Founded in 1954 as Estul Tool, we were acquired by ABT Inc. to serve their internal customers for all of their stamping and welding needs. We currently occupy a 48,000 square foot facility located in Matthews, N.C. just a short distance from Charlotte and I77, I85, and I40. Our clients are from all areas of the United States as well as Canada, Mexico, and Europe.  Just as diverse as the geographical locations, the industries we serve are equally broad. We have provided our clients with sporting equipment, aerospace components, and drainage systems.  Our clients have trusted us to provide them with high quality items as small as custom designed retainer clips to professional football goals.

ABT Metals, LLC offers a wide variety of services to our customers. One of our services is called "Value Added Engineering". Our engineering department works closely with our customers to assure them that if there is a more economical way to produce a higher quality part that the customer benefits from our knowledge and expertise. We have a full service tool room that can build and maintain almost any type of tooling.

We have invested in machinery and training in the field of automation for the greatest degree of quality and accuracy in the parts we produce.  The use of CNC equipment in our tool room for tool making and production machining ensures tight tolerances and consistent output. The welding capabilities include four highly experienced welders for custom jobs as well as a state of the art robotic welding for repeatable high quality production runs.  Recently adding a bending machine capable of bending pipe as large as 7 5/8” diameter (3/16” wall), I beams as large as W6, and 4” solid square bars has expanded our available services to meet the needs of several clients including architectural.
