About Us
Our Story
Founded in the early 1990s by brothers Joel and AJ Yoder, our company began as a custom tooling company in Mio, Michigan. In 2003, Joel leveraged his decades of tooling expertise to launch Metalfab Manufacturing, Inc., with a focus on automotive tubing production. Starting with just two employees, we’ve grown into a trusted manufacturing partner with nearly 40 team members.
Today, we’re a second-generation family business with Joel’s sons, Kyle and Luke, continuing the company’s growth and innovation.
Kyle Yoder manages daily operations as General Manager, while Luke Yoder continues the family’s legacy of tooling innovation. Our decades of experience have built strong supplier and customer relationships across multiple industries. With a team of highly dedicated, service-minded employees, we are highly regarded for our company culture and high expectations for character.
