FSF started operations in late 2006 with modern equipment and veteran fabricators who know how to get the most from it. Set up to serve the large base of manufacturers in Illinois and Missouri, we bring a unique perspective to our contract fabricator role.  Owner and President Scott Dilley has been on both sides of the outsourcing transaction. "Having managed fab shops, I see how important accuracy, teamwork and communication are.  A contract fab shop eats its mistakes. Can't survive on that diet, so processes at FSF are designed to avoid errors."   I've also worked for the OEM, so I was the customer to fab shops. I know top quality and meeting commitments are what OEMs expect. FSF was designed around exceeding OEM expectations for both"  To meet a broader array of customer needs, we partner with select area machining shops to add welding, milling, grinding and drilling to our capabilities. It's easy – place one order with FSF, include any of those services too.
