What Prince Service does

Prince Service & Manufacturing is a custom metal fabrication and precision machining company headquartered in Macon, Georgia, operating as an affiliated company within the Unified Legacy conglomerate. Founded in 1965, the company employs 300+ skilled workers across 160,000+ square feet of production floor space split between facilities in Macon and Byron, Georgia. Its core service lines are sheet metal fabrication, precision machining, structural steel fabrication, industrial service work (including plant maintenance and millwright services), and heavy plate fabrication. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, AS9100 certified for aerospace quality management, and carries ASME R, S, and U stamps for pressure vessel repair, power boiler fabrication, and unfired pressure vessels. Legal entity name is Prince Service & Manufacturing; doing-business-as names include Prince Service and Prince Service & MFG.

The company's technical capabilities center on advanced CNC equipment: Mitsubishi CNC laser cutting systems (up to 6000 watts), dual-head water jet tables capable of cutting material up to six inches thick without heat-affected zones, a Fusion Arc 300C robotic welding cell with a 6-axis Almega arm, multi-axis Mazak machining centers with 5-axis capability (parts up to 30 x 80 inches), CNC press brakes up to 200 tons (and a 1,000-ton press brake in heavy plate), and in-house powder coating with a 20-foot curing oven plus vibratory finishing to food- and medical-grade standards. Sheet sizes for heavy plate reach up to 8' x 40' (with capacity to 100 feet) and up to 6 inches thick. Simulation-driven bend calculation uses SolidWorks and Metamation. Three discrete products are sold alongside services: C-130J NP-2000 propeller maintenance and storage stands engineered for the Collins Aerospace NP-2000 propeller system (C-130H, E-2 Hawkeye), modular bus stop shelters co-developed with Truss US, and modular tire racks for military and civilian tarmac use.

Prince Service generates revenue primarily through project-based custom fabrication contracts priced via quote (not publicly disclosed pricing), with one-time project billing on contracts that can run multi-year. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales — phone, website quote request, and field engagement for defense and enterprise accounts. Stated primary customer segments are Aerospace & Defense and Power Generation (vertical segmentation); secondary segments include Municipal/Public Transit, Industrial/Manufacturing, and general manufacturing. Named customers include the US Department of Defense, Montana Air National Guard, E-2 Hawkeye operators, naval/maritime minesweeper programs, and municipal transit authorities. Distribution is direct; there is no reseller or distributor channel. The combination of regulated certifications (ASME, AS9100), brand reputation (Inc. 5000 2025, multiple Best and Brightest 2024 awards), and capital-intensive equipment footprint creates meaningful barriers to entry in defense and pressure vessel fabrication markets.
