CERTIFIED COMMITMENT

Several of Almet's strengths position it as a leader in its industry. The company was one of the first fabricators in Indiana to achieve the distinction of being an American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) certified shop. In addition, it was also one of the first 100 companies in the nation to achieve the AISC category II certification which states that Almet has the personnel, organization, experience, procedures, knowledge, equipment, capability and commitment to produce fabricated structural steel of the required quality of the conventional steel structures, simple steel bridges and complex steel building structures. The company has also earned endorsements for sophisticated painting and fracture critical work. Almet is one of the few fabricators to have a certified welding inspector and a professional engineer on staff. These strengths emphasize the company's attention to detail and it's commitment to fabricating quality products. In addition to its AISC certification Almet is a member of the Central Fabricators Association (CFA) and the Indiana Fabricators Association (IFA). These groups set the standards for the fabricating industry and are dedicated to promoting high quality workmanship. Almets investment in two shot-blasting machines demonstrates its commitment to producing superior work. The shot-blasting process involves shooting chilled steel balls at the raw material to remove all scale and rust. The blasting process prepares the surface of the steel to allow for superior paint adhesion. Few other fabricators have this capability.
