Metal Fabrication Near Portland, Maine
NESF is located in Alfred, 29 miles and approximately 45 minutes from Portland via I-95. For Greater Portland's manufacturers, contractors, marine businesses, and engineering firms, NESF provides the full-service metal fabrication and machine shop capabilities that smaller local shops often can't match.
Portland's Fabrication Partner Since 1983
Portland is Maine's economic center, home to a diverse mix of manufacturing, marine, construction, and professional services businesses. Many of those businesses need reliable metal fabrication support that goes beyond what a basic welding shop can provide.
NESF has served Portland-area customers for over 40 years, providing CNC plasma and flame cutting, press brake forming, MIG and TIG welding, CNC machining, and metal rolling under one roof. For projects that require multiple fabrication processes, having a single shop handle it all reduces coordination time and improves quality control.
The drive from Portland to NESF's Alfred shop takes about 45 minutes via I-95 South. NESF also operates an 18-foot delivery truck for completed parts and assemblies.
