Proud to have played a small part in something bigger this season. When Calgary's Hyperdroids robotics team (FTC #10015) needed custom aluminum plates cut to meet their build deadline, we got them sorted.

The team competed at the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship this year, placing in the top 312 out of more than 8,500 teams worldwide, and they're gearing up for another competitive run that includes Klondike Days.

Big thanks to mentor Mike Warren and team captain Adrian, who handled the CAD design and even anodized the plates at home. Good luck this season!

“Can you just make this work?”
Sometimes yes.
Sometimes that’s how rework, delays, and blown budgets sneak in.

Good fabrication starts with clarity, not hope.

Here’s a look at a fresh batch of laser-cut components for one of our Electrical Equipment OEM partners.

Every piece in this stack has been laser-cut to exact specifications, inspected, and organized to keep the workflow moving without a hitch.

1,305 kids and families on the ice. Second-largest Kids Can Catch event ever!

Kids Can Catch is a free, family-friendly event that introduces kids to ice fishing and the outdoors: no experience needed, just show up and drop a line. This February 14th at Wabamun Lake, over a thousand people did exactly that, and it was a day worth remembering.

Proud to be a sponsor and help make it happen. Here's to more kids outside and on the water. 🙌

10 minutes faster on a repeat run isn't luck.

It's what happens when design, fabrication, and finishing all happen under one roof. No handoffs. No delays. No guessing what the last shop meant by "close enough."

When your process is tight, your wins stack up. That's what we build for.

A vague RFQ is how you end up with a quote that doesn't match what gets built.

We asked our shop lead exactly what needs to be in your package before we can price it accurately: revision numbers, material specs, finish requirements, and quantities. Not because we're picky. Because that's what keeps your job on schedule and your budget intact.

The more complete your RFQ, the fewer back-and-forths.
Fewer back-and-forths means faster turnaround.

Aluminum or steel? Most shops decide by habit.

Weight, stiffness, road salt exposure, and temperature swings: all four should drive that decision before fabrication starts, not after.

We broke down exactly how to call it for brackets, frames, and panels built for winters in Western Canada. Click here to learn more:

For brackets, frames, and panels, the aluminum vs.. steel call is usually about what matters most on your build: weight, stiffness, corrosion, and temperature.

Work in progress. Stainless steel corner guards, cut to size and ready for deburring, then forming.

Off-the-shelf wasn’t going to get this one done.

Purifico Ozone needed custom metal fabrication to support high-tech water treatment systems, and we worked alongside their team to help design and build the cabinets, frames, and components their project needed.

That kind of collaboration is what turns a complex build into a finished system that looks sharp and performs the way it should.

When the first part hits spec, that’s a GC win.
In custom metal fabrication, small wins like this keep the whole production run moving.

Save this for your next RFQ!

Is your production line losing time to "vendor friction"?

Moving parts between separate shops for welding, finishing, and assembly creates delays and quality risks. At GC Custom Metal, we’ve eliminated the middleman.

We handle everything. Design, CNC, Welding, and our 3-stage Powder Coating, under one 32,000 sq. ft. roof.

The result? Parts that arrive at your facility chip-resistant, fully assembled, and ready to go straight to work. No extra truck rides, no "mystery dings," and no wasted effort.

Keep your line moving with a single, expert partner.
