Sustainability Initiatives
Even has a small business, our company makes it a priority to engage in the new era of sustainable manufacturing. To show our commitment to creating a more sustainable future, Aaron’s Fabrication annually travels across the country to the Electric Utility Industry Sustainable supply chain conference to learn how we can effectively become a leader in the new era of sustainable manufacturing.
After going to multiple events and speaking with industry leaders about the future of sustainable manufacturing, we decided to go back to the drawing board and review our current operations and see what we as a small company could do to contribute to the greater picture. Some of our contributions include but not limited to switching our brand new manufacturing facility to all LED lighting system, eliminated excessive wasteful packaging, and converted our welding machines to 480.

THE HISTORY OF AARONS FABRICATION
OUR OLD BUILDING
Here is where it all got started for Aaron’s Fabrication. We started by leasing 2,000 square feet of a building from Utica Steel in Chesterfield Michigan. As time went on we expanded more and more to eventually take the whole 6,000 square ft. Through our founder’s persistence, determination, and ultra-focus, we were able to continue expanding our operation year after year and even diversified into new markets.
OUR NEW BUILDING
Due to our high customer demand, in 2017 we purchased a new 16,000 square ft manufacturing facility. Our facility features a climate controlled quality room, 15,000 amps of power, and is kept up to the highest standards.
