Aluminum Fabrication Services in Kitchener
Custom Aluminum Fabrication for Commercial and Industrial Projects
BSG is an aluminum fabrication shop with laser cutting, welding, CNC machining and assembly in one 44,000 sq ft plant. Aluminum is one of the three metals we work with most, alongside carbon steel and stainless, and we've been building parts and equipment for customers across Southwestern Ontario since 1987.

Why Engineers Specify Aluminum
Aluminum weighs roughly a third as much as steel and resists corrosion without a coating, which makes it a common pick for equipment that gets moved, handled or exposed to the weather. It also machines quickly, though it conducts heat fast and calls for different welding setups than steel.

Aluminum Fabrication Machines on Our Floor
Every aluminum job is cut, shaped, joined and machined on equipment we own and run in Kitchener. Here's what your parts move through.
| Equipment | Process | Aluminum Capability |
|---|---|---|
| 9kW Amada ENSIS 3015 RIe fiber laser | Laser cutting | Aluminum sheet, tube and pipe |
| Plasma cutting | Plasma cutting | Aluminum from thin sheet to heavy plate |
| Shears and bandsaws | Stock prep | Straight cuts and cut-to-length work |
| Brake press with quick-change tooling | Forming | Bends for prototype and production parts |
| MIG, TIG and robotic welders | Welding | Manual and high-volume welded assemblies |
| CD and arc stud welders | Stud welding | Studs and fasteners welded onto aluminum |
| 5-axis CNC mills, manual mills and lathes | Machining | Machined aluminum parts to ±0.010mm |
| CMM | Inspection | Dimensional checks on critical features |
Cutting Aluminum
Aluminum sheet, tube and pipe are cut on our 9kW Amada ENSIS 3015 RIe. As a hybrid fiber laser, it lets flat blanks and tubular parts share one machine, and it cuts as much as 4x faster than CO2 equipment.
Plasma cutting takes aluminum from thin sheet through heavy plate, and our shears and bandsaws handle straight cuts and cut-to-length stock before parts move on to forming or welding.
Welding Aluminum
Aluminum is one of the three metals our welders work with most, along with carbon steel and stainless. The shop runs MIG and TIG welding plus a new robotic welding system for high-volume production, and every weld is completed to the specifications on your drawing.
Stud Welding on Aluminum
Capacitor discharge (CD) and arc stud welding attach studs and fasteners directly to aluminum, giving a part its mounting points in seconds. The same equipment works on carbon steel and stainless steel.
Machining Aluminum
Aluminum is on the materials list for our Machining Division. Parts are milled on 5-axis CNC and manual machines and turned on manual equipment, with tolerances down to ±0.010mm and CMM inspection for the features that matter most.
The division takes on everything from prototypes to production orders, including overnight production runs when a schedule is tight.
Aluminum Manufacturing, from Prototype to Production
Beyond single parts, we carry aluminum projects end to end: design support in AutoDesk and SolidWorks, prototype development, then custom manufacturing at production volume.
Custom Manufactured Parts
Cut, formed, welded and machined aluminum components built to your drawings, in the quantities your program needs.
Prototypes
Take a concept or pre-prototype design through modelling and a first build before you commit to tooling or volume.
Material Handling Equipment
Project-specific equipment designed around how your parts and products move through your plant.
Kitchener’s Aluminum Fabrication Specialists Since 1987
Checked, Assembled, and Delivered
A formal quality assurance policy, a retained welding engineer, staff qualified in non-destructive testing and CMM inspection back our aluminum work.
Mechanical assembly is done in-house, so components can ship as finished assemblies instead of loose parts. When the job is complete, we can pick it up from our plant and deliver it to your site anywhere in Southwestern Ontario.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We laser cut, plasma cut, form, weld, stud weld, machine and assemble aluminum at our plant in Kitchener, with design support from prototype through production.
-
Yes. The 9kW Amada ENSIS 3015 RIe handles both flat sheet and tubular stock, including aluminum tube and pipe.
-
Not directly. Fusion welding aluminum to steel forms brittle intermetallic compounds at the joint, so the two metals are typically joined with fasteners or other mechanical methods. We stud weld onto aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel, and can review your joint design when you request a quote.
-
Our 5-axis CNC and manual machines hold tolerances down to ±0.010mm, with CMM inspection available for critical dimensions.
-
Yes. Our robotic welding system is built for high-volume production, and our Machining Division runs production orders, including overnight runs.
-
Yes. We offer pickup and delivery of fabricated parts across Southwestern Ontario.
-
Yes. Aluminium is the spelling used in the UK and many other countries, and aluminum is the North American spelling. Whichever spelling you use, BSG fabricates it in Kitchener for customers across Southwestern Ontario.
