Welding Fabrication Industry

Welding fabrication has been around since the 18th century back when blacksmiths used it to join iron and steel. Welding technology became more advanced and increased in popularity after the 20th century when welding could be used for numerous applications in World War I and II. As a result, welding fabrication has become a commodity in the metal manufacturing world. Some of the types of welding fabrication include (VIP provides the bolded processes in-house):

There are other forms of metal fabrication that can achieve a similar effect without having to perform welding. Some of these processes or techniques include riveting, hardware assembly, and gluing.
