Eckel Custom Fabrication provides custom steel fabrication and AWS-certified welding for commercial and industrial customers. Our work ranges from sanitary, food-grade systems to structural steel installations, all built to meet performance, safety, and code requirements.

Every project is handled directly by an experienced fabricator, not passed through layers of sales or management. That means clearer communication, realistic timelines, and work that stays aligned with your budget and technical needs. Based in Southeastern Indiana, we proudly serve SE Indiana, Cincinnati, the Greater Ohio River Valley, and Northern Kentucky, and also ship nationwide when needed.

Custom Stainless Fabrication

Stainless Steel Fabrication

Eckel Custom Fabrication produces custom stainless steel components for commercial and industrial applications. Work is completed based on customer drawings, sketches, replacement needs, or functional requirements where off-the-shelf components are not suitable.

Projects range from one-off parts to larger fabricated assemblies. Common applications include ladders, platforms, tables, shelving systems, machine guards, brackets, funnels, carts, and custom chutes.

All stainless steel fabrication is TIG welded to achieve clean, consistent welds suitable for food-grade, sanitary, or architectural applications. Components are fabricated to order with attention to fit, finish, and durability for demanding environments.

On-Site Welding & Field Repairs

Eckel Custom Fabrication provides mobile, on-site welding services in Southeastern Indiana, Cincinnati, the Greater Ohio River Valley, and Northern Kentucky. Work includes field repairs and installations in active environments such as commercial kitchens, production floors, and industrial sites. Projects are completed with consideration for safety, access limitations, and ongoing operations.

Fabrication Capabilities

Fabrication services include custom ladders, platforms, handrails, brackets, frames, and equipment modifications. Work is performed to customer specifications or provided drawings, with fabrication completed either in the shop or on-site as required by the project.

Certified Welding Processes

All welding is performed by AWS-certified welders using appropriate processes based on material and application. Capabilities include TIG (GTAW), MIG (GMAW), Stick (SMAW), and Flux-Core (FCAW) welding. Work is completed in accordance with applicable codes and specifications, with attention to fit, finish, and structural integrity.
