Heavy & Light Commercial

If you’re searching for a reliable partner to produce commercial-grade metal components, you’re in the right place. Wherever you are in the commercial supply chain, LCNW helps you move faster, with less friction and more confidence.

We’re not just a vendor. We’re a full-service metal fabrication team with the tools, people, and systems help you scale.

Contract Manufacturing That Feels In-House

LCNW was built for commercial clients that don’t have time to manage five different suppliers just to finish one part.

What types of commercial firms do we work with?

LCNW works with teams across the commercial sector, including:

  1. 01Display & trade show

    Display and trade show fabrication companies needing custom brackets, panels, and mounting plates

  2. 02Packaging machinery

    Packaging machinery manufacturers looking for formed sheet metal frames and high-tolerance fastened or welded assemblies

  3. 03Vending, lighting & housings

    OEMs building vending machines, lighting brackets and enclosures, housings, or commercial-grade frames

  4. 04HVAC

    HVAC contractors and manufacturers needing components, enclosures, and chassis

  5. 05Plumbing & electrical fixtures

    Plumbing and electrical fixture suppliers that want consistent, production-quality metal parts on repeat

  6. 06Don’t see your team here?

    If you buy cut, formed or welded metal parts, send us a drawing and we’ll tell you how we’d build it.

LCNW handles your challenges

We’re often described as a “one-stop shop,” but what makes us different is our ability to think like your team. Our process is collaborative, and our experience in commercial manufacturing means we spot issues before they turn into delays.

  • Material sourcing from vetted U.S. mills and distributors
  • Laser cutting and precision sheet metal forming
  • High tolerance CNC milling
  • Welding and mechanical fastenings
  • Surface finishing, coatings, and secondary machining
  • Final inspections and packaging per your requirements

Made in the USA. Built for Commercial Scale.

Every part that leaves our shop is made in the U.S., with processes built for consistency and repeatability. Whether you need ten prototypes for a new design or thousands of parts each month, we can scale with you—without cutting corners. We’re proud to support:

  • Prototype runs for design validation
  • Production for critical installs
  • High-volume fabrication for national rollouts
  • DFM (Design for Manufacturability) guidance to reduce cost and complexity

From Parts to Assemblies - Let’s Build What’s next.

At LCNW, we help commercial teams move with speed and clarity. If you’re frustrated by vendors who disappear mid-project - or deliver parts that miss the mark and cause delays- let’s talk.

We’ll work with you to get it done right.

Industries we serve

Same shop, other industries

Since 1992, LCNW has run more than 129,000 jobs for over 1,000 customers, from espresso machines to ship interiors. The same 100,000 sq ft shop in Auburn, WA, the same automated lasers and robotic weld cells, and the same ISO 9001 quality system carry a one-off prototype and a national production rollout alike. Whatever your industry, you get a partner that has already solved problems like yours for someone else.

FAQs

Are your parts made in the USA?
Yes. Everything we fabricate is done right here in the U.S., with the ability to source materials that meet domestic requirements such as Buy American or DFARS when specified by contract. Mill Test Reports (MTRs) can be provided upon request to support material traceability.
Can I talk to someone before I send in a drawing?
Definitely. We encourage it. Whether you’re still figuring out specs or you want to double-check tolerances before quoting, our team is here to help. You can speak directly with a customer service representative anytime.
What should I include in a fabrication drawings for commercial?
The more detail you provide upfront, the smoother the process — and the better the outcome. To ensure accuracy and avoid delays, your shop drawing should include:
– Part name or drawing number
– Revision level
– Material type
– Dimensions and tolerances
– Hole placements and bend details
– Secondary processes (e.g., tapping, machining, countersinking)
– Weld symbols and locations
– Hardware callouts
– Bill of Materials (BOM) for assemblies
– Finish requirements (e.g., powder coating, plating)
– Notes or flags for any critical features or inspection points
How can commercial OEMs lower costs without sacrificing quality?
It comes down to repeatability and planning. Consistent builds from a single supplier reduce scrap and rework. Involving a fabricator like LCNW early allows our team to spot cost-saving opportunities. By working with your engineering team to design for manufacturability, LCNW ensures parts are produced as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.
Is American-made metal fabrication still competitive for commercial products?
Yes, especially when quality, logistics, and compliance matter. Domestic shops like LCNW typically offer faster turnarounds, tighter Quality Control, and closer collaboration than offshore vendors - without the risk of shipping delays or regulatory mismatches.
What’s the difference between laser cutting and waterjet for commercial parts?
Laser cutting uses a focused beam of light to melt through metal. It’s fast and precise - thanks to modern technology, it’s ideal for both sheet metal and thick plate cutting.

Waterjet cutting uses high-pressure water mixed with abrasive to erode material. It doesn’t generate heat, which is beneficial for materials sensitive to heat-affected zones, though the process is slower.

For most commercial parts, laser cutting is faster, more cost-effective, and capable of holding extremely tight tolerances.
Can I get formed metal parts powder coated before delivery?
Yes. Powder coating can be applied after cutting and forming, giving your parts a clean, durable finish. It’s great for commercial products where appearance and corrosion resistance matter. Just make sure your drawings note the coating requirements upfront so the fabrication process accounts for them during bending or assembly.
What kind of volume qualifies as a production run?
There’s no strict number, but in general, anything above 50–100 parts per order is considered a small production run. Larger quantities—hundreds to thousands—are what most shops call “full production.” At LCNW, we support both low- and high-volume production, and we can scale up as your product grows, without needing to change suppliers.
Do laser cut edges need deburring for commercial products?
It depends on the application. Our shop standard is to deburr all laser-cut parts. When needed, we can also apply an edge break using our automatic deburring machines - especially important for parts that will be handled or require improved adhesion during finishing.
Deburring is included as part of our post-cutting process. It’s a small detail that often adds meaningful value.
What certifications matter in commercial fabrication (ISO, AWS, etc.)?
ISO 9001 is a key certification that signals consistent quality management across processes. All of our welding procedures and operator qualification follow AWS standards, ensuring consistent weld integrity - especially in structural, safety-critical, and code-compliant builds. It’s one of the reasons we’re an approved fabricator for city of Los Angeles.

At LCNW, we follow rigorous internal QA practices and are always seeking ways to improve. We take pride in catching non-conformances before they ever leave the building.
