What Matrix Industries does

Matrix Industries is a privately held custom metal fabrication company headquartered at 16650 SW Shaw Street in Beaverton, Oregon, with a mailing address in Aloha. Founded in 1983, the firm employs between 11 and 50 people and runs a hybrid B2B/B2C operation: it serves local contractors and construction customers on structural steel and miscellaneous metalwork projects, while also reaching direct consumers through public welding workshops and a small e-commerce storefront. Operating geographies are confined to the United States (Oregon market), with no disclosed international footprint, no institutional funding, no parent company, and no public listing.

The company's core technical capability is certified welding across four processes (TIG, FCAW, SMAW, GTAW) on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, supported by in-house metal finishing (galvanizing, powder coating, electroplating, wet paint) and design assistance using Tekla and AutoCAD. Differentiation rests on multi-process welding certification, portable on-site welding service delivery, and a design-partner workflow targeting exceptional detailing on structural steel. Installation services are bundled with fabricated parts, allowing the firm to capture downstream value on jobs it produces.

Revenue is generated through four streams: project-based custom fabrication (one-time, quote-based on job specifications); hardware product sales through the e-commerce storefront (e.g., HSS 6x6 planters at $170 from offcut material); scheduled educational welding workshops (DIY Welding at $75/person, Date Night Welding at $300 flat fee for up to six couples, Private Welding sessions priced hourly from $70); and a standalone Design Services offering at $110. Sales motion is primarily sales-led via direct contact (David Hurford, Victor Delgado) and a shop phone line, supplemented by the website and integrated social sharing for top-of-funnel awareness. No quantitative revenue, headcount trend, or growth disclosures are available in the source material.

Emerging players

• Fractory: Fractory is an online metal fabrication platform offering cutting, bending, and finishing services via a network of manufacturing partners. Overlaps with Matrix on custom metal fabrication and finishing services, though it sells through a digital platform rather than a single shop.
• Maker's Row: Maker's Row is a marketplace that connects buyers with American custom manufacturers including metal fabricators. Comparable to Matrix as a channel for small-batch custom metalwork, though it functions as a platform rather than operating its own shop.

Broad incumbents

• Xometry: Xometry is a large online marketplace connecting buyers to a network of custom manufacturers, including metal fabrication and finishing. Comparable to Matrix as a competitor for custom metal work, but operates as a broad multi-process platform rather than a single physical fabrication shop.

Direct peers

• OnlineMetals.com: OnlineMetals.com sells small-quantity metals and custom-cut parts directly to consumers and small businesses online. Comparable to Matrix's retail/e-commerce channel selling finished or semi-finished metal items like planters and pipe supports to end users.
• SendCutSend: SendCutSend is an online custom metal cutting and fabrication service that ships cut and finished parts nationwide from a centralized operation. Comparable to Matrix's e-commerce and custom fabrication offering as a same-category competitor targeting buyers who need small-to-mid volume custom metal parts.
• Metal Supermarkets: Metal Supermarkets operates a North American franchise network of small-format stores selling cut-to-size metal products and basic fabrication services to walk-in customers and small businesses. Directly comparable to Matrix Industries' combination of custom metal sales and small-shop fabrication, with an overlapping SMB and consumer customer base.
• Fox Fabrication: Fox Fabrication is a Pacific Northwest custom metal fabrication shop offering welding, structural steel, and miscellaneous metal services. Direct competitor in the same regional market with overlapping customer segments (contractors, businesses, and consumers needing custom metalwork).

Regional players

• Portland Bolt & Manufacturing: Portland Bolt & Manufacturing is a Pacific Northwest structural fastener and steel product manufacturer serving industrial and construction customers. Comparable to Matrix as a regional structural steel/fabrication peer operating in the same Oregon construction market with overlapping contractor customers.
