We are a large Sculpture Studio in New York. We are currently looking for a "Top of the Line" full service fabricator. Below is a basic outline of what we are looking for. We have been doing work of this sort for over ten years and are very experienced with the requirements. We have a high volume of new work and are looking to add manufacturing capacity and to work with a new fabricator.

This should be a large established contractor, most probably currently working in the aerospace sector. Any suggestions or referrals are appreciated. Anyone with any question regards this can feel free to get in touch with me.

Fabricator should have an interest in undertaking very demanding low volume work. All our work is done in editions of 4. We have a large amount of projects available but each is a very complicated and time consuming, requiring dedicated management and the utmost level of quality control. We understand that the projects and methodology we need are very unique and therefore are willing to assist a qualified and motivated vendor with training and additional machinery if necessary for our work. Our work is very high visibility and will gain press attention and international notice for your business.
