NEW HAMPSHIRE PRECISION SHEET METAL FABRICATION

EVS Keene operates with the same OEM-focused program structure used across the EVS network — sustained production relationships built around DFM review, first article inspection, and dedicated account management rather than transactional one-off orders. The facility is ISO 9001-certified and brings New England manufacturers a level of vertical integration that’s rare at the regional level: from laser cutting and CNC forming through certified MIG, TIG, and robotic welding, hardware insertion, large-part powder coating, and final assembly, all managed under a single purchase order.

The facility’s recent expansion added advanced cutting and forming capabilities, including a Bodor 3kW tube laser for structural and tubular components and an Amada Orsus 6kW sheet laser that complements the existing fiber laser cutting capacity. The welding department at Keene is one of the most capable in the network. A Lincoln Electric robotic MIG welding system handles high-volume, consistent weld programs, while the facility’s aluminum welding capability — including Cobra push-pull wire feed systems purpose-built for aluminum — serves manufacturers in industries where lightweight, corrosion-resistant assemblies are a requirement. Combined with an HRB 14-foot Amada press brake for large-format forming, the Keene facility can handle programs that go well beyond what a typical New England job shop can support. The finishing department includes a FinishLine deburr and graining system that ensures consistent edge quality and surface preparation across production runs.

The recent expansion to 58,000 square feet was driven by growing demand from OEM customers in the region and adds capacity for higher-volume production runs without compromising the lead times or quality standards existing programs depend on. OEM programs at EVS Keene also benefit from the network-level advantage of four total facilities — the ability to shift volume across locations when needed, consistent quality standards site to site, and owned delivery vehicles covering New England for scheduled, dock-to-stock deliveries.

Companies in New England looking to consolidate fabrication, machining, welding, and assembly under a single contract partner can start with a quote request. EVS works directly with OEM engineers and procurement teams and can support full transition programs from existing suppliers.
