What FABRICATING & WELDING CORPORATION does

Fabricating & Welding Corporation is a family-owned, third-generation steel fabrication and welding company headquartered at 12246 S. Halsted Street in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 1969, the company operates a 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility equipped with a 10-ton crane and maintains 800-1,000 tons of indoor steel inventory to support rapid turnaround. Service offerings span the full fabrication lifecycle from raw material to finished product, including custom plasma cutting, heavy plate fabrication, stainless steel work, sheet metal processing, forming, punching, shearing, rolling, flame cutting, thermal stress relieving, certified MIG/TIG welding, sawing, detailing, blasting, and powder coating.

The company serves four primary vertical segments — Mechanical, Structural, Fall Protection, and Architectural — across Illinois, with a geographic focus on the Chicago metropolitan area. Its go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based: customers request quotes through an online form or direct phone contact (773.928.2050), and the company emphasizes quick quote turnaround and fast delivery as its primary commercial differentiators. The firm is privately held by the DelCotto family (Greg DelCotto and Pat DelCotto are listed contacts), with Steve Samelak as an additional operating contact; no external capital, funding rounds, or ownership changes are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through custom one-off fabrication contracts priced per quote, with no publicly disclosed pricing structure, recurring revenue streams, or subscription model. Customer concentration and named logos are not disclosed in the available data. The company maintains industry memberships in the Iron Workers Local 473, Iron League of Chicago, Illinois Manufacturer Association, Southland Chamber of Commerce, and Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, but has no disclosed strategic partnerships, acquisitions, or technology investments.
