At Argo Products, based in St. Louis, Missouri, we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality fabrication services to industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to construction and consumer goods. But beyond our own expertise, being located in St. Louis provides unique advantages that make working with us an even greater value.

Comprehensive Metal Fabrication Services in St. Louis

At Argo Products, we know that no two projects are alike. That’s why we offer a full spectrum of fabrication services under one roof, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and quality from start to finish.

Cutting and Shaping

Our shop is equipped with advanced machinery to cut, shape, and prepare metals for any application. Services include:

• Laser cutting, plasma cutting, and waterjet cutting for precision and versatility.
• Shearing and sawing for bar stock, plate, and structural materials.
• Punching and stamping for detailed sheet metal work.
• Bending and rolling to form cylinders, angles, and complex curves.
• CNC machining for precision drilling, milling, and turning.

Welding and Joining

From small components to heavy structures, our certified welders specialize in:

• MIG, TIG, and Stick welding.
• Spot welding for sheet metal assemblies.
• Brazing, soldering, and other joining techniques.
• Riveting and fastening methods for specialized needs.

Fabrication and Assembly

We don’t just cut and weld—we build complete, ready-to-use parts and assemblies. Our team works on:

• Custom frames, housings, and enclosures.
• Sheet metal products such as cabinets, ductwork, and industrial panels.
• Structural fabrication for support beams, platforms, and frameworks.
• Prototyping and custom builds tailored to unique specifications.

Finishing and Surface Treatment

The job isn’t complete until the part looks and performs exactly as intended. We provide:

• Grinding, sanding, and polishing for smooth, finished surfaces.
• Powder coating and painting for durability and aesthetics.
• Plating, galvanizing, and anodizing for corrosion resistance.
• Heat treatment to improve strength and toughness.

Design and Engineering Support

Many clients come to us with an idea, not a finished drawing. Our engineering support includes:

• CAD design services for detailed, production-ready models.
• Reverse engineering for reproducing or improving existing parts.
• Prototyping to validate designs before scaling production.

Installation and Repair

We also offer on-site welding, repair, and retrofitting to keep your equipment and structures working as intended.

The St. Louis Advantage

While our capabilities speak for themselves, our location gives us—and our customers—an edge that many fabrication shops simply can’t offer.

1. A Central Logistics Hub

St. Louis sits at the crossroads of America. With access to I-70, I-44, I-55, major rail lines, and the Mississippi River, moving materials and finished products is faster and more cost-effective than in many other regions. For customers across the Midwest and beyond, this translates to shorter lead times and reduced shipping expenses.

2. An Industrial Legacy

St. Louis has always been a manufacturing city. From aerospace and automotive to agricultural equipment and consumer products, the region is rich with industries that rely on metal fabrication. This industrial base means local shops like Argo Products have experience across diverse sectors, making us adaptable problem-solvers.

3. Skilled Workforce

The St. Louis area invests in trade schools, unions, and apprenticeship programs that prepare a highly skilled workforce. Our welders, machinists, and fabricators bring both technical expertise and hands-on craftsmanship to every project. At Argo Products, our team is trained, certified, and committed to quality.

4. Cost-Effective Operations

Compared to coastal cities, St. Louis offers lower labor and overhead costs, which allows us to deliver competitive pricing without cutting corners. Customers get the same precision and reliability as they would from larger national firms, but with better value and personal service.

5. Local Material Sourcing

Being located in the Midwest—a region known for steel and aluminum production—gives us access to raw materials quickly and affordably. This not only reduces costs but also ensures that supply chain disruptions are less likely to delay your project.

6. Collaborative Partnerships

One of the best parts about working with a local shop like Argo Products is the ability to collaborate face-to-face. Customers can visit our facility, review prototypes in person, and work directly with our engineers and technicians. This hands-on approach builds trust, speeds up problem-solving, and ensures every project meets your exact specifications.

7. Flexibility for Every Project

Whether you need a one-off prototype, a short production run, or a large-scale manufacturing project, our St. Louis location allows us to be flexible and responsive. We work with both major corporations and small businesses, delivering the same level of precision and service to every customer.
