When it comes to fabricating with stainless steel, not all welding shops are created equal. Stainless is durable, corrosion-resistant, and food-safe—but only if it’s handled and welded correctly. Whether you’re a facility manager needing food-grade duct, a procurement lead sourcing enclosures, or a contractor designing custom carts or exhaust systems, choosing the right welding shop is critical.
So how do you pick the right one? Here’s what to look for:
1. Proven Experience with Stainless Steel
Look for shops that regularly weld stainless—especially 304 or 316 grades. Stainless is notoriously less forgiving than mild steel. If your application involves sanitary or food-safe environments, you’ll want TIG welds that are clean, consistent, and contamination-free.
🛠️ Madon Sheet Metal specializes in TIG and MIG welding of stainless steel for both structural and food-grade applications. We know the right techniques to avoid warping, discoloration, and contamination.
2. Certified Welders and Quality Assurance
Welding stainless right isn’t just about skill—it’s about certification. You want to work with a shop whose welders are trained and certified to meet industry codes like SMACNA, AWS, and food-grade fabrication guidelines.
At Madon, our welders are certified, union-trained, and take quality seriously. Every weld reflects the high standards of a Yellow Label union shop.
3. Facility-Ready Customization
Stainless jobs are rarely one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s custom ductwork, carts, mixing tables, or blast gates, you want a shop that collaborates with you to get it right.
Madon offers in-house design support and 3D modeling so you can preview your solution before it hits production. We welcome unique, one-off jobs that other shops shy away from.
4. Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
Time is money. You need a partner who can deliver quality work on deadline.
We’re known for fast turnaround times—even on fully custom projects. Our stainless duct, curb adapters, and carts ship in days, not weeks.
5. Clear Communication & Reliable Quotes
A good welding shop should be a partner, not a mystery. That means quick quote responses, transparent lead times, and people you can actually talk to.
Call us and you’ll talk to someone who understands the work—not just a sales rep. Our team communicates clearly from quote to delivery.
