What Fenco Solutions does

Fenco Solutions is a privately held American manufacturer of custom steel furniture, casework, and workspace solutions founded in 1957 and headquartered in Burlington, New Jersey, with a second manufacturing facility in Louisville, Kentucky (operated in part through its wholly-owned Lyons Manufacturing subsidiary, acquired in 2019). The company designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs all-welded steel products across multiple product lines, including laboratory casework (marketed under the Lab Design sub-brand), financial security casework (Fenco Bank Equipment), retail pharmacy solutions, checkout and front-end retail fixtures, food service equipment, safety and security cabinets, tables and work surfaces, millwork, server racks, and custom metal and stainless steel fabrication. Underlying technology is centered on heavy-duty all-welded steel construction with corrosion-, rust-, chemical-, fire-, and scratch-resistant finishes, supported by in-house design engineering using Auto-CAD, SolidWorks, and CAM tooling for material utilization and part validation.

The business sells primarily into enterprise end markets including banking and financial services, healthcare and pharmaceutical, retail and grocery, food and beverage, aerospace, education, government, chemical, and cannabis, with named customers spanning Wells Fargo, Chase, Citibank, Capital One, Penn Medicine, Merck, Janssen, PepsiCo, Folgers, Walmart, ALDI, Dollar General, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Boeing, Bell Helicopters, SpaceX, and Solenis. The company is GSA-approved (MAS Contract 47QSMS25D003T), NMSDC-certified as a Minority-Owned Business Enterprise, and sells exclusively American-made products with quoted lead times of 6-12 weeks for casework and furniture and 2-4 weeks for smaller accessories.

The business model combines direct enterprise field sales (working with architects, interior designers, and general contractors) with a dealer and distributor network, generating revenue from custom hardware sales and complementary design-build professional services including workplace design, design consulting, project management, installations, and emergency response and expedited supply services. Pricing is custom and quote-based with no public price list, and contracts tend to be project-driven and multi-year. The current executive team is led by CEO Pieter "Pete" Ras (joined January 2023 from Reading Truck Group, PPG, and Nissan) and CFO Dennis Epperson (joined August 2024), supported by a broader leadership bench with deep manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering credentials.
