Each issue delivers practical insights on shop safety, leadership, industry trends, and technology—along with real stories from fabricators across the country. It highlights workforce development and advocacy efforts, all aimed at building a stronger, safer, and more profitable trade. More than a publication, Fabricators’ Edge is the voice of the surface fabrication industry—where craftsmanship, community, and the future of the trade come together.
