A Fabrication Powerhouse

Shock Fabrication, a dynamic and growing company founded in 2000, has built a reputation for providing custom manufacturing services to a wide range of industrial customers across the United States.

Originally focused on miscellaneous metals and residential projects, the company expanded into higher-volume industrial work. As demand increased, speed and reliability became essential to daily production.

The team identified that CO₂ technology could no longer support the scale and urgency of its work, opening the way for a move into Eagle high-power fiber laser systems.

“Our center market had grown and we needed to move into higher power, higher reliability, and faster production.” Shock Fabrication
