Fabral

What Fabral does

Fabral, founded in 1967 and headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a US manufacturer of metal roofing and wall panel systems serving residential, agricultural, architectural, commercial, and industrial construction. Its product portfolio spans standing seam panels (PowerSeam, Thin Seam, Horizon S100) and concealed fastener wall systems (Silhouette HCF Series, Décor-Flush), manufactured in steel and aluminum substrates with PVDF, Galvalume, and specialty paint finishes and backed by UL, ASTM, and CRRC certifications. The firm also distributes specification tooling such as a BIM/Revit content library and a RenoWorks-powered Color Visualizer to support architects and contractors during design.

The company operates eight manufacturing facilities across the United States (Lancaster PA; Jackson GA; Ft. Worth TX; Gridley IL; St. Joseph MN; Marshfield WI; Salt Lake City UT; Spokane WA), producing metal panels and trim for shipment to a nationwide authorized dealer network that includes 84 Lumber, ABC Supply, ProBuild, regional building materials suppliers, lumber yards, and specialized roofing distributors. Revenue is generated via one-time hardware sales to dealers (and via direct project quotes and the buyfabral.com portal), with no subscription or recurring component. Pricing is quote-based, varying by panel specifications, gauge, color, and geography.

In February 2026, Fabral was acquired by McElroy Metal, combining the two organizations into a 14-facility US metal construction platform. Fabral continues to operate independently under existing leadership, including President Dennis Merino, retaining its brand, employees, and customer relationships while gaining access to the acquirer's resources and broader manufacturing footprint.
