If your company needs a conveniently located metal fabricator in the U.S. with the capacity to handle extremely large projects, SMT might be a perfect fit.

Doing business with a Virginia company is a great decision, for several reasons other than just our geographic location. Two of the largest railroads operate in Virginia, which provides stable and low operating costs. Corporate income tax has stayed at 6% since 1972, which keeps operational costs low and consistent. With one of the most educated workforces in the nation, we’re never short of talented workers or engineers. Finally, Virginia has the third largest state-maintained transportation network, which means we have the infrastructure to get your product on the road, rail, or sea quickly and efficiently.

Ridgeway, Virginia is a wonderful town located in Southwest Virginia. The rural landscape, surrounding farmland, and nearby mountains provide an endless source of beauty and enjoyment to everyone who lives here or visits. Aside from it’s beauty, this location is very advantageous for shipping all across the U.S. and overseas, but is specifically convenient for shipping to the Mid-West and East Coast. Cleveland, New York, Atlanta, and everywhere in-between are within a day’s drive of our location, putting us in one of the most central locations for manufacturers, the gas industry, mining operations, the food & beverage industry, the feed industry, and many others.

Rail systems and deep water ports provide easy access for shipping large fabricated steel equipment and parts. The weather is relatively mild in Virginia and our location is far enough inland to avoid most hurricanes, which means we’re not likely to experience shipping delays related to snow or weather. Overall, we consider ourselves very lucky to call beautiful Ridgeway, Virginia home.

Our teams set realistic deadlines at the outset of every project and meet those deadlines to ensure your equipment arrives on time and as quickly as possible. If your company needs large fabricated metal equipment, we urge you to consider a U.S. based fabricator. Shipping on the East Coast is measured in days, rather than the months that it might take for equipment to arrive from overseas.
