Contract Manufacturing
One accountable U.S. manufacturing floor. Not a broker.
FWM helps OEMs reduce supplier handoffs by coordinating cutting, CNC machining, forming, welding, assembly, inspection, documentation, packaging, and shipment from one Hudson, New Hampshire manufacturing floor.
Best suited for recurring production, complex aluminum weldments, and OEM programs requiring documentation, traceability, and direct communication.

Best-Fit Programs
Best-fit programs for FWM
FWM is best suited for recurring OEM programs where aluminum fabrication, welding, machining, assembly, documentation, packaging, and communication matter.
- Recurring aluminum and stainless assemblies
- Welded aluminum structures
- Machined weldments
- Extrusion cutting, machining, welding, and assembly
- Industrial frames, skids, enclosures, racks, fixtures, carts, and platforms
- OEMs reshoring production to the U.S.
- Batch production and repeat builds
- Products requiring assembly, packaging, kitting, and shipment
- Programs where inspection, documentation, and communication matter
- Customers reducing supplier handoffs
Program Fit
FWM is usually not the best fit for:
- One-off commodity brackets
- Lowest-bid sheet metal with no value-add
- Simple cut-to-length with no production path
- Prototype-only work with no path to recurring production
- Field installation
- Structural steel erection
- Projects requiring certifications or code stamps FWM does not currently hold
- Work where price is the only decision factor
From Drawing to Shipped Product
One accountable path from your drawings to a shipped product
Replacing multiple supplier handoffs with one accountable path helps keep drawings, routing, inspection, documentation, packaging, and shipment connected to the job.
Digital production tracking runs from PO receipt through final ship, with every step, inspection checkpoint, and documentation requirement attached to the job. Learn about FWM's production software.
