Metal Skills
Who we are:
Based in Middleton, Wisconsin, and serving the greater Madison area we are a precision fabrication shop built on decades of experience, deep engineering insight, and respect for the craft. While Metal Skills is a new name, the team has been delivering consistent, high-quality results for more than 20 years.
Founded by Nathan Brown, who built and led the sheet metal division at Middleton Machining, Metal Skills represents a new chapter rooted in experience. Nate now leads the business alongside the same trusted team, applying the knowledge, systems, and standards developed over decades of real-world fabrication work.
This is not high-volume faceless production.
This is masterful, high-precision fabrication for complex builds - where attention to detail, problem-solving, and partnership matter as much as the finished part.
High Precision. Tight Tolerance. No Compromise.
Metal Skills
Metal Skills partners with customers to deliver precision sheet metal fabrication and contract manufacturing while making the process efficient, cost-conscious, and easy to manage. Our work is designed to reduce friction -whether that’s in manufacturing, assembly, scheduling, or total cost.
