Michigan Manufacturing

Schneider Fabrication traces its history to 1988, when Gary Schneider began performing welding repairs in Fowler. The operation incorporated as Schneider Fabrication, Inc. in 2007 and moved to its St. Johns manufacturing facility that year. It remains family-owned and operated.
