What Prescott Metal does

Prescott Metal is a second-generation, family-owned precision sheet metal fabricator headquartered in Biddeford, Maine, operating continuously since its founding in 1918. The company produces precision sheet metal components, structural components, and precision tubular frames for industrial machinery and equipment OEMs, with stated dimensional tolerances of +/- .005 of an inch. Its core capabilities span programming and engineering using SolidWorks 3D CAD with CAM-driven nesting/programming, fiber laser cutting and turret punching (Amada LC 2515 C1 AJ combo and Amada ENSIS 3015 AJ 3kW), seven Amada press brakes including HG1003 ATC auto-tool changers, MIG/TIG/SPOT/LASER welding across a 5,000 sq ft dedicated sheet metal fabrication floor, precision frame fabrication, in-house powder coating and silk screening, and value-added assembly. ITAR registration enables defense-related work, and ISO 9001-2015 standards govern processing and inspection. The June 2024 acquisition of Tee Enterprises Precision Machining in Conway, NH extended the service portfolio into CNC milling, CNC turning, waterjet cutting, and rapid prototyping, and a sister-company relationship with Engineered Automation of Maine (EAM) provides complex assembly, PLC integration, and machine-vision inspection. Customers span healthcare, food service, defense, computer/electronics, aerospace, and automation/robotics, with primary geographic concentration in New England served by a proprietary delivery fleet.

• Tee Enterprises Precision MachiningcoreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing Partner · 28 June 2024Acquired by Prescott Metal in June 2024, Tee Enterprises is now a division of Prescott Metal providing precision CNC machining capabilities including CNC milling, CNC turning, and waterjet cutting. The acquisition expands Prescott Metal's offerings to include custom automation solutions, precision machining, and rapid prototyping services. Tee Enterprises maintains its Conway, NH location with existing staffing.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Protolabs: Large digital manufacturing platform offering automated quoting for CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding and 3D printing. Comparable as a competing channel for industrial OEMs seeking quick-turn fabricated metal parts, though it is far larger and serves customers nationwide rather than the New England regional craft fabricator niche.
• Xometry: On-demand manufacturing marketplace with sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining and finishing capabilities, serving industrial customers with AI-driven quoting. Directly overlaps with Prescott's quote-driven, drawing-submitted B2B motion and competes for the same machinery and equipment OEM customers at greater scale.

Regional players

• Mayville Metal Products: Wisconsin-based precision metal fabrication and contract manufacturing firm with capabilities spanning laser cutting, forming, welding, machining and finishing for industrial customers. Closely matches Prescott's full-service precision fabrication model but operates in the upper Midwest rather than New England.

Emerging players

• Quickparts: Custom manufacturing service offering CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal and 3D printing via online quoting. Comparable as a smaller-scale digitally enabled competitor to Prescott's quote-driven precision metal fabrication motion.

Direct peers

• Marlin Steel: Custom sheet metal fabrication and wire products manufacturer serving industrial and architectural customers with quick-turn and engineered-to-order parts. Comparable precision fabrication service-bureau business model, although focused on stainless steel and wire products rather than the wider mix Prescott offers.
• SendCutSend: Online-direct sheet metal and laser cutting service bureau offering instant quoting on uploaded drawings, with shipping across the US. Closely comparable business model (custom laser-cut and fabricated parts via digital quoting) but operates at higher volume and lower-touch than Prescott's regional full-service model.
• Empire Metal & Fabrication: Custom precision sheet metal fabrication shop serving Northeast industrial customers with laser cutting, forming, welding and finishing services. Comparable to Prescott on services, customer profile (machinery and equipment OEMs) and regional B2B sales-led motion, albeit at smaller scale.
• Hubs (by Protolabs): Manufacturing-as-a-service platform offering sheet metal fabrication, CNC, and 3D printing through a vetted network of partners, competing for the same drawing-upload-driven quote business that Prescott serves for industrial machinery and equipment customers.
