Who We Are
Steel Tech Metal Fabrications is a semi-custom metal fabrication business providing components to the Emergency Vehicle, Railroad, AEC, Grating, and Commercial Vehicle markets. We are a Waldenwood Group Company, based in Belmont, NC.
Our core brand promise — Safety & Security Is Our Main Focus — is not marketing language. It reflects the reality of the industries we serve. Emergency responders depend on the steps and ladders we fabricate. Railroad workers walk on the structural walkways we build. Construction workers rely on the safety railings we install. That responsibility shapes every decision we make in the shop.
We specialize in forming, welding, finishing, and polishing products from high grades of stainless steel and aluminum. Our capabilities span the full fabrication lifecycle — from material selection and precision forming through welding, surface finishing, and final inspection.
Steel Tech is structured to grow each of its industry divisions independently. Each market — Emergency Vehicles, Railroad, AEC, Grating, and Commercial Vehicles — operates as a distinct business focus, with the potential to become standalone companies as each division grows.

The Steel Tech Promise
Our Commitment
The industries we serve — emergency services, railroad, and construction — have one thing in common: the people who use our fabricated parts depend on them to perform safely in demanding, high-stakes environments.
High-grade stainless steel and aluminum specified for the application — not the cheapest option.
Full-penetration welds where required. We don't cut corners on structural integrity.
Parts that don't fit correctly aren't safe. We fabricate to tight tolerances every time.
Surface finishing that protects the material and ensures long service life in the field.
