Fabricated Metals LLC was established in July 1955 as a steel fabrication job shop. In the early 1960's, business expanded to include the manufacturing of mast arms, brackets and steel area lighting poles. In April 1989, Fabricated Metals formed a new division, Utility Metals, in a new 40,000 sq. ft. facility and turned over outdoor lighting products to the division.

In early 1995, Utility Metals was expanded to 75,000 square feet. Since then, additional new equipment has been installed, including paint booths, press brakes, robot welders, pipe benders, spot welders, and a powder coat paint system including a shot blaster. See our facility list for a comprehensive list of our facilities and equipment.

We offer an extensive line of products for all of your outdoor lighting applications. We are your one source for lighting poles, brackets, and expert custom fabrication. We are your quick-ship solution with over 30,000 mast arms, poles, and brackets in stock. With competitive pricing and a staff dedicated to complete customer satisfaction, you'll soon discover the important role quality people play in producing quality products.
