Company History
Davis Fabricators, Inc. is a family business founded by Walt Davis. Walt started out as fabricator, and developed his skills working for another fabrication shop in his early years. When that business closed it doors, Walt decided to use his knowledge and experience to go out on his own and began Davis Fabricators in 1982, eventually incorporating the business in 1984.
Walt originally rented space in a local machine shop and then purchased that building for Davis headquarters. Walt’s reputation as a quality fabricator and one who could find a solution to almost any problem spread throughout Northwest Ohio. As business quickly grew, he hired several qualified fabricators to keep up with project requests.
Davis Fabricators has remained in the same location since its founding day, but as business expanded, so did their need for space. The first addition to the existing structure happened in 1995, with another expansion in 2004. Unfortunately, a devastating tornado in 2006 destroyed some of Davis buildings but a quick rebuild allowed for minimal disruption to operations.
In the early 2000’s, Walt turned over management to his son Todd Davis. Walt is still involved in many daily tasks around the shop but allows Todd to handle the executive decisions and operations.
