Maple Ridge, opened 2002

The main shop, and the address a quote comes from. Bending, cutting, machining, fabrication and finishing, on River Road since 2002.
#2 - 23492 River Road
Maple Ridge, BC V2W 1B7
Eleven processes under one roof, so a part does not leave the building to be finished.
A contract fabricator and bender with two shops in British Columbia. Mandrel tube bending, roll bending, hi-def plasma, machining, fabrication and powder coating are all done in house, which is the company’s own description of what makes the shop different.

The rack at Maple Ridge. Material on the floor is the difference between a start date and a quote.
02
Why the rack is the answer
Most of what decides a lead time in a fabrication job is not machine time. It is whether the material and the tooling are already there.
- Material held
- Thousandsof pounds of metal in stock
- Bending dies held
- Hundredsin the rack, not ordered per job
Both figures are the shop’s own. They are the reason a single part can be quoted and started rather than scheduled behind a material order.

Two shops
One standard, in two places.

Pacific Exco
A large-scale shop that has been working since 1969. Built for the kind of job that needs the floor and the crane rather than the bench.

“It’s been a pleasure working with Andrew and the Pacific family over the years. I wish all my vendors were as easy to deal with; they are very responsive and the finished product is always excellent.”

A PDF or a model file, the material, the quantity and the finish. That is enough for a shop to price a job or to say plainly that it is not the right shop for it.
