A 45,000 sq ft plant that happens to make its own products too.
Megawall builds its own patented display systems from raw steel and aluminum, start to finish, in one Michigan building. That same capability is available to outside customers: single-part prototyping through large-scale production, cut, formed, welded, finished, assembled and shipped without the part ever leaving the site.
The whole chain
Eight operations. One building. No handoffs.
Most fabricators subcontract at least one stage — usually finishing. Every one of these happens in Comstock Park, which is the single biggest reason our lead times are predictable.
Design & engineering
In-house engineering turns a concept, a sketch or a competitor’s part into a drawing that can be cut.
Laser cutting
A 3000W fiber laser on a 5′×10′ shuttle bed cuts blanks up to 5/8″ steel.
Forming
66 and 90 ton press brakes, a shearer, a roll former and a punch press turn flat blanks into profiles.
Machining
A Bridgeport mill and two bandsaws handle the operations a brake cannot.
Welding
MIG, TIG and spot welding — the process picked for the material and the joint, not for convenience.
Finishing
Powder coating and clear coats applied in-house, which is why a colour match is a schedule decision.
Assembly
Multiple assembly stations build up finished units so they arrive ready, not as a pile of parts.
Packaging & shipping
Full packaging and shipping capability from the same building, across North America.
Capabilities
Four capabilities with enough to say to warrant their own page.
Machining, assembly, finishing, packaging and shipping are covered below rather than spun into separate pages — we would rather tell you what we actually run than pad the site out.
Laser Cutting
HK PS3015 fiber laser: 3000W on a 5′×10′ shuttle bed, cutting up to 5/8″ steel with smart-cut and quick-piercing control.

Press Brake Forming
JMT AD-R 2060 at 66 ton and 67″ wide, plus a 90 ton Cincinnati. Shearing, roll forming and punching alongside — every profile above was formed here.
Forming detailWelding
MIG, TIG and spot welding, chosen per material and joint rather than per whatever is already set up. Every Megawall panel, shelf and bracket on this site is a welded assembly.

Welding detailDesign & Engineering
In-house engineering from concept to production, including the prototype work that produced two patented display systems — both still made in this building.

Beyond cutting and forming
The stages most fabricators send out.
Machining & assembly
A Bridgeport mill, a Wilton bandsaw and a Doall V-36 vertical bandsaw cover the operations a brake cannot, and multiple assembly stations build parts up into finished units.
Finishing
Powder coating and clear coats are applied here. That is why Megawall can offer eleven standard steel finishes plus custom colour matching without a subcontractor’s schedule in the middle of yours.
Packaging & shipping
Full packaging and shipping capability from the same building, across North America. Fixtures ship knocked down to keep freight sensible on multi-store rollouts.
Prototype to production
One part, or a hundred thousand.
Megawall runs from single-part prototyping to large-scale production. In practice most contract relationships here start small — one part, to see whether the drawing is right and whether we are worth working with — and then scale.
Because engineering, cutting, forming, welding and finishing all sit in the same building, a change found on the prototype gets absorbed into the production run without renegotiating three subcontracts. That is the practical benefit of vertical integration, and it is why the plant can carry both a one-off bracket and a multi-store fixture programme in the same week.
Family-owned since the late 1980s, 25+ employees, average tenure 12.5 years — the person quoting your job is likely to still be here when you reorder.

- Sample production before committing to a run
- Small batch and full production
- Multi-location rollout programmes
In their words
What customers say about working with the plant.
The Megawall slatwall that adorns our office at Creative Studio Promotions is a focal point for all who enter. The unique texture of the slatwall creates a professional yet stylish element on which we can display our branded merchandise. This upscale treatment makes for a better impression – every time.
We have projects with very tight deadlines and MegaWall helps us meet the challenges and still maintain excellent quality.
