Reiter’s Custom Welding, Inc, a well-established provider of steel fabrication, metal processing, and contract manufacturing services, has completed the acquisition and official closing of a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Glendale, Arizona. The expansion represents a key step in the company’s long-term growth strategy and reinforces its focus on delivering precision-engineered metal solutions to a wide range of industries, including construction, automotive, oil and gas, agriculture, infrastructure, defence, medical, electrical, and industrial manufacturing.
The new site reflects Reiter’s continued investment in high-accuracy manufacturing, modern production technologies, and dependable customer delivery. Company Founder and President Don Reiter noted that the milestone is deeply personal, marking the evolution of a business that began as a small family operation and has grown into a respected fabrication partner. He added that the facility stands as a testament to the dedication of the team and provides a strong platform for the next generation to build upon.
Vice President Donald Reiter highlighted that the expansion is aimed at preparing the company for the future of manufacturing. The additional space enables greater automation, integration of advanced equipment, and improved workflow across engineering, production, and quality functions. Faster changeovers, cleaner processes, and better coordination are expected to enhance efficiency and consistency.
According to Ross Reiter, Director of Operations and Business Development, the new facility creates the capacity to take on larger and more complex projects while increasing output and maintaining the fast turnaround times customers expect. The layout and technology investments are designed to support steady, sustainable growth without compromising quality or reliability.
The Glendale facility will be equipped with automated laser cutting, waterjet cutting, press brake forming, manual and robotic welding, and comprehensive fabrication systems. Expanded areas for engineering, quality assurance, and logistics have been incorporated into a workflow-optimised layout that also allows for future equipment additions.
The expansion represents an eight-figure investment, covering both the property acquisition and a series of advanced equipment installations scheduled to be announced in the coming months. Throughout the transition, operations will continue uninterrupted, with detailed planning in place to ensure customers experience no delays or service disruptions. Full operations at the new site are expected by mid–Q1 2026.
Beyond strengthening its national manufacturing presence, the expansion also supports local economic development. The facility is expected to generate multiple high-skilled roles across engineering, production, and operational support, contributing to workforce development in the Glendale region. Don Reiter emphasised that the investment reflects a commitment not only to business growth but also to community development and long-term economic vitality.
