Advanced Metal Fabrication & Machine

What Advanced Metal Fabrication & Machine does

Advanced Metal Fabrication and Machine, Inc. is a precision metal fabrication and CNC machining job shop founded in 1984 by Dale Aurich and headquartered in a 33,000–34,000 square foot facility in Prescott, Arizona. The company provides an integrated suite of manufacturing services spanning precision sheet metal fabrication, CNC milling and turning, precision tube bending and fabrication, laser cutting (Trumpf TruLaser 1030 with .002 inch tolerance), CNC punching and stamping, TIG/MIG/spot welding, prototyping, in-house design via SolidWorks CAD, and manufacturing optimization. The operation runs 24 hours a day, 6 days a week across 40+ machining and fabrication stations, enabling both one-off prototyping and volume production runs from a single facility.

The company serves enterprise customers across seven primary verticals—aerospace, automotive, electronics and electrical, communications, medical, industrial machinery, and commercial manufacturing—with named relationships that include Motorola, Intel, Honeywell, AT&T, and General Electric. Customer acquisition is sales-led and quote-based, with prospects submitting project specifications and CAD files (up to 5 files) through the company website. The business operates on a project-based, one-time-purchase revenue model with no public pricing; quote turnaround speed and one-day shipping to Phoenix, Flagstaff, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas are highlighted as competitive differentiators. Drop-ship direct to end customers is offered as a channel option.

Advanced Metal Fabrication & Machine is family-owned and bootstrapped with no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed. Governance rests with founder-CEO Dale Aurich, whose sons Jesse and Jared manage shop equipment and laser/SolidWorks operations respectively, signaling a multi-generational succession posture. The firm holds MIL-I-45208 military inspection certification and operates from a facility with 3 acres of adjacent land available for expansion. No revenue, headcount, or current capacity utilization figures are disclosed in the available sources.
