What Contract Manufacturers Specialize in Automotive Metal Components?

Contract manufacturers that specialize in automotive metal components are typically full-service metal manufacturers that can support design, fabrication, finishing, assembly and shipping. PBZ Manufacturing is your trusted contract manufacturer for truck and trailer metal components, supporting multiple stages of the production process for automotive applications.

Engineering and Design 

Our team uses SolidWorks to turn 2D and 3D CAD designs into finished products. We develop new designs and check for any flaws or material issues before fabrication starts. Our contract manufacturing for custom trailer fabrication can include simulation or stress analysis, as needed, to evaluate design performance under different conditions. 

Fabrication

We offer metal fabrication for trailer manufacturers, specializing in 2D flat and 3D tube laser cutting, press brake forming and MIG or TIG welding needs. Our truck body metal fabrication services meet your parts’ dimensions and complex requirements. We maintain tight-tolerance cuts for automotive-grade components like brackets, frame parts and fenders. Choose us for truck and trailer component manufacturing that focuses on efficiency and precision. 

Finishing 

Applying a powder-coated finish adds extra protection to your automotive metal components. We offer commercial and industrial powder coating and deburring that help protect components from corrosion and wear in demanding on-road conditions. Our multiple automated coating lines and batch systems support efficient project timelines, helping you move your product closer to market.

Assembly and Shipping 

Work with one manufacturing partner from design and fabrication through transportation and delivery. Our comprehensive logistics services help reduce the need to coordinate with a separate shipping vendor. Streamline the timeline while maintaining quality control throughout the process.

Our Process

Our truck and trailer metal fabrication involves manufacturing metal pieces so they conform to specific shapes. These components can then be used to manufacture larger parts and structures, such as trucks and trailers. Metal fabricators use numerous processes like bending, pressing, rolling, welding and finishing to manipulate the material. Below are the three primary stages of metal fabrication.

Based on your specifications, we use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design 2D and 3D part prototypes. Using CAD software lets us detect flaws or errors early and address them at this step — rather than having issues develop later in the process. We can also experiment with different materials to see what will work best to create a functional and stable product. 

During fabrication, we cut and shape the part per the specifications established during planning and design. Our team carefully considers the product’s requirements during fabrication, ensuring accurate material, size, shape and detailing. We use various equipment and techniques to form different shapes and dimensions, such as:

After fabrication, the product is ready for assembly and finishing. We typically use these standard finishing processes:

  • Deburring: Deburring removes minor surface imperfections from the metal. It helps smooth rough edges and eliminate excess material.
  • Powder coating: A thick, durable powder coating helps strengthen the metal’s surface and prevent damage and corrosion. It also creates a more attractive appearance. We offer powder coating in a wide array of colors.

Types of Truck and Trailer Projects We Handle

PBZ Manufacturing can work with you to design and manufacture durable metal vehicle parts. Here are some examples of projects we can assist you with:

  • Bumper: An aluminum front bumper is durable and lightweight, providing additional protection without the extra weight.
  • Fender: Aluminum and stainless steel are popular solutions for truck and trailer fenders. An aluminum fender offers a lightweight design, reducing stress on the engine and tires and boosting fuel efficiency. It’s also highly rust- and corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel is heavy and incredibly resistant to warping and denting. It’s easily weldable, making the fender easy to repair if needed.
