Who we are

Sterling Fab Tech is a CNC Machine Tool Sales Company that specializes in metal fabrication and processing equipment. We exclusively represent multiple global leading manufacturers of CNC Equipment across the Southern, Mid-Western and Western United States.

Our vision

We understand that customers are bombarded by salesmen. Frankly, we don’t want to be that company. We pride ourselves in being the subject matter experts by maintaining the highest level of technical competency in fabrication processes and machine technologies. Combining this know-how with an engineering approach to sales, we want to understand the customers’ needs and educate their team so they can make the best possible decision without any sales puffery.

Our focus

Our focus has been on partnering with the leading machine tool manufacturers of enabling technologies. Companies choose our products when they value technology that control the variables of processes over cost, understand that improving processes and profitability is easier with equipment rather than labor, and want to have confidence that they are investing in sustainable companies.
