F.A.Q.

A: Over our history, we’ve continually worked to set ourselves apart from all of the other options you have when in need of metal fabrication. Slagel is different in three main ways:

1. Employees Come First: Slagel was founded by brothers Mark and Don Slagel as a family business that’s remained that way to this day. With dozens of employees, our workforce has grown significantly, and twenty-five years later, we are still one giant family that now includes members of dozens of different families. We put our employees first because we believe that by having the most supported and cared for team, they are able to serve our customers better than anyone else. In other words, when our employees are put first, they can do their very best work for you.
2. We Put Quality Over Profit: Every project we complete is a reflection of who we are as a company. We care about providing the best in service, manufactured parts and about building long-lasting relationships over making a profit.
3. We’re Community-Focused: Part of our effort to extend our family-like atmosphere outside of the workplace is geared towards providing value to the community. From working on projects with farmers, to donating to local schools and community efforts, we are proud to be able to give back to the Central Illinois area which has supported our business for nearly three decades.

A: There’s not much we can’t accomplish together. Slagel Manufacturing has a wide variety of experience and on-staff talent, including engineers, product managers, and skilled fabricators who can guide your product from start to finish. We are also able to work with your engineers to complete your project.

Slagel manufactures a wide variety of parts, structures, and machinery for small businesses to OEM manufacturers, and from hog pen gates to vehicle parts. If your project requires machinery we don’t have on hand, we work with partners with the right machinery to complete the build.  If it’s steel, we can make it.

A: Each project requires a different level of attention, R&D, and number of man hours. Working with our engineer and product manager, Slagel Manufacturing will give you reliable deadlines based on the time required to achieve the best result in terms of quality. If there are changes in the final delivery date, our team will update you immediately.

A: Slagel Manufacturing is an ISO 9001:2015 Registered Metal Fabrication Facility.
