If your business works with aluminum fabrication shops to create custom or standard aluminum extrusions, you know how important it is to get a quality product with a short lead time. Unfortunately, when it comes to adding finishes, such as painting aluminum products or custom aluminum coating solutions, your lead time will usually increase. Most shops will send out your pieces after they have created the extruded aluminum profiles to other shops that take care of secondary operations, fabrication or finishing. This increases your wait time as the pieces get shipped from service to service until the product is finally shipped off to you and your order is completed.
One stop shop fabrication, extrusion and finishing is available through Silver City Aluminum. Because we do everything in-house under the watchful eyes of our trained and experienced technicians, your custom aluminum extrusion order can be ready in nearly half the time compared to other aluminum fabrication shops. While the other guys can take anywhere between 30-45 days to complete a typical order, Silver Cty Aluminum has the unique ability to complete your order in just 3-4 weeks. This is our standard lead time for all customers, whether they are in Southeastern Massachusetts, New England or anywhere nationwide and around the globe.
Better Products. Happy Customers.
Reducing the lead time required to engineer, extrude, fabricate and finish your order is just part of the advantage to one stop shop fabrication. Imagine if you were to order a cheeseburger from a local restaurant. If each part of the process had to be done by a different worker – from grilling the meat to putting on the toppings to wrapping the burger and putting it in a bag – not only would it take more time to complete your order, but you would also have issues with consistency. Maybe the guy grilling the meat does a better job than the guy who puts on the toppings. Can you hold the guy who puts the burger in the bag responsible for the shoddy work done by the toppings guy?
When you work with a company that provides one stop shop fabrication throughout the entire process, you gain a huge advantage in quality, accountability and you will be able to see it in the final product. At Silver City Aluminum, you work directly with our staff to create your custom or standard aluminum extrusion order, from the design, engineering and extrusion of the aluminum profiles, as well as any secondary operations and finishing services. Anything you need, including custom aluminum coating solutions, assembly of parts or even anodizing and painting aluminum products, it is all done under one roof at our Taunton, MA facility.
