GMF-Gloggner Metal Fabricators

A bad weld is about as effective as hot glue.

Cover your bases by working with a fabrication shop like Gloggner. Our skilled welders perform stick welding, MIG welding, and TIG welding for a sturdy, reliable joint.

We take our service a step further by assessing each design to determine the optimal welding technique. We use a decision tree selection process to examine variables like material type, material thickness, application requirements, and desired weld characteristics.

At Gloggner, we view ourselves as a resource for engineers.

Engineers are experts in physics, safety strategies, and material sciences. Metal fabrication isn’t their expertise, and that’s where we can add value to our relationship.

That’s why it’s so important that engineers and fabricators work together.

No one understands GMF's process better than us—and we’re good at finding ways to optimize it for every customer.

Our quoting process links labor and costs. The time required to manufacture a part is directly proportional to its cost.

More often than not, we can cut costs by making small changes following DFM principles.

Common examples of these changes include:

🔹 Substituting a non-standard tube for a standard size
🔹 Choosing a more readily available material that still fits the requirements
🔹 Modifying a feature so it can be machined using standard instead of custom tooling

All of these changes decrease costs, lead times, and headaches by simplifying manufacturing.

GMF's waterjet cutting services are some of the best around.

Our OMAX 60120 Precision JetMachining Center uses a highly pressurized stream of water to cut materials like mild steel in thicknesses up to 9.5”.

Before we acquired our waterjet, we had to outsource custom industrial jobs that required cutting materials thicker than 0.75”. Now, we can handle these jobs right here in our shop.

Here's a list of our other top-tier capabilities:

We don't just want you as a customer, we want you as a client. 🌟

At Gloggner, we’re not just fabricators—we’re collaborators.

Many shops build parts to print and call it a day, never questioning if there is a better way to do something. But we don’t operate like that. If we identify an opportunity to modify your design for optimized manufacturing, we’ll let you know.

We partner with our customers to make their parts the best they can be, and that’s just one of the reasons they keep coming back year after year.

The saying “two heads work better than one” definitely applies to engineers and fabricators. Engineering expertise is essential to ensuring parts function properly, and fabrication knowledge is needed to make informed, cost-effective choices.

Collaboration between engineers and fabricators during the prototype-to-production process is crucial to achieving a design that meets customer needs without breaking the bank.

Why is working at Gloggner so great?

There are a lot of reasons, but one of them is paid time off!

Paid time off enables a better work/life balance for each employee. We’ve been proud to add PTO to our employee compensation packages.

Gloggner employees know they can take this time to vacation with their families without sacrificing paid time.

To further encourage team members to take time for themselves, we give everyone their birthday as a paid day off. Additionally, two paid bereavement days are available.

At Gloggner Metal Fabricators, we’re always thinking about how to minimize fabricating costs for our customers.

Using Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles, our experienced fabricators consider ways to optimize part designs for manufacturing. Something as simple as substituting a different material or reducing a radius by 1/16” can sometimes cut costs in half.

To some metal fabrication shops, reducing costs that much might seem like bad business sense. But not to GMF.

We’re dedicated to earning trust—not maximizing profits.
