Below you will find the history of AmeriFab Industries, Inc. September 2005 Plasma table arrives, is set up and operating staff is trained. Plasma cutting services are put into full swing.
July 2005 AmeriFab Industries, Inc. moves into there new facility and continues full operations along with making preparations for the new plasma table arrival.
June 2005 Terry and Lance purchase a larger facility in Elbow Lake, MN along with placing there order for a new CNC high definition / precision plasma cutting table with the capabilities of cutting up to 1 1/4" thick and a cutting area of 8' x 20'. Along with these they have also looked ahead toward some new goals. With these new goals and the major portion of the services being metal fabrication and welding, they realize that the current name of TG Concept Designs & Associates, Inc. just wasn't fitting or portraying them correctly any more. So with there new ideas and goals in mind they decided to rename themselves AmeriFab Industries, Inc.
April 2005 Lance and Tom finalize the purchase to Tom's half of the business. Lance comes from a local small business where him and his three partners continue to operate a family run service orientated agricultural based business now in it's 45th year of operation.
December 2004 Tom decides to leave the partnership and finds a buyer for his portion of the business.
September 2001 We all remember 9/11! But for a new small business, officially just a little over a year old Terry and Tom realized things were going to change. As some customers started to pull work back, Terry and Tom knew that to survive they were going to need to rethink a few ideas and goals. As they struggled to survive the down turn in the economy along with everyone else, they seen that there original ideas for the business were still good. Small manufacturers were still needing design services for them to capture certain work and with the equipment they had acquired they were able to provide a large manufacturers manufacturing services on a small scale along with being able to be more flexible.
November 2000 A building was leased in Garfield, MN and the equipment was brought in to merge the capabilities of the two partners.
August 2000 With the business outlook looking very good, Terry and Tom decided to take that next step and make the business official. On August 8th, 2000 Terry and Tom incorporated under the name of TG Concept Designs & Associates, Inc. Now with the business official and growing, Terry and Tom seen the need to bring Terry's design work and Tom's manufacturing together under one roof and improve on some of there equipment and capabilities. With specific goals in mind, Terry and Tom set out to find a building and specific metal fabrication equipment.
June 2000 Terry partners with Tom who was doing metal fabrication, welding and repair out of his shop at home is his off hours for smaller local area manufacturers and individuals. Now with the ability to offer customers design and manufacturing TG Concept Designs started to grow substantially with a very positive outlook.
April 2000 With TG Concepts customer base growing both in size and demands, Terry felt that it was best if a decision was made to dedicate himself to his current full time employer or to TG Concept Designs. With the past growth and a positive looking future, Terry decided to leave his full time employment and dedicate his full efforts towards TG Concept Designs.
September 1997 Terry Gardner started TG Concept Designs (what is today AmeriFab Industries, Inc.) in the basement of his house in Fergus Falls, MN. TG Concept Designs provided contract computer aided mechanical design services to smaller local area manufacturers and individuals with limited or no in house design capabilities. Over the next three years Terry continued his full time employment with a local manufacturer while pursuing the advancement and growth of TG Concept Designs in his off hours. TG Concept Designs offered it's customers computer aided designs utilizing Autodesk's AutoCAD, but with the fast approaching advancements in 3D design software Terry soon switch to the 3D design software package SolidWorks. With the advanced capabilities of the 3D design software, TG Concepts customer base continued to grow along with the complexity of the projects.
