What Metalwork & Stamping does

Metalwork & Stamping is a privately held Mexican metalworking manufacturer founded in 2004 and headquartered in Saltillo, Coahuila. The company operates two integrated manufacturing plants — a Saltillo facility on 86,400 m² of land and a San Nicolás de los Garza (Monterrey metro) facility on 104,817 m² — and employs approximately 1,200 people across both sites. Its core services span metal fabrication (laser/plasma cutting, bending, manual and robotic welding), high-volume stamping using a fleet of 86 presses ranging from 90 to 2,000 tons, mechanical and robotic assembly (MIG, TIG, projection, resistance welding), and industrial spray painting under PPG, International, Carboline, and Sherwin Williams paint systems. The company runs in-house metrology laboratories with coordinate measuring machines at both plants and a PPG-certified paint laboratory with salt spray testing, supporting quality assurance across the production chain.

The business model is B2B contract manufacturing on an enterprise sales motion: the company targets automotive, energy, mining, white goods, electronics, and construction OEMs, with automotive as the primary vertical. Revenue is generated through project-based and program-based manufacturing services, including turnkey outsourcing of complete assembly lines with engineering and automation support. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, is registered under Mexico's IMMEX export-manufacturing program, and maintains AWS, ASME, WPS, WPQ, and ASNT welding qualifications. Annual output exceeds 25 million pieces.

Metalwork & Stamping monetizes through professional-services-style manufacturing fees rather than disclosed unit pricing. Its go-to-market relies on direct sales engagement via phone, WhatsApp, and email channels, supported by a corporate website with downloadable capability presentations. The dual-plant footprint, vertically integrated process chain, and certification stack position the company as a Tier 2 supplier within Northern Mexico's automotive corridor, leveraging regional labor cost arbitrage and proximity to OEM/Tier 1 assembly clusters to compete for high-volume stamping and painted-component programs.

Core offering

Metalwork & Stamping is a vertically integrated contract manufacturer that produces metal fabricated components, high-volume stamped parts, welded assemblies, and industrial spray-painted finished goods for enterprise customers. Operations span metal fabrication (laser/plasma cutting, welding, bending), stamping with 86 presses up to 2,000 tons, certified robotic and manual welding assembly, and PPG-supported industrial painting, supported by in-house CMM metrology and paint laboratories and specialized tooling maintenance.

Product overview

Metalwork & Stamping operates as a vertically integrated manufacturing company offering a portfolio of core metalworking services: metal fabrication (laser/plasma cutting, welding, bending), high-volume stamping (progressive and manual transfer processes with 86 presses ranging 90-2,000 tons), assembly (robotic and certified manual welding), and industrial spray painting. The company supports its manufacturing operations with internal quality laboratories (metrology and paint testing), specialized tooling maintenance, and automated assembly line development services. The four core service areas work together as an integrated manufacturing solution, particularly serving the automotive, energy, mining, appliance, electronics, and construction industries.
