Founded in 1932, Cincinnati’s Valley Metal Works provides custom metal fabrication and precision laser cutting for small- and medium-sized OEM and industrial production runs. The 34-person company grew from a sheet-metal shop and a 1950 tank-company acquisition into a one-stop operation that pairs engineering support with fabrication, machining partnerships, and finishing. Its welders are certified to AWS standards, while its sales engineers bring a combined century of fabrication experience to solving project details early.
