At Arrow Engineered Products, we know that innovation is one of the best ways to provide high-quality products that are aligned with our customers’ requirements and expectations. 

This belief follows in the footsteps of our forefathers, who planted the roots of our company back in 1923. They understood the importance of embracing technology to stay competitive, and their forward-thinking approach helped us become a world-class machined fabricated parts and components supplier to manufacturers around the world.

Creating A Culture Of Continuous Improvement

Arrow Engineered Products’ roots in our industry stretch back to 1923 when our predecessors first launched our Steelcraft facility. One hundred one years is a long time to be in the OEM metal fabrication business, especially in an industry where the wrong approach can quickly impact a company’s bottom line.

Demystifying Industry Standards and Certifications in Metal Machining

Our work at Arrow Engineered Products requires that we hold several certifications that demonstrate our commitment to quality, safety, and skills updating in everything we do.

To help our customers better understand which certifications we hold and at which Arrow facility, we thought the list and breakdown below would be helpful.

Choosing The Right Materials For Precision Machining Projects

One of the most essential components of any CNC precision machining project is deciding which material is best for a particular application. The decision can be challenging for those new or unfamiliar with the fabrication process as many factors come into play.

At Arrow Engineered Products, we work closely with our customers to help them determine which material options work best for their application.

Using Metalwork To Create Decorative Sculpture

When thinking of decorative sculpture, one might recall images of lone artists such as Michelangelo or Donatello chipping away at a solid piece of marble to create a masterpiece designed to last for ages.

Fast-forward to today, when modern sculptors have moved from the art studio to metal fabrication facilities to create custom-fabricated metal artwork, canopies, statues, and other metal decorative elements for government buildings, schools, commercial plazas, public parks, luxury homes, and much more.

The Role Of Technology In Modern Metal Fabrication

Metal fabrication is a centuries-old practice of making unique shapes from raw materials to serve a particular purpose. As humankind’s needs have evolved since those early days, so too has the technology used to create customized metal products. 

Arrow Engineered Products has roots in this industry going back to 1923. Although 100 years is a relatively short period of time in the long history of metalworking, it’s during this period that innovations have advanced the most.

Arrow’s Proven Methodology Of Metal Fabrication Results

The team at Arrow Engineered Products prides itself on using a combination of technology and advanced skill sets to help our customer achieve their objectives, resulting in organic growth and better market positioning in their industry. 

Whether we’re crafting large, heavy-duty steel storage tanks or components for delicate surgical instruments, we follow a proven methodology that brings the best quality results to metal fabrication, every time.

Common Challenges In Large-Scale Metal Projects

With over 100 years in the metal machining and fabrication industry, we’ve seen every challenge imaginable in large-scale metal projects. Thanks to hard work and ingenuity, our team has always risen to address these challenges with forward-thinking, innovative solutions.
