FCP

What FCP does

FCP (FCP Inc.) is a privately held, California-licensed industrial steel mezzanine and custom steel structure manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Wildomar, California. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs modular steel mezzanines, platforms, industrial canopies, and prefabricated metal buildings under the DBA names FCP Mezzanine, FCP Structures, and FCP Creative Steel Solutions. Its core technology is the proprietary ConnectRite™ cold-formed steel connection system, which underlies the Free-Space Mezzanines™ product line — the first moment-resistant, bi-directional rigid frame system approved by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and adopted by the International Building Code (IBC) and California Building Code (CBC). This code pre-approval, combined with a bolt-together modular architecture and CSI modular mezzanine specification, compresses permitting timelines and on-site labor relative to traditional construction or non-pre-approved systems.

FCP serves a diverse set of end markets including material handling, manufacturing, warehousing, aerospace and defense, government and military, retail and e-commerce, healthcare, education, and entertainment. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, project-based contracts for custom-engineered steel structures, supplemented by bundled structural engineering, permitting support, installation, and training services. The company sells via direct engagement through its website, RFP workflow, and phone (with a Spanish-speaking contact), and through a channel of material handling dealers, contractors, and system integrators — the latter of which is being actively expanded across the Western United States under a Director of Sales hired in March 2026. FCP operates with California Contractor License #847398, is a member of MHI (Material Handling Industry), and serves customers ranging from NASA, SpaceX, Tesla, and Amazon to mid-market material handling dealers and municipal agencies, though specific active-revenue attribution across the 40+ year logo set is not disclosed.

Mezzanine and Platform Accessories: FCP sells a full range of mezzanine accessories including stairs, landings, guardrails, gates (slide, swing, pivot safety), decking options, access ladders, OSHA stairs, crossover stairs, vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs), pallet drops, and bar grating. These accessories complement platform projects and are sold alongside primary structure purchases.
4. Engineering and Permit Support Services: FCP provides structural engineering, design and estimating, foundation engineering, permitting support, field services, installation, and training as bundled or standalone services accompanying its product sales. These professional services support the core product revenue stream.
