Wisconsin facility is equipped with advanced tools like Mitsubishi lasers, CNC mills, press brakes, and 3D scanners, allowing us to handle everything from laser cutting and waterjet processing to tube bending, machining, and robotic welding. With a standard 4-week turnaround—half the industry norm—and expedited options available, we ensure your projects move from concept to completion without delay.
Founded in 2002 by Navy veteran Duane Swift, TMS combines over 30 years of expertise with modern fabrication technology to serve industries ranging from trade show exhibits to OEM components, retail fixtures, and commercial interiors. With a 100% on-time delivery record and a proven ability to manage complex, custom builds, TMS is more than a metal shop—we’re a trusted partner for businesses that demand quality, innovation, and performance.
