Cost

Low tooling cost with USMCA advantage

Sheet metal cutting and bending carry low tooling cost compared with casting or forging, making sheet metal fabrication accessible for short and medium runs. Fabricated parts from Mexico that meet USMCA rules of origin ship duty-free, and the Section 232 tariff structure favors Mexico-sourced production. Nearshoring the work to Monterrey keeps the supply chain inside North America, and we quote on landed cost with freight and duties in the number before you see it.

  • Low tooling cost for cut and bend programs
  • USMCA duty-free shipping on qualifying parts
  • Section 232 tariff advantage over Asia-source programs
  • No offshore quote desk between you and the production line
Fit

  3. 03

    Process Planning and Tooling Setup

    We define cutting paths, bending programs, welding sequences, and any required tooling, then prove the setup before any production release.

  4. 04

    Fabrication and Production

    Metal sheets are cut, formed, welded, and assembled using CNC-controlled equipment, with in-process checks to hold consistent quality across the run.

  5. 05

    Finishing, Inspection, and Delivery

    Components receive the specified cosmetic and protective finish, then undergo dimensional, weld, and surface inspection. We coordinate cross-border freight under USMCA to your dock with a Certificate of Conformance.

Frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question? Request a quote and our engineering team will answer it.

What is sheet metal fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication takes flat metal sheets and forms them into finished parts through cutting, bending, welding, and finishing. The right combination of processes depends on the part geometry, material, and production volume.

Do parts ship duty-free from Mexico under USMCA?

Fabricated parts that meet USMCA rules of origin ship duty-free into the United States. We confirm qualification at the quote stage and manage the certificates of origin as importer of record.

What materials can you fabricate?

We work with aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, cold rolled steel, pre-plated steel, brass, and copper alloys. Our engineering team confirms the best material for your application at the feasibility review.

What cutting methods do you use?

We use fiber laser cutting for high-precision profiles and clean edges, plasma cutting for thick sections where laser is less efficient, CNC turret punching for repetitive hole patterns, and stamping for high-volume identical parts.

What finishes are available?

Standard options include powder coating, painting, anodizing for aluminum, galvanizing, electroplating, passivation for stainless steel, polishing, bead blasting, and mill finish. The right finish depends on your environmental and appearance requirements.

What are your standard lead times?

Standard production lead time is 4 to 8 weeks, with tooling and first-article timing confirmed at the quote stage. Mexico's proximity to the border shortens transit versus Asia-source programs. Rush programs can be reviewed case by case.

Why fabricate sheet metal in Mexico?

Nearshoring sheet metal fabrication to Mexico keeps the supply chain inside North America, qualifies most parts for USMCA duty-free treatment, and puts a fabricator within truck range of the U.S. border. Our facilities in Monterrey make plant tours practical and keep one U.S. point of contact between you and the shop floor.

How fast is shipping from Mexico to the U.S.?

Truck transit from our Monterrey facilities to most U.S. destinations runs 2 to 4 days, far shorter than the multi-week ocean transit from Asia. We manage cross-border freight and customs clearance so fabricated parts move to your dock without a gap.

How do customs and USMCA work for Mexico parts?

We manage customs clearance on the Mexico-to-U.S. crossing and provide USMCA certificates of origin where your part qualifies for duty-free treatment. Freight and any remaining duties are quoted up front so there are no invoice surprises.

How does Mexico compare to China for sheet metal fabrication?

Mexico offers shorter lead times, USMCA duty-free entry on qualifying parts, and same or adjacent time zone communication. Parts ship by truck from Monterrey through the Laredo, TX port of entry instead of multi-week ocean freight. Redstone runs fabrication in both Mexico and China and can recommend the better fit for your program at the quote stage.

What quality documentation ships with each order?

Production runs to ISO 9001 with dimensional inspection, weld testing, and material traceability on every batch. Inspection reports and a Certificate of Conformance ship with each order, and material composition can be verified by mass spectrometer where the specification requires it.
