Steel Plate Processing in Alabama
From our 100,000+ sq. ft. facility in Oakman, Jones Machine and Welding has provided steel and plate processing to Alabama industry since 1971 — with 90 skilled employees and a proven track record across the Southeast.
Alabama Steel Processing 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 steel processing equipment lets you place one order for all your steel needs — cut, beveled, rolled, formed and drilled in one shop.
Typical work includes plasma-cut plate parts, beveled weld preps, rolled plate cylinders, formed plate, rolled angle, channel and pipe, and drilled beams. Parts can go straight into our fabrication shop when you need a finished weldment rather than loose parts.
Our True Hole® plasma technology cuts clean, precise holes without water, giving better edge quality and accuracy than traditional methods.
