Plano, TX Machine Shop & Fabrication for Equipment Builders and Production Floors
Plano's industrial side is compact and specialized. We build the frames, guarding, and replacement parts it runs on from our Garland shop, about 15 miles away by US-75 and the President George Bush Turnpike.
Plano's Industrial Side
Behind the corporate campuses, a tight industrial market.
Plano is best known for headquarters, but the city's manufacturers work in telecommunications, electronics, medical devices, equipment, and food processing. Much of that activity sits along Plano Parkway, the cross-town business route beside the Bush Turnpike, where the city's 190 Tollway/Plano Parkway overlay district runs from Preston Road east to Shiloh Road and takes in light-industrial and research/technology zoning. On Jupiter Road just south of Plano Parkway is the Central Plano Industrial Park, and more light-industrial lots sit near 10th Street and N Avenue.

Built for Plano's Mix
Equipment builders need structure. Production floors need spares.
For electronics, telecom, and equipment makers, we build the steel around the product: welded machine bases, frames, skids, carts, and guarding, with plate and sheet cut on the waterjet and bent on the press brake.
Food processing lines need a different kind of help: stainless guards and platforms, UHMW change parts, and a quick replacement when a worn or broken component stops the line. We don't hold food-grade or sanitary certifications, so if your application calls for one, tell us up front.
Where Plano Work Starts
Fabrication first, then the parts that keep it running.
Industrial Fabrication
MIG, TIG, and laser welding for machine bases, frames, skids, access platforms with stairs and handrails, carts, and guarding built to fit the equipment and the floor it sits on.

OEM Replacement Parts
When an equipment supplier can't deliver a spare fast enough, or no longer supports the machine, we evaluate the existing part and build the replacement to print or reverse engineer it from the sample.
OEM replacement parts →
Waterjet Cutting & Forming
A 90,000 PSI waterjet that cuts steel to roughly 6 inches, a 5×10 CNC router, a press brake, and a shear for plate, sheet, gussets, brackets, and guard panels.

Plano facilities can also send CNC machining, prototype and production runs, and emergency repair and reverse engineering.
Garland to Plano

Plano Questions
What Plano plants ask before sending work.
Do you hold ISO, AS9100, or medical-device certifications?
No. Kimbrell Manufacturing Corporation doesn't hold quality-system certifications. If a part needs a certified process or documented material traceability, tell us before the quote and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Can you handle production quantities, or just one-offs?
Both. We make one-off parts with no minimum order, and short-to-medium production runs once a part is proven. Drawings, programs, and tooling stay on file so repeat orders move faster.
Plano equipment down, or a build waiting on steel?
Send the drawing, the part, or a few photos. We'll follow up with questions or a quote.
