Ferrotek Corporation

What Ferrotek Corporation does

Ferrotek Corporation is a Pacific Northwest structural and miscellaneous metal fabricator incorporated in 1987 and headquartered in Ferndale, Washington. The company operates two divisions: a Fabrication division that delivers structural steel, refinery structures, platforms, vessels, and custom metalwork for private/commercial construction, petrochemical, education, healthcare, and public-infrastructure clients; and a Truck Body and Equipment division that sells, installs, and services commercial truck bodies (cab protectors, crane trucks, dump trucks, flatbeds, hoists, service and utility bodies) along with aftermarket accessories and chassis modifications.

The company's technical stack centers on conventional metal-fabrication processes (welding, shearing, braking, rolling, cutting, punching, machining) augmented by CNC plasma cutting, CAD-based design and estimating, and a vertically integrated workflow that runs from initial drawing through in-house sandblasting and painting at a dedicated 2,400 sq ft finishing facility. Production is housed in an 18,000 sq ft shop equipped with two full-length overhead cranes on a 10-acre Delta Tech Industrial Park site adjacent to Interstate 5, enabling handling of both large industrial jobs and smaller custom work.

Ferrotek's business model is project-based and quote-priced, with revenue generated through one-time contracts for fabrication services and truck equipment sales/installation/service rather than recurring or subscription arrangements. GTM is sales-led and direct, serving enterprise industrial buyers (British Petroleum, Conoco Phillips, Shell Oil), regional commercial construction clients, government and school district projects, and commercial truck operators across Washington State and the broader Pacific Northwest. The firm has 11-50 employees and remains privately held with no external funding or parent company disclosed.
