Southern Fabricating Machinery Sales

What Southern Fabricating Machinery Sales does

Southern Fabricating Machinery Sales, Inc. is a privately held industrial machinery dealer and broker headquartered in Lithia, Florida. The company buys, resells, and brokers new and used CNC, fabrication, and plastics machinery to manufacturing and fabrication facilities, job shops, research labs, and educational institutions across the United States. Its catalog spans CNC machining centers and turning centers, EDM (wire, hole drilling, diesinker), fabrication equipment (waterjets, press brakes, lasers, plasma, turret punches, plate rolls, tube benders), plastics processing machinery (injection molding, blow molding, extrusion), manual machine tools (lathes, mills, grinders, drills, saws), radial drill presses, and industrial robotics, with manufacturer coverage including Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Trumpf, Sodick, Makino, Mitsubishi, Doosan, and others.

Revenue is generated through six discrete streams: outright machinery resale from owned inventory, brokerage commissions on third-party sales, auction services for liquidation and plant closures, investment recovery for lenders, certified appraisals, and financing referrals through a partnership with Manufacturer's Capital. Distribution is primarily phone- and email-led direct sales backed by a website-based inventory with detailed machine specifications, supplemented by an eBay storefront and online auctions conducted with Integra Asset Solutions. The company's differentiation rests on 30+ years of cumulative manufacturing-systems experience held by its sales representatives and ownership (including President Andy Kamashian), a partner network used to source machines beyond its own inventory, and trade association memberships with MDNA, SME, AMEA, and BAMA plus BBB accreditation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with the one-off, high-value nature of each machine transaction.
