WELDING COMPANY BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

ForgePoint Fabrication draws its name from "forge" for metalwork and "point" for precision. We operate in the industrial metalworking sector and launch in the United States in 2026, offering a hybrid welding and fabrication business that combines custom metal solutions with a standardized, pre-priced component catalog. Our shop uses advanced CNC equipment and welding technology run by AWS-certified professionals to deliver precision, strength, and reliability to construction, manufacturing, and agricultural clients.

We perform custom design, CNC cutting, welding, finishing, and assembly to deliver build-to-spec parts and a stocked catalog for fast-turn needs. What sets us apart is transparent pricing, predictable lead times, and a dual product model that reduces procurement friction for contractors and OEMs. In the short term we aim to reach positive cash flow within 12 months and secure repeat contracts with three regional contractors; long-term we plan multi-site expansion and a recurring revenue stream from catalog sales and service agreements.

Problem

Commercial and industrial projects in the United States face chronic delays and cost overruns when sourcing metal components and specialty fabrication. The market is fragmented: many small custom shops are slow, while mass manufacturers are inflexible, leaving contractors and plant managers without a dependable, integrated option. This gap causes schedule and budget risk, single-source concentration, and increased downtime for agricultural and manufacturing equipment.

The market lacks a reliable bridge between bespoke fabrication and scalable production, including pre-priced, predictable lead-time components and certified precision work. Starting in 2026, our U.S.-based welding and fabrication facility—staffed by AWS-certified professionals and equipped with advanced CNC and welding technology—will address this unmet need by offering both custom solutions and a standardized catalog with transparent pricing and predictable lead times.

Solution

Precision metalwork delivered end-to-end. We solve the gap between slow custom shops and inflexible manufacturers by offering a single, professionalized fabricator that handles on-site structural repairs, bespoke components, and repeat production. All work is engineered digitally with CAD/CAM and produced in a fully equipped facility or on-site, giving customers flexibility, price certainty, and standardized parts for routine needs.

One line: a tech-enabled fabricator that combines bespoke welding with scalable manufacturing for construction and manufacturing customers.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide superior metal solutions that empower American industry through precision, reliability, and innovation, delivering components that move the world forward. We bridge custom craftsmanship and manufacturing efficiency with a hybrid model that guarantees the highest standards of safety and quality and unmatched cost predictability. We exist to be the most trusted partner for commercial and industrial clients, driving durable, measurable value for employees, customers, and communities.
