HISTORY OF EVS
EVS Metal was originally incorporated in 1994 by Scott Berkowitz and Joseph Amico to provide industrial rack mount enclosures for the growing PC market. However, the company quickly found a market for metal fabrication that was thirsting for a fresh approach and true end-to-end manufacturing solutions. Over time, EVS expanded to serve many industries, including military fabrication, consumer electronics, computers, telecommunications, medical, semiconductors, gaming, power backup, audio/video, and gas/oil extraction.
EVS’s first metal fabrication shop in New Jersey was a mere 5,000 square feet, but grew rapidly by leveraging technology, flexibility and skill in both fabrication and design to provide the highest quality products at competitive prices. However, their greatest differentiator as a manufacturer evolved over time to go beyond just industry expertise. EVS implemented a company-wide strategy combining LEAN manufacturing standards, continuous improvement and a dedication to customer service that resulted in both outstanding customer retention and satisfaction.
In 2001 EVS Metal established a second facility for sheet metal fabrication and finishing, this time focusing on the southern United States. Utilizing the same manufacturing principles and business systems, our Texas location has grown to over 75 employees housed in a 43,000 square foot facility in Pflugerville, just outside of Austin. The Texas facility features the unique capabilities required to work with #8 mirror finished stainless steel, providing a highly-cosmetic end product. In addition to general fabrication, EVS Austin is also home to a state-of-the-art CNC machine shop as well as the capacity to fabricate complex welded assemblies and frames.
In October of 2008, EVS purchased the assets of the Holden Company, establishing our third facility for custom sheet metal work. Located in Keene, New Hampshire, it is housed in a 32,000 square foot facility and is capable of fabricating metal product runs of any size, but specializes in large, complicated weldments. Like our other facilities, EVS NH features in-house finishing including both powder coat and wet paint applications.
Finally, in 2011, EVS opened its East Stroudsburg, PA metal fabrication facility in order to better serve the lighting, construction and solar industries. In early 2022, this location relocated to Stroudsburg and underwent a massive expansion that included a new, ultra high-tech CNC machine shop, laser tube cutting equipment, our third Amada EMZRT turret punch press, and fourth automated powder coating line.
