Fabcor Metal Fabricators

What Fabcor Metal Fabricators does

Fabcor Metal Fabricators (legal entity Fabcor, Inc.) is a family-owned precision metal fabrication company headquartered in Minster, Ohio, founded in 1985 by Robert Hoying and his son Jon Hoying. The company operates from a 72,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that is currently being expanded by an additional 44,000 square feet, and is led by Jon Hoying alongside third-generation family member Jacob Hoying, who joined in 2018. Fabcor serves more than 3,000 customers across 35+ countries, with individual project values reported in excess of $3 million and assembly weights up to 40,000 pounds.

The company delivers an end-to-end fabrication service portfolio: design and engineering (AutoCAD, Inventor, TruTops Boost, TruTops Tube Design); flat laser cutting on Trumpf TruLaser 5030 (10kW) and 5040 (12kW) with PartMaster automation; tube laser cutting on the Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 with RapidCut; large-format CNC machining on a FlexCNC G-Series with a 360" x 72" x 19.5" envelope; press brake forming on Trumpf TruBend 5320 and 7050 with ACB technology; MIG, TIG, spot, stud, and robotic welding supported by 10-ton overhead crane capacity; and finishing services including powder coating, wet paint, and heat treating. Service differentiation rests on large-format capability, integrated design-to-finish workflow, and equipment depth rather than proprietary software.

Fabcor runs a sales-led, project-based business model with custom quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct B2B, organized around two verticals: industrial manufacturers (primary) spanning automation, robotics, pumps and equipment, machinery, farm equipment, and emergency vehicles, and a dedicated Jails/Correctional Products Division serving government correctional facilities. The company has no public funding rounds, no external equity or parent company, and no app or API offering. Recent operational moves include the 2025 implementation of Paperless Parts quoting technology, a record sales year in 2025, and planned 2026 deployment of a Fulcrum ERP system, additional Trumpf press brakes, and additional FlexCNC machining centers.
