Core offering

Atlas Manufacturing provides end-to-end precision sheet metal fabrication and contract manufacturing services for OEM customers, including custom laser cutting, CNC machining, sheet metal punching, forming, MIG/TIG/spot/CD stud welding, welded assemblies, in-house powder coating, cosmetic finishing, mechanical assembly, DFM/NPI engineering support, and logistics. The company delivers projects spanning prototyping through full production rollout, with +/- 0.005 inch tolerances and proprietary methods such as integrated formed-in-sheet hinges and distortion-free CD stud welding on thin-gauge material. Programs are executed under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems from Minneapolis, MN and Lake Hallie, WI facilities for industries including HPC/data centers, food service equipment, retail kiosks, medical/dental, industrial enclosures, and aerospace/defense.

Product overview

Atlas Manufacturing offers precision sheet metal fabrication as a unified contract manufacturing service, combining core fabrication capabilities (Custom Laser Cutting, Sheet Metal Forming, Sheet Metal Punching, Welding Services, CNC Machining) with value-added finishing services (In-House Powder Coating, Cosmetic Finishing Services) and integrated support services (Engineering & Design Support, Value Added Assembly, Logistics Support). The NPI Playbook serves as the operational framework that connects design review, material selection (including stainless grade guidance and material substitution), and validation into a cohesive process. All capabilities are delivered through ISO 9001:2015 compliant quality systems from facilities in Minneapolis, MN and Lake Hallie, WI.
