About Artisan Metals
Our Founder
With decades of experience in stainless steel fabrication, welding, manufacturing support, and commercial equipment construction, David Rivera has built a reputation for delivering quality workmanship and practical fabrication solutions.
Throughout his career, David has played key roles in the growth and success of fabrication and manufacturing businesses, including Architectural Metals and other custom metal fabrication ventures. His experience spans every stage of the process—from concept development and CAD design to fabrication, assembly, installation, and production support.
What sets David apart is his hands-on approach and commitment to doing things the right way. He understands that successful fabrication projects require more than technical skill; they require clear communication, dependable execution, and attention to detail from start to finish.
Today, as the founder of Artisan Metals, David continues to lead with the same principles that have defined his career: quality craftsmanship, honest service, and a commitment to building long-term relationships with customers. Whether supporting a custom fabrication project, a repeat production run, or overflow manufacturing needs, David and his team focus on delivering work that customers can rely on.
Our Process
At Artisan Metals, every project starts with understanding the requirements of the finished product. Whether we're fabricating a custom stainless assembly, producing repeat components, or supporting an overflow production schedule, our goal is the same: deliver accurate, high-quality fabrication on time.
We review drawings, specifications, materials, quantities, and finish requirements before fabrication begins. From forming and welding to finishing and final assembly, every project is built with attention to detail and practical manufacturing experience.
Our process is designed to support both one-off custom projects and repeat production work for manufacturers, builders, and commercial equipment companies.
The Artisan Difference
Artisan Metals combines custom fabrication craftsmanship with production-minded execution.
Unlike many fabrication shops that focus solely on custom projects or high-volume manufacturing, we bridge the gap between the two. Our team has experience building complete stainless systems, fabricated assemblies, commercial equipment, and custom components while maintaining the consistency required for repeat production.
Whether you need a single prototype, a short-run batch, or overflow fabrication support, we focus on clear communication, dependable turnaround, and quality workmanship that reflects positively on your business.
Our success is built on long-term relationships, repeat customers, and a commitment to producing work we're proud to put our name on.
