Assembly Services

For export clients in metal fabrication, a true one-stop solution is often the deciding factor. We handle full assembly in-house, from sub-component fit-up to final finished product. If your assembly includes rubber parts, plastic inserts, shafts, or other purchased accessories, we manage the sourcing and run complete inspections before shipment. You can count on us to deliver against your contract order.

One Project, One Coordinated Review

Many parts cross multiple processes. A stamped or laser-cut blank may need secondary machining; a bent sheet metal part often goes through welding, coating, and assembly; a formed tube may require cut features and fixtures. Balford reviews the full deliverable so datums, tolerances, finish, and inspection stay consistent across every process handoff.

For a fast, accurate quote, send the latest 2D drawing and 3D model, material spec, prototype and production quantities, finish requirements, critical characteristics, and assembly context. Our team will map the proposed manufacturing route and flag anything that needs confirmation before we cut metal.
