Metal Fabrication in Alabama
From our 100,000+ sq. ft. facility in Oakman, Jones Machine and Welding has provided metal fabrication to Alabama industry since 1971 — with 90 skilled employees and a proven track record across the Southeast.
Alabama Metal Fabrication Since 1971
Jones Machine and Welding is located in Oakman, in Walker County, Alabama. We support mining, quarry and industrial plant customers across the state — including steel, pulp and paper, cement, power, biomass and manufacturing operations.
Our fabrication team handles everything from single custom pieces to 500‑ton structural steel projects, managing every phase from initial design through final delivery.
Typical work includes hoppers, transfer chutes, conveyor trusses and galleries, silo and tower structures, platforms, stairs and handrails, and custom equipment frames. Our engineering team can produce the drawings, and our shop fabricates, blasts, paints and ships the finished steel.
Because engineering, machining and fabrication are under one roof, Alabama customers deal with one shop for the full project instead of coordinating several vendors.
