Marks Metal Technology

What Marks Metal Technology does

Marks Metal Technology is a single-source precision metal manufacturing company headquartered at 10300 SE Jennifer St., Clackamas, Oregon, in continuous operation since 1946. The company provides custom metal fabrication, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, plate rolling and forming, CNC press brake bending, machining, beveling, and AWS/ABS-certified welding under one roof, eliminating the multi-vendor coordination typical of job-shop work. It serves three primary customer verticals: precast concrete producers (custom concrete forms, catch basins, vaults, grade rings, joint rings, manhole/pipe forms), large manufacturers requiring high-tolerance components, and construction/architectural firms working on signature buildings such as the Seattle Escala Building, Phoenix Civic Space Park, and the Bellevue Hyatt. A smaller art and design segment handles commissioned artistic metalwork.
