CH Industries provides custom sheet metal fabrication services in Chicago for a wide range of project types, supporting customers from early-stage prototype development through full production manufacturing. With more than 25 years of experience producing precision sheet metal components, we work with businesses that require custom sheet metal parts built to specific drawings, specifications, and performance requirements rather than off-the-shelf solutions.
Whether a customer needs custom metal fabrication for a one-time prototype, short-run production, or ongoing manufacturing support, CH Industries offers high-quality metal fabrication capabilities and production flexibility to help move projects from concept to completion. We offer small batch manufacturing, sheet metal prototyping, custom machined parts, fabrication services for OEMs, custom industrial components, and welding and assembly services.
Our full-service metal fabrication is commonly used by manufacturers, product developers, engineers, purchasing teams, and companies seeking a reliable fabrication partner. Many customers turn to CH Industries for support during new product development, to supplement internal manufacturing capacity, or to establish a dependable source for recurring production work.
Custom sheet metal fabrication is used to create a variety of specialized components, including retail fixtures, signage structures, data center-related components, and other precision parts used in specialty manufacturing applications. As every project has unique requirements, CH Industries is equipped for custom sheet metal parts manufacturing that produces non-standard parts that are tailored to the customer’s design and intended application. As a Chicago sheet metal fabrication company, we are dedicated sheet metal fabricators skilled in custom metal fabrication and production manufacturing services.
Across industries and use cases, successful sheet metal fabrication depends on multiple processes working together within a complete manufacturing workflow. We offer integrated metal fabrication services, such as laser cutting, turret punching, metal bending, metal welding, spot welding, hardware installation, and riveting and forming. Each contribute to the production of accurate, functional components and assemblies.
Rather than serving as standalone offerings, these capabilities are integrated to transform raw material into finished metal parts and metal components that meet customer specifications. This comprehensive approach allows CH Industries to support a broad range of metal fabrication services, while maintaining the quality, consistency, and responsiveness required for both prototype and production projects.
We make sure your specs are met 100%.
All parts checked and rechecked.
Ironclad delivery, fast response, and
going the extra mile.
We are constantly working to improve our understanding of our customers and how we can make their products better.
Laser cutting produces flat parts, profiles, and component blanks from sheet metal with high precision. It’s usually the first step in the workflow, creating accurately shaped pieces that move on to punching, bending, welding, and assembly.
Bending and forming reshape flat metal into three-dimensional parts using controlled force, without removing material. Bending is one specific forming operation; forming covers a broader range of shaping techniques. Together they produce everything from simple brackets and enclosures to complex automotive and aerospace components.
Turret punching creates holes, cutouts, slots, and similar features in sheet metal, and is especially efficient for repeating hole patterns. It follows material preparation and precedes forming, producing flat components ready for bending, welding, and hardware installation.
Welding permanently joins separate metal components into a single assembly, after cutting, punching, and forming have established part geometry. Spot welding does the same at specific points, using localized heat and pressure to bond overlapping parts into durable finished assemblies.
CNC milling and turning remove material from a workpiece to produce parts with tight tolerances, complex geometries, and fine surface finishes. The difference is what spins: milling rotates the cutting tool against the workpiece, while turning rotates the workpiece against a stationary tool.
Hardware installation and riveting turn formed parts into finished assemblies. Fasteners, standoffs, and studs are installed after forming, and rivets are set where a permanent joint is needed without welding, which is useful for dissimilar materials or parts that can’t be welded.
Engineering bridges product design and production. Before anything is cut, engineers evaluate materials, tolerances, forming methods, and assembly requirements to confirm a part can be built as intended — and to optimize it for cost, quality, and lead time.
Wire EDM cuts hardened metal with extreme precision using an electrically charged wire. It builds the tooling behind the parts — stamping dies, punches, die inserts, form tools, and fixtures — rather than cutting finished components directly.
Getting started is simple. To request a quote, submit your project drawings, specifications, and any relevant requirements so the CH Industries team can review the scope of work. Whether you need a prototype, a short production run, or ongoing manufacturing support, providing detailed project information helps ensure an accurate evaluation and allows the team to determine the fabrication processes best suited to your needs.
When you submit a quote request, you can expect a straightforward and responsive process focused on understanding your project requirements. Quotes are developed based on factors such as part specifications, fabrication requirements, quantities, and overall project scope.
CH Industries works with a wide range of fabrication and manufacturing projects and is committed to providing the service, quality, and turnaround companies look for in a long-term fabrication partner. Contact the team today to discuss your project and take the next step toward bringing your components into production.
