Mid West Fabricating is a leader in the cold forming of steel wire into components, special fasteners and rods for the automotive, lawn and garden and various industrial and consumer industries. Cold working the metal through heading, extruding, bending, coining, piercing, roll forming and thread rolling often produces parts that are more cost effective, stronger and of more uniform quality than competitive processes. Mid West Fabricating is a family owned corporation founded in 1945. The company started in Columbus, Ohio manufacturing lawn and garden tools and automobile parts. At the request of General Motors, Mid West started a west coast division in Southern California in 1961. This plant supplied automotive parts to west coast assembly plants and bent bolts for water lines. Mid West expanded its cold forming capabilities with the addition of the Rockmill plant in 1990. This cold heading division located in Lancaster, Ohio supplies a variety of specialty fasteners for the highway, utility and housing markets. Today Mid West still supplies cold-formed components to its original automotive and lawn and garden customers as well as hundreds of customers in industries worldwide.
