Production Fabrication, Assembly & Reverse Engineering — Built Like Detroit Means It

At Aluminum Supply Company (ASCO), manufacturing is where precision meets production.

We bridge the gap between prototype fabrication and full-scale manufacturing — giving architects, OEMs, and industrial clients a partner that can think like an engineer, build like a fabricator, and deliver like a manufacturer.

We’re not a job shop that “also builds parts.”

We’re a vertically integrated production partner with the systems, processes, and people to take engineered concepts through fabrication, finishing, and final assembly — all under one roof, right here in Detroit.

From concept to crate, every part we produce is built for performance, consistency, and repeatability.

Production Fabrication

When tolerances are tight and deadlines tighter, ASCO’s fabrication floor performs like a production line — not a custom shop.

We process material through digitally coordinated work cells for laser cutting, brake forming, shearing, and welding, supported by CAD-driven scheduling and traceable workflow documentation.

Results

Our production floor runs on the same discipline that built this city — efficient, accurate, and relentless.

Assembly & Kitting

ASCO’s assembly and kitting operations ensure that what leaves Detroit arrives installation-ready.

We build and package fabricated components to match your assembly flow — labeled, organized, and documented for lean jobsite or production deployment.

Kitting Services

We don’t ship parts — we ship solutions that install clean, fit right, and save time.

Reverse Engineering & Design Support

Not every job starts with a CAD file.

ASCO’s reverse engineering workflow allows us to reproduce legacy parts, custom fittings, or discontinued designs with modern precision.

Tools & Methods

Common Applications

Our design and estimation team collaborates directly with project engineers and purchasing agents to translate intent into manufacturable geometry.

We maintain revision control and documentation for repeatability and future production.

When the print doesn’t exist — or never did — we create it, build it, and make it better.

Process Integrity & Quality Control

We don’t just meet spec — we document it.

ASCO’s ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system governs every operation, from raw material intake to final shipment.

Quality Workflow

Audit Awareness

Our team has experience working with UL, FM, TUV, and CARB audit protocols — including documentation, labeling, and process verification.

We maintain consistent communication with certifying bodies and customers to ensure compliance at every stage of production.

Our paperwork is as tight as our tolerances.

Large-Scale Manufacturing

ASCO doesn’t flinch at size.

Our equipment, workflow, and crane-assisted handling allow us to fabricate, form, and assemble parts up to 12′ long and ½” thick, in production volumes.

Specialization

Advantages

We think in full sheets, long extrusions, and real deadlines.

Beyond the Build

We don’t disappear when the parts ship.

ASCO’s production team supports post-install feedback, revision updates, and continuous improvement for recurring jobs.

Our approach is built for long-term relationships — not one-off orders.
