PEKO provides sheet metal welding services for OEMs that need precision, repeatability, and production-ready support. As part of our broader precision sheet metal fabrication capabilities, we help customers build welded enclosures, cabinets, frames, brackets, chassis, and other fabricated assemblies for complex equipment and products.
By keeping these processes integrated, we help reduce supplier handoffs, improve build consistency, and support better control over quality, fit, and schedule.
Sheet Metal Fabrication and Welding Services for Complex OEM Builds
PEKO works with OEMs that need more than a basic weld shop. Our team supports projects that require close coordination between forming, joining, inspection, and downstream manufacturing steps. That makes us a strong fit for programs where repeatability, documentation, and overall build quality matter.
Whether you need welded housings, structural frames, cabinets, or precision assemblies, we evaluate the part design, material, end-use requirements, and production volume to determine the right approach.
Why OEMs Choose PEKO for Sheet Metal Welding
PEKO offers a dedicated 10,000 ft² welding facility, 20 welding stations, and more than 140 internal welding procedure specifications (WPS) to support a wide range of requirements. Our team includes 16 welders certified to various AWS standards, with some certified to ASME standards as well.
To maintain consistent workmanship and process control, we also employ two Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) who can verify procedures, support documentation, and qualify new welders on-site. This helps customers looking for dependable quality, repeatability, and confidence in their welded assemblies.
Because welding is integrated with our broader fabrication capabilities, PEKO can support programs from prototype and pilot builds through ongoing production. That gives OEM teams a more coordinated path from early development to repeatable manufacturing.
Sheet Metal Welding Processes We Use
PEKO uses a range of welding methods to support different part configurations, materials, and production goals. The right process depends on factors such as thickness, appearance requirements, strength needs, and production volume.
MIG Welding Sheet Metal
This process is often used when speed, efficiency, and repeatability are priorities. It is a practical choice for larger assemblies and production environments where consistent weld quality and throughput matter. It can also support stud welding applications.
TIG Welding Sheet Metal
This method is typically used when the application requires tighter control, cleaner welds, or a more refined finish. It is especially well suited for thinner-gauge materials and assemblies where precision and appearance are important.
Spot Welding Sheet Metal
This approach is commonly used for cabinets, brackets, and overlapping sheet metal components. It offers a fast, clean, and reliable joining method for applications that require consistency and production efficiency.
Laser Welding Sheet Metal
This option can be a strong fit for applications that require precise heat input, reduced distortion, and tight weld control. It is especially useful for select parts where accuracy and weld consistency are critical.
Stick Welding Sheet Metal
This method is generally less common for thin-gauge production work, but it can still be useful in certain heavier-duty applications or special project conditions depending on the material and part design.
In addition to these processes, PEKO also supports robotic welding, brazing, and soldering to help match the right joining method to the needs of the build.

FAQs
- What are sheet metal welding services? These services join sheet metal parts into a permanent assembly using heat, pressure, or both. Common applications include cabinets, enclosures, frames, brackets, and other fabricated components.
- What is the best process for welding sheet metal? That depends on the material, thickness, geometry, appearance requirements, and production needs. MIG, TIG, spot, laser, and other methods each serve different applications.
- What should OEMs look for in sheet metal welding suppliers? Look for process fit, quality controls, documented procedures, inspection capability, fabrication integration, and the ability to support your volume and lifecycle stage.
