LMI Manufacturing is growing again. This latest facility expansion adds a new, dedicated production area that gives our team more room to take on complex weldments, support high-volume welding, and streamline part flow across departments. With expanded space for production, inspection, and material movement, we’re strengthening what customers already value most about LMI: everything handled under one roof, delivered with the precision, reliability, and service our partners count on.
Why We Expanded Our Facility
The demand for reliable, high-quality metal fabrication continues to grow—especially for OEMs that rely on consistent production, repeatability, and faster turnaround times. To stay ahead of these needs, LMI expanded our facility to create a stronger, more efficient environment for every stage of production.
Here’s what drove the expansion:
- Increased OEM demand for mid- to high-volume runs
- Greater focus on high-volume welding, including robotic welding and grinding
- The need for a dedicated inspection and quarantine area, critical for quality assurance
- Faster quoting and prototyping expectations from customers
- A need to streamline part flow between laser cutting, forming, welding, machining, and assembly
- Long-term scalability, ensuring LMI can continue growing alongside our partners
This expansion is an investment in reliability, capacity, and performance—reinforcing our commitment to delivering consistent quality on every project.
A Look Inside the New Expansion
The new expansion area is purpose-built to support higher volumes, tighter quality control, and more efficient workflows. Based on the new layout and construction plans, this space adds targeted capabilities that directly improve production efficiency.
New Expansion Area
- A dedicated addition designed specifically for production growth
- Improved separation between work zones for better organization and safety
- Layout optimized for material flow, staging, and repeatable processes
Dedicated Inspection & Quarantine Area
- A clearly defined inspection area for verifying part quality
- Quarantine space for isolating nonconforming parts before they move downstream
- Added transparency and control for customers who require strict quality processes
This inspection capability is especially important for OEMs with quality-critical components, giving them added confidence in every shipment.
Robotic Welding & Grinding Stations
- Robotic welding cells designed for high-volume, repeatable weldments
- Dedicated grinding stations to support consistent finishing and throughput
- Improved consistency, efficiency, and scalability for welded assemblies
Together, these additions strengthen LMI’s ability to handle demanding production schedules without compromising quality.
What This Expansion Means for Our Customers
Our added space isn’t just a construction update—it directly improves how quickly and efficiently we can deliver high-quality parts. Here’s what the expansion means for the OEMs who rely on us:
Faster Lead Times
- More room for staging and movement reduces internal slowdowns
- Smoother transitions between cutting, forming, welding, machining, and assembly
- Increased capacity to run multiple jobs simultaneously
More Room for High-Volume Weldments
- Additional floor space dedicated to large, complex weldments
- Easier handling and maneuvering of multi-part assemblies
- Better organization of workstations, improving consistency and workflow speed
Stronger Prototyping-to-Production Support
- Expanded areas for setup, testing, and refinement
- Faster iteration cycles thanks to improved part flow
- Greater flexibility to introduce new parts without disrupting production
All Under One Roof — Now With Even More Capacity
- Laser cutting, forming, welding, machining, assembly, and finishing flow more efficiently
- Centralized processes reduce risk of delays and quality issues
- Larger footprint enhances our existing advantage: reliable fabrication with complete in-house control
