About | SMF, Inc

Superior Metal Fabrication

Focused on Professionalism, Customer Service, and Quality

Since Day One

SMF, Inc. was founded in Minonk, Illinois in 1972 as a metal manufacturing facility. Since then, we have opened two additional locations in Anderson, South Carolina and Tulsa, Oklahoma to expand our reach and serve customers across the country. SMF has subsequently evolved into a full-service fabrication and machining company with a combined total of 240,000 square feet of facility space.

As a Tier One supplier to OEMs, we are held to high-quality standards by our many Fortune 500 clients. Although we have grown to exceed the constantly growing demands of the industry, we have maintained our service-minded attitude for more than four decades. Today, we remain just as focused on client care and building quality relationships as we were in 1972.

From Your Metal Fabrication Partner

If your current fabrication partner regularly delivers subpar-quality products, misses deadlines, and offers below-average customer service, you’re unfortunately not alone. Simply put, SMF isn’t like other metal fabrication companies.

At SMF, we think you deserve better—so we’re committed to raising the bar for the metal fabrication industry.

What Makes Us Different

Breadth of Capabilities

You shouldn’t have to rely on multiple service providers for each job. We have the equipment to handle a wide range of fabrication services for medium to heavy metals. From saw and laser cutting to welding to powder coating, SMF can handle your job under one roof.

Quality

In addition to being ISO 9001:2015 certified, we also employ Six Sigma methodologies to maintain and improve our abilities, as well as review and consistently improve our processes. This data-driven approach helps eliminate defects in any of our systems so that our clients never have to lower their quality standards.

Deliveries

When you work with SMF, late deliveries are a thing of the past. We provide local delivery for certain products in our company-owned trucks, saving you money on shipping. For larger products or customers outside of our delivery area, our dedicated team will help you find the lowest freight cost with the quickest turnaround time.

Customer Service

Since we were founded, we’ve grown into a multi-location company with a full service support team. We’re focused on prompt, clear, and honest communication. We are proud to have a customer-oriented corporate strategy.

Our Reputation

Speaks for Itself

“The large structures we ask SMF to fabricate are not easy to build. But you would not know it when you receive your final product. Every fabricated part and welded assembly, along with the locations of every nut, bolt and screw was precisely placed and on point, every time.”
Richard C.Project Engineer

“The relationship that [our company] has formed with SMF over the course of multiple projects has allowed [our company] to increase production capabilities and grow as a company. SMF has been a valued resource for fabrication of large weldments that are the base of our machines. The key to our growth with SMF is communication of expectations and requirements that are set by [our] standard. SMF has proven to go the extra mile to ensure deadlines are met and quality is upheld. SMF will be a continued part of growth at [our company] for years to come.”
Cole B.Mechanical Engineer

“[Our company] has been extremely satisfied with the service and quality that SMF has demonstrated over the 6+ years I have been purchasing.

Our manufacturing division most definitely prefers the quality that we receive in SMF parts.

It is a pleasure to work with Michael and Avery. They give me competitive pricing, communication, and assistance with special projects.

I have true confidence in all products and lead times SMF provides.”
