##### OUR STORY
## Rooted in Passion. Built on Innovation.
Ambitious and always tinkering with wood and metal, Paul Ezra launched his own company in his 20s. In the late 1960s, he and his wife Mary Lou opened a small fabrication shop focused on designing and producing specialty parts for antique vehicles. Their vision and determination laid the foundation for something bigger.
Today, Metal Fab Engineering stands as one of Northern Indiana’s most trusted manufacturing success stories. Now in its third generation of family ownership, we produce hundreds of thousands of parts annually and serve customers across a wide range of industries. What hasn’t changed? Our commitment to quality, innovation, and doing right by our people and partners.
