Fab Form

What Fab Form does

Fab Form is a U.S. metal stamping and fabrication services company headquartered at 7667 Jenther Drive in Mentor, Ohio, founded in 1978 and operating as a subsidiary of the diversified industrial group Adam's Technologies. The company employs 51–100 people across a single facility running a three-shift, 24/7 production model that combines manned and 'lights-out' automated manufacturing. Fab Form sells custom metal-forming and fabrication services on a quote-based, project-by-project basis to enterprise industrial manufacturers, with multi-year contracts noted in its pricing posture and a horizontal segmentation strategy across multiple end markets rather than concentration in any single vertical.

The company's core technology stack spans the full sheet-metal and fabrication value chain: a 10 kW fiber laser for cutting material from 0.008-inch foil to 1-inch steel plate, automated punching centers with unattended load/unload, downward-acting presses from 20 to 120 tons, brake presses from 10 to 200 tons capable of bends up to 10 feet, in-house tool and die design and build, MIG/TIG/spot welding plus robotic welding cells for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and a finishing suite (black oxide, zinc plate, anodize, powder coat, wet paint, silk screen, heat treat, oil dip, galvanize) accessed through the Adam's Technologies family. This vertical integration is positioned as the company's central value proposition: customers contract a single point of contact for tooling design through finished, coated parts, reducing vendor management overhead, lead times, and cost.

Fab Form makes money through project-based service contracts priced per job, distributed via direct enterprise field sales led by a named Sales Manager and a leadership team (President Michael Rempel, General Manager Adam Rempel, Operations Manager Bill Ratliff, Purchasing Manager Bobby Feeney). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification continuously since June 29, 2017 (current cycle valid through June 28, 2025, recertification due before June 28, 2026), validated by Business Systems Certification. Its go-to-market is deliberately low-marketing: a 2024 website refresh and direct outreach form the primary channels, with no disclosed digital advertising, channel partners, or international distribution. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
