Built for stage and venue equipment
Lighting and entertainment equipment manufacturers need precision sheet metal that handles the visual rigor of stage and venue applications — clean welds, custom matte black or color finishes, and dimensional accuracy that meets venue mounting standards. SPM brings fiber laser cutting for tight-pattern lighting fixture housings, AWS D1.3 certified welding for equipment frames, and in-house powder coating with matte black and custom-color finish options. Our scope covers non-life-safety equipment — fixture housings, equipment cabinets, venue rigging brackets — but does not include load-rated lift equipment or certified life-safety rigging hardware, which require specialized certifications we do not hold.
