Precision metalworks built on American craftsmanship and engineering integrity
Erb Metalworks is a US-based fabrication shop dedicated to precision, durability, and the art of metal. We transform raw materials into functional structural pieces and intricate components for businesses across the nation.
About Us
Founded by Austin Erb, Erb Metalworks began as a small fabrication shop with a simple belief: that crafted steel should be synonymous with reliability. Austin started the company to fill a gap in the local market for vendors who prioritized engineering precision as much as they did the final aesthetic. Our company profile has been built on this foundation—a place where technical methods are constantly studied and material detail is never overlooked. We are fabricators, but we are also problem-solvers.
Today, we remain a family-oriented business located in Yakima, WA, serving clients from local contractors to national manufacturers. We believe that great structural pieces are the result of great teamwork and transparent communication. Our team takes pride in the fact that when you order steel parts from us, you aren’t just getting a product; you are getting decades of combined experience focused on your project’s success. We are Erb Metalworks, and we are committed to the integrity of American-made metalworks.
Areas of Our Assistance
Engineering and materials consulting
Before we cut a single piece of stock, we help you perfect the blueprint. We analyze your project to recommend the best alloys and coatings, focusing intently on material detail to ensure longevity and performance. This service ensures that your structural pieces are optimized for both weight-bearing and cost-efficiency before production even begins.
Manufacturing of fabricated steel components
This is the heart of our operation. We produce high-volume runs of precision fabricated steel parts for machinery, infrastructure, and commercial use. Utilizing the latest technical methods in welding and assembly, we ensure that every batch of steel parts meets strict tolerances and uniform quality standards.
Custom metal projects
Have a unique design? We thrive on custom metal fabrication. From artistic architectural features to specialized industrial equipment, our team works with you to turn concepts into reality. We provide detailed project examples from past collaborations to show how we solve complex design challenges with innovative crafted steel solutions.
Repair and restoration of structural elements
Extend the life of your existing equipment or structures. We specialize in repairing and reinforcing heavy-duty structural pieces, restoring them to original—or better—specifications. Our diagnostic approach relies on technical methods to identify weak points, followed by expert metalworks to rebuild and strengthen critical components.
Our Goal
Our primary goal at Erb Metalworks is to redefine the standard for fabricated steel in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. We aim to be more than just a supplier; we strive to be a collaborative partner in our clients’ successes. By maintaining an obsessive focus on material detail and investing in the latest technical methods, we ensure that every piece of crafted steel we ship enhances the safety and efficiency of our customers’ operations.
Long-term, our goal is to cultivate the next generation of skilled tradespeople. We believe the future of metalworks depends on passing down the knowledge required to produce complex structural pieces. We are dedicated to growing our facility in Yakima as a hub for innovation in custom metal fabrication, ensuring that American manufacturing remains strong and that our company profile continues to represent uncompromising quality.

Words of the Founder
Austin Erb:
“When I started Erb Metalworks, I wanted to build more than just a fabrication shop; I wanted to build a place where crafted steel was treated with the respect it deserves. In this industry, the difference between a structure that lasts fifty years and one that fails in five often comes down to the smallest material detail. Our philosophy has always been to slow down and get it right, whether we are working on massive structural pieces or small batches of intricate steel parts. We are engineers as much as we are artists, and every weld tells a story of that commitment.
I look at our company profile today and I see the reflection of a team that truly cares about the legacy of American manufacturing. We aren’t interested in being the biggest shop; we are interested in being the best. By constantly refining our technical methods and pushing the boundaries of what we can do with fabricated steel, we aim to provide solutions that our clients can’t find anywhere else. If you are looking for a partner who treats your project like their own, you’ve found your home here in Yakima.”
