Vision Fabrication and Design

What Vision Fabrication and Design does

Vision Fabrication and Design, operating as Vision Fab, is a privately held design and manufacturing company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The firm specializes in custom and standard fabricated equipment for the live entertainment industry, including mobile stage systems, concert rooftops, aluminum truss in multiple profiles, modular stage deck systems, steel and aluminum concert barricades, and a full automation portfolio covering turntable stages, hydraulic lift stages, and mobilator stages with remote controls. Manufacturing is performed in-house by AWS certified welders and certified structural engineers using 6061 T6 aluminum alloy construction, with capabilities spanning welding, machining, hydraulics, electrics, carpentry, and motion controls.

Vision Fab generates revenue through three streams: one-time sales of standard catalog products (trussing, staging, mobile stages, barricades, lifts, turntables), custom fabrication projects built to client specifications for concert touring, corporate, professional sports, and festival applications, and managed-service rentals of automation systems distributed through partner Spectrum Production Services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with custom products made to order and many contract relationships spanning multiple years. Distribution is direct from the Minnesota headquarters to enterprise clients, supplemented by the rental channel partner.

The customer base is concentrated in marquee concert touring artists and a smaller set of corporate brand and professional sports clients, with equipment deployed across every U.S. state, Mexico, Canada, and aluminum barricades in use in more than 22 countries. Marketing and sales are predominantly direct via the company's website quote request system and through industry trade presence, supported by Facebook and Twitter accounts. The company does not operate a software or app layer, has no API or SDK, and does not disclose revenue, headcount growth, funding history, or management team composition.
