Leading Edge started as a propeller repair and contract service shop in 1988.  Welding and fabrication capabilities were steadily developed in the early years to fill unique needs for the marine industry.

By the mid-1990’s Leading Edge Fabricating, Inc was emerging as a specialty machining and welding contractor servicing tool & die, aerospace, defense and general manufacturing sectors. Recognizing its new position, the company changed its strategic focus by divesting its marine propeller business and investing in advance machining and fabrication equipment. By the late-90’s, Leading Edge was relocated in a new facility in the Montague Industrial Park complete with CNC programmable abrasive waterjet and machining centers. Complementary fabrication equipment such as press brake, cutting equipment and a complete TIG & MIG welding department were also in put in place to facilitate the needs of its expanding customer base.  Initial quality systems development began.

Today, Leading Edge is an AS9100 and ISO9001:2000 certified contractor specializing in welding, machining and fabricating with expertise in exotic materials. For example, super alloys and titanium can be welded in the company’s atmospherically controlled MBraun welding glove-box. Additionally, our abrasive waterjet can cut the softest plastic to the toughest super-alloys. From short lead time orders to production runs, customer service is assured through the company’s quality management system, attention to detail, and friendly service.
