From expansions to major contracts, our story is centred on defining moments and hard-earned achievements. We’re very proud of how far we’ve come, and now more than ever we’re looking to the future.
Our history
FABMEC was founded in 2004 when it landed its first contract. In the years that followed, we completed an exciting three-phase expansion of our manufacturing facility. We went on to expand our administrative offices in 2013, built a new aluminum welding shop in 2014, and purchased a CNC cutting table in 2015.
Since then, FABMEC has never stopped innovating. We’ve purchased a host of state-of-the-art equipment, including a cutting robot in 2018, and in 2022 we expanded our facilities. We have also made a number of administrative changes, such as streamlining our internal processes and bringing in foreign workers.
