When it comes to custom metal fabrication, precision and quality make all the difference. At GC Custom Metal, we’ve been perfecting our craft since 1982, delivering expertly crafted metal components for projects of varying sizes. What started as a one-bay operation founded by George Schmidt has grown into a state-of-the-art 32,000 sq.ft. facility serving clients across Canada, the U.S. and even Europe. 

Our Mission: Precision, Quality & Customer Focus

At GC Custom Metal, our goal is simple: to bring your vision to life with high-quality, custom metal fabrication that meets your exact specifications. Whether you need one-of-a-kind prototypes or large production runs, we work closely with you to ensure the finished product is durable, functional, and built to last.

We believe in a hands-on approach, where every project gets the attention it deserves. From initial fabrication design to final assembly, we handle everything in-house, so you can count on consistent quality every step of the way. 

What We Do Best

With over 24 major work centres, our Edmonton facility is equipped to handle a wide range of metal fabrication needs. Here’s what we bring to the table:

  • Fabrication Design: Need help bringing your metal-inspired ideas to life? We collaborate with you to create designs that are both functional and cost-effective.
  • Metal Cutting: Using advanced tech like the Amada 6kW Ensis Fiber Laser and Omax 60120 Waterjet, we cut through stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and brass with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Bending & Forming: Whether it’s simple 90-degree bends or complex shapes, we bend metal parts to your exact specifications.
  • Expert Welding: Our skilled welders ensure strong, clean welds for both structural integrity and aesthetics. We specialize in both MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding processes, ensuring precise, high-quality welds on all types of metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
  • Powder Coating: A durable, high-quality finish that protects metal from wear, corrosion, and nature’s elements.
  • Project Assembly: We don’t just fabricate parts—we put them together so you get a fully assembled, ready-to-use product. The perfect streamlined solution for your business.
  • Machining & CNC: If you’re on the lookout for precision parts, our Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining services are ideal. We handle everything from detailed components to high-volume production.

We stay ahead of industry trends to make sure we are always delivering results that impress, no matter how complex or unique the project is.
