Accufab

What Accufab does

Accufab Inc. is a custom metal fabrication company headquartered at 232 Cherry St., Ithaca, New York, founded around 1980 and operating for over 40 years. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, finishes, and installs custom metalwork for industrial, construction, commercial, residential, healthcare, education, hospitality, and government clients across central New York and beyond. Its capabilities span a full-service sheet metal shop with CNC press brake, CNC pipe bending, and shearing equipment; comprehensive welding (MIG, TIG, SMAW, resistance spot welding, brazing, plasma cutting) staffed by AWS certified fabricators; material expertise across steel, stainless steel, aluminum, specialty alloys (AR plate, manganese impact plate, high-temperature stainless), copper, bronze, brass, and plastics; in-house design via AutoCAD and SolidWorks; and finishing services including powder coating, galvanizing, and patina. The company also offers mobile on-site welding and installation via two fully outfitted welding rigs, a 12' flatbed truck, and a 20' flatbed trailer, alongside standardized custom products such as stainless steel grease interceptors and countertops.

Accufab generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven custom fabrication services rather than published pricing tiers, distributing primarily through direct customer engagement via website, phone, and email. Its customer segments are horizontally diversified across industrial/manufacturing, construction/commercial, residential, hospitality/food service, and education/research, with marquee engagements including custom stairway railings for Cayuga Medical Center, a 'Memory Tree' sculpture for Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital, mobile chemistry lab frames and process piping for Cornell University, and a multi-element copper/stainless/structural buildout for Anyela's Vineyards. The firm operates with 11-50 employees from a single Ithaca facility.

In 2026, Accufab was acquired by Mayville Engineering Company (NYSE: MEC), a publicly traded manufacturing conglomerate, and now operates as a subsidiary contributing to MEC's data center and critical power end-market growth as disclosed in MEC's Q1 2026 earnings.
