Our Commitment to American Manufacturing

At MetalFabGuys.com, we’re proud to be veteran owned and even prouder to say that everything we build is Made in America. From design to fabrication, every weld and finished edge is crafted here at home by supporting local jobs, our economy, and the communities we serve.

That pride in country and craftsmanship starts with our president, Michael Hackley, a U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant (Veteran) whose leadership and attention to detail continue to shape our culture today. 

Inside our shop, a hand-painted American flag mural featuring a bomber was commissioned by co-owner Richard Stewart in Michael’s honor. It stands as a daily reminder of what we stand for; hard work, freedom, and integrity. Every time we walk past it, we’re reminded of the values that built this shop and the people who keep it strong. 

      

At Metal Fab Guys®, we don’t just fabricate metal we build with purpose. Each product that leaves our shop represents the same resilience and pride that define American manufacturing. Read More

Owner and president, Michael Hackley (USAF SSgt, 1985–1994), carries his Air Force pride into every facet of our work—his commitment to excellence and service is the backbone of Metal Fab Guys® and the spirit that drives our entire team.

Rooted in tradition and driven by innovation, we take pride in delivering excellence at every stage, from design and engineering to fabrication and finishing. Our mission is simple: to strengthen American manufacturing through craftsmanship, quality, and community.

This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who’ve served and continue to serve our nation. Their courage and dedication inspire us daily to build with purpose, lead with integrity, and keep American-made manufacturing strong.

To all veterans—thank you for your service and sacrifice.
