The facility is equipped to handle everything from small-batch orders to full-scale production runs, serving diverse industries including automotive, oil and gas, medical devices, recreation and outdoor equipment, fitness equipment and specialized tubing and sheet metal fabricators.

The acquisition strengthens MCA's position in the manufacturing sector, adding critical metal fabrication capabilities to complement existing operations and support the company's growth strategy across multiple industrial segments.
