The line stopped. Start there.
Breakdown welding, equipment repair, and plant maintenance support — 24/7, because lines don't break on schedule.
Equipment Repair & Maintenance
When equipment cracks, bends, or breaks, the meter starts running. Apex Fabrication answers breakdown calls 24 hours a day — nights, weekends, holidays — with a truck, a welder, and whatever the failure needs: field welding, straightening, machining a stopgap, or fabricating the replacement in our Hebron shop.
Beyond emergencies, we handle planned maintenance work: shutdown support, wear-part replacement, reinforcing chronic failure points, and the repair backlog your own crew never gets time for.
Came in burned. Went back better than it started.
A bottle plant's incline elevator conveyor burned mid-run — melted belt, scorched bed, stopped line. Same job, two moments: what reached us, and the stainless rebuild that went back on the line.

Repair & Maintenance FAQs
What does '24/7 emergency' actually mean?
It means call the emergency line at (219) 231-5500 when it breaks. If metal is the problem, we mobilize — nights, weekends, and holidays included.
Can you fix it well enough to finish the run, then do it right?
Yes — that's often the smart sequence. We'll stabilize the failure to finish the schedule, then fabricate the permanent repair for your next window.
Do you do preventive work, or just breakdowns?
Both. The best emergency call is the one you don't make — we reinforce chronic failure points and build spares before they're needed.
