Thieman

What Thieman does

Thieman Quality Metal Fab Inc. is a privately held, Ohio-incorporated sub-contract metal fabricator founded in 1951 (originally as Thieman Stamping) and rebranded under its current name in March 2013, when it also obtained Women Business Enterprise (WBE) certification. The company operates from a single 130,000 sq ft manufacturing facility at 05140 Dicke Road, New Bremen, Ohio, with 51-100 employees including 23 AWS D1.1 certified welders. Thieman serves industrial customers requiring custom metal fabrication across light-gauge sheet metal, plate up to 1-inch thick, stainless, aluminum, and structural products, supporting both prototype development and production-quantity runs.

The company's core offering is structured around two service lines: Engineering (computer-aided drafting using Solid Edge, AutoCAD 2000i, and Metamation CAD/CAM) and Manufacturing (Fabrication and Welding). Fabrication capabilities are delivered through an installed base of advanced equipment including 3 Trumpf lasers (2x 5000W, 1x 4000W), a Trumpf 260T turret punch, a Series 5 Hy Performance plasma table with an 8x30 foot cutting area, Hurco and Leadwell CNC machining centers, 6 press brakes with 230-ton force, 4 punch presses, and a 15x36 foot paint booth for primer and powder coating. Welding capabilities span MIG, TIG, spot, and robotic welding using 3 Motoman robots, with quality verification via Laser Virtek and FARO Arm inspection under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system maintained since 2002.

Thieman runs a direct B2B go-to-market: customers engage via the company website, phone, or email ([email protected]) to request project quotes, with no public pricing, platform, or channel-based distribution. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based custom fabrication contracts with no subscription, licensing, or recurring component disclosed; specific revenue, customer count, and backlog figures are not publicly available.
