Searching for custom metal fabrication near Dubuque? Engineered Welding, Inc. builds custom weldments, precision sheet metal and fabricated steel components, and hydraulic reservoir tanks about 50 minutes southwest in Anamosa — an easy run down US-151. Since 2002, we’ve manufactured parts from customer drawings, CAD files, and samples for OEM and industrial customers across eastern Iowa, from prototypes to full production quantities.
Dubuque has one of the deepest manufacturing traditions in the state — heavy equipment, industrial machinery, and the supplier network that supports them. Those companies expect fabrication partners who can hold tolerances, meet delivery dates, and weld to certified standards. That’s the work we do every day.

Contract Metal Fabrication & OEM Partnership
For Dubuque OEMs running repeat parts, robotic MIG welding delivers identical welds part after part — brackets, frames, guards, and assemblies at production volume. As a Midwest fabrication supplier, we’re a practical alternative to overseas sourcing: USA-made parts, short freight lanes, easy communication, and no ocean-container lead times when your line can’t wait.
One-Offs, Prototypes & Repairs
Not everything is a production run. We build single custom parts, prototype new designs, and handle repair and modification welding on existing equipment.
