolerances, cost, lead time, and will offer suggestions for fabrication-friendly design improvements.

  2. Material Procurement & Prep
    We source and stock required plate, structural sections, tubing, and raw stock. Initial cutting and pre-prep is done in our shop under controlled conditions.

  3. Setup & Fabrication
    Using jigs, fixtures, weld tables, and fixturing systems, we align every component before welding. We maintain dimensional control via in-process measurements and inspection.

  4. Assembly & Welding
    Sub-assemblies are tacked, measured, then fully welded. We pay attention to minimizing distortion and warpage, using tried-and-true welding sequencing, heat control, and straightening protocols.

  5. Post-Processing & Finish Work
    Welds are cleaned, ground, blended, and finished. Secondary machining, drilling, or fitting is done as needed. Parts go through surface treatments (painting, powder coating, galvanization, etc.) if required.

  6. Inspection & Delivery
    Before delivery, each fabricated assembly undergoes inspection checks — dimensional verification, straightness, weld quality, finish integrity. We package and ship with care, ensuring parts arrive in ready-to-install condition.

Typical Turnaround & Project Capacity

  • Small to medium sub-assemblies: 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity

  • Larger steel frames, full weldments, structural assemblies: 2–6+ weeks

  • Rush or emergency repairs: upon agreement, we can expedite particular jobs

  • Capacity to manage multi-unit runs or batch fabrication

We match lead time expectations to project scale, and communicate transparently throughout the process.

Why Our Fabrication Stands Out

Feature Benefit for You
In-house control Fewer handoffs, better quality consistency
Skilled welders & fabricators Certified welds, robust structures
Strong alignment & fixturing systems Reduced distortion, precise assemblies
Flexible material handling Broad material support (plate, sheet, tubing)
Quality documentation Traceability and inspection records
Local facility, national reach Easier shipping & service for Maine / New England clients

Case Studies & Sample Projects

  • Structural steel frames for equipment mounts

  • Welded frames and supports for agricultural machinery

  • Custom metal enclosures and housings

  • Repair or rebuild of damaged steel assemblies

  • Multi-piece welded sub-assemblies for OEM clients

Insert photos, CAD vs finished comparisons, testimonials, or job numbers to enhance trust and visual appeal.

How to Get Started / Request a Quote

Ready to move forward? Here’s how to get going:

  1. Provide your drawings/CAD files (STEP, IGES, DWG, PDF) or sketches

  2. Include material specs, finishing needs, tolerances, quantity, and timeline

  3. We’ll review, provide feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM), and issue a quote

  4. Upon approval, we schedule your fabrication work and maintain updates through completion
