Chancey Metals

What Chancey Metals does

Chancey Metals, LLC is a Jacksonville, Florida-based turnkey custom metal fabricator founded in 1986 by Joseph (Lee) Chancey. The company produces Division 5 miscellaneous metals (stairs, railings, awnings, gates, fencing, canopies, bollards, bike racks), architectural metals (pergolas, trellises, cladding, panels, screens), custom UL-rated electrical enclosures and metal ductwork, and precision CNC machine parts and assemblies. Manufacturing is anchored by CNC plasma cutting, press brakes, MIG/TIG welding, an Amada fiber laser and Mitsubishi water jet, a continuous-loop powder coating line meeting AAMA 2604 standards, Hirebotics robotic welding, and weld fixturing for assemblies up to 25 feet. Chancey operates 200,000+ sq.ft. of production space including a 60,000+ sq.ft. aluminum plant (2025) capable of over 1,000 feet of rail per single-shift day, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and recognized UL manufacturer certifications.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting general contractors, multi-family developers, and architects on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with most quotes returned within 1-2 business days and lead times of 3-8 weeks. Revenue streams include custom metal fabrication, machine parts and assembly (via the CF Machine & Tool brand serving telecom, industrial controls, and green energy), UL electrical enclosures (via S&S Metal Fabrication), and high-volume metal stamping (via FabTech Supply) for electrical enclosure OEMs across North America. Since 2020, the platform has been owned by Geddes Enterprises, LLC and Indigo South Capital (the family investment office of former RingPower COO Timothy J. Geddes), with Steve Jenkins serving as CEO/President. Under this ownership Chancey has executed a roll-up, adding CF Machine & Tool, S&S Metals, FabTech Supply, and Exact, Inc. as acquired-but-retained brands while consolidating fabrication, finishing, and installation under a single accountability model for customers.
