Sheet metal is something that many industries use for various purposes from automotive to construction, HVAC, and many things in between. Cutting, bending, and piecing sheet metal together can transform it into functional structures based on your business needs.
Just give our team a call if you need sheet metal fabrication in Chicago, IL. You can also keep reading to learn more about the sheet metal fabrication process and a case study with a local food manufacturer who needed our expertise to install a newly constructed metal platform.
Fabricating Sheet Metal
While you can purchase standard ductwork and lovers at a hardware store, sometimes, the standard product is just not right for what you need. Perhaps you have some ductwork that needs to jog around piping or a fire sprinkler. When the standard doesn’t work, a perfect fit can be custom fabricated by Althoff Industries.

Case Study
We recently worked with a food manufacturer who wanted to improve safety and operations by making it easier for employees to add ingredients to 2,500 and 3,000 gallon mixing tanks. The new platform needed to be created out of stainless steel so it would be easy to clean.

The experts at Althoff Industries precisely measured the dimensions of the new platform and used our metal fabrication tools to create it quickly and efficiently. It was completed in three sections so that it could be easily transported and installed on location.
The installation was completed in two days and the client had a safer, easy-to-clean, and more spacious platform to fill their tanks.
