MK Metal Products

What MK Metal Products does

MK Metal Products, Inc. is a privately-held custom metal fabricator founded in 1956 and headquartered in Mansfield, Ohio. The company operates two manufacturing facilities totaling approximately 100,000 square feet — a Mansfield facility focused on carbon steel fabrication and a Smithville facility (formerly Maverick Stainless Fabrication, which MK acquired) specializing in stainless steel and aluminum work. MK Metal designs and manufactures custom conveyor systems, industrial enclosures, power bases and platforms, and structural fabrications serving industrial OEMs across automotive (Honda), food service (Tyson), power generation and pumps (Linde, Gorman Rupp, Johnson Controls), welding (Lincoln Electric), tire and rubber, material handling, and general industrial segments.

The company's core product portfolio comprises three categories: conveyor systems (belt, chain, spiral, CDLR, ZTR, steel belt, truck loaders, and specialty conveyors), enclosures (sound attenuating, weather-resistant, trailer-mounted for power generation and pump applications), and power bases/platforms/stairs (structural fabrications for power generation OEMs). Underlying technology includes Trumpf 4K Watt laser cutting and Trumpf Trubend brake presses at Smithville, a Messer CNC plasma table and hydraulic press brakes at Mansfield, AWS and AISI certified welding (including nuclear-grade), and in-house 3D/SolidWorks engineering. MK Metal is a licensed Intralox provider, integrating ZTR and ARB proprietary belt technologies into custom conveyor solutions, and is qualified for fabrications up to 40,000 lbs.

The business model is project-based custom manufacturing with quote-driven pricing, no public list pricing, and direct enterprise field sales. Revenue derives from one-off custom fabrication projects and ongoing manufacturing contracts with industrial customers. Go-to-market is direct — quote request forms segmented by conveyor type, a website capabilities showcase, and a LinkedIn presence — supplemented by the Intralox channel partnership. Ownership is closely held, with President/Owner David Faulkner and VP/Partner David Cole leading a team that the company describes as carrying combined 75 years of engineering experience drawn from CMP Corporation and FKI Logistics backgrounds. No public revenue, funding history, or growth metrics are disclosed.

Core offering

MK Metal Products is a custom metal fabrication manufacturer that designs, engineers, and builds conveyor systems, custom metal enclosures, and structural fabrications (power bases, platforms, stairs, and skid bases) for industrial OEMs. Production uses carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel across two Ohio facilities totaling 100,000+ sq ft, with in-house 3D/SolidWorks engineering, certified welding (including nuclear), Trumpf laser cutting, CNC plasma cutting, brake pressing, and pre-shipment floor testing. The company supports projects from concept and engineering through fabrication, assembly, testing, and full-field installation service.

Product overview

MK Metal Products is a custom metal fabrication manufacturer founded in 1956, operating two modern facilities totaling 100,000+ square feet in Ohio. The company's core product portfolio consists of three main categories: Conveyor Systems (custom conveyors for material handling including belt, chain, spiral, and specialty conveyors), Enclosures (sound attenuating, weather-resistant, and trailer-mounted for power generation and pump applications), and Power Bases/Platforms/Stairs (structural fabrications for power generation industries). Supporting these core products are sheet metal and structural fabrication services using carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel. The company also provides in-house engineering and design services with 3D and solid modeling capabilities, along with finishing services including sandblasting and painting. The portfolio functions as an integrated offering where custom fabrications serve as the foundation, with conveyors and enclosures representing the primary finished product lines, and power bases/platforms serving as specialized structural components for industrial applications.
