Anchor Fabrication sits down with Manufacturing Today to discuss its stellar growth strategy
It ’ s been around a year since Manufacturing Today last sat down with Anchor Fabrication ( Anchor ), one of the largest contract metal manufacturers and fabricators in the US . With a growing footprint that ’ s currently based between Fort Worth , Mississippi , Tennessee , and Kansas , it ’ s fair to say that the organization ’ s expertise extends beyond its mainstay of production , and well into the realm of growth management . We ’ re catching up with Greg Frye , Anchor Partners COO and Anchor Fabrication ’ s CEO , to hear all about how the business has fared over the last 12 months .
“ The biggest development that 2022 brought us was the significant continued growth we experienced across all of Anchor ’ s fabrication businesses ,” Greg opens . “ From a demand perspective , each of our locations has seen an increase of between ten and 30 percent .
“ We have just completed our fourth acquisition in Wichita , KS , which is going to be a huge benefit to our operations . See , although our three current businesses are all based in fabrication , they have different areas of expertise .
“ Fort Worth works with our big , heavy gauge and large welded assemblies clientele , serving trailer and military producers ,” he explains . “ Whereas Mississippi is more focused on our mid-gauge customers such as TK Elevators and FedEx – we do repairs and produce their dollies , baggage carts , and roller decks . Finally , there ’ s Tennessee , which specializes more so in light gauge aluminum
