🎃 Scary Good at What We Do! 👻

At Velocity Metalworks, our team members are SCARY committed to delivering quality products to our customers… and apparently just as committed to dressing up for Halloween! 💀

Meet Freddy Bejma, one of our talented fabricators at our Hoffman facility, proving that even Frankenstein's monster knows his way around a metal fabrication shop! 🔩⚙️

While the costumes may be frightening, our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction is anything but!

🎃 Happy Halloween from all of us at Velocity Metalworks!

🎉 Another Successful ISO 9001:2015 Surveillance Audit at
Velocity Metalworks!

We’re proud to share that Velocity Metalworks successfully passed our ISO 9001:2015 surveillance audit yesterday!

As our President, Brian Wort, often reminds us, “Quality is everyone’s job at Velocity.”

That philosophy is more than a statement. It reflects our commitment to accountability, continuous improvement, and delivering the quality and reliability our customers expect.

👏 A special shout-out to Kayla Duncan, who leads our Quality Management System (QMS) and does an outstanding job keeping our team organized, prepared, and focused on continuous improvement. Her dedication and leadership make a difference every day!

Thank you to Kayla and our entire Velocity team for demonstrating that quality isn't just a department — it's part of our culture.

October is Manufacturing Month — and we're proud to be part of it. 🏭🇺🇸

At Velocity Metalworks, we've been making things in Illinois for over 50 years. Fabrication. Metal stamping. Laser cutting. Robotic welding. Precision machining. Tool & die. All of it, right here.

American manufacturing isn't just our business. It's our identity.

Choosing a metal manufacturing partner? Ask who builds the tooling. 🛠️

At Velocity Metalworks, we build and maintain ours in-house — six skilled toolmakers working right alongside our stamping floor. That means faster turnaround on new tools, repairs handled here instead of shipped out, and zero dependency on outside vendors to keep your production moving.

Capacity, tooling, and quality are what decide whether a supplier can actually handle the job. In-house tool & die covers all three.

Our fab shop is growing — and so is what we can take on. 🔧

Velocity Metalworks is expanding fabrication at our Belleville facility, moving in additional press brakes and adding complete equipment groupings to build out capacity for customers who need more than one process under one roof.

Shearing. Forming. Welding — including our OTC Daihen robotic welder. Assembly. Finishing. Everything in between.

Brackets, shims, weldments, complex assemblies — prototype through production, from a shop willing to figure it out.

One partner. Start to finish.

🎉 Congratulations, Cort!

We’re proud to celebrate Cort on completing his Tool & Die Maker Apprenticeship!

Our Belleville team marked this important milestone by presenting Cort with his certificate — and, of course, celebrating with some well-earned cake. 🎂

This accomplishment is especially meaningful to us because the apprenticeship program was developed by Velocity Metalworks in partnership with Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) to combine classroom education with hands-on training and mentorship from experienced tool & die professionals.

Cort joined Velocity as our youngest employee, and we’ve had the opportunity to watch him learn, develop his skills and grow into a talented tradesman.

At Velocity, we believe strongly in investing in the next generation of skilled tradespeople. Programs like this create a pathway for young people to build rewarding careers while developing the highly technical skills that are essential to the future of American manufacturing.

Congratulations, Cort! We’re proud of this accomplishment and excited to see where your career takes you next at Velocity Metalworks. 🇺🇸
