    What do you need fabricated? You sure you need 316 alloy?

    WTH woudl anyone want anything stainless done in red China... or even Taiwan.

    Over the years I ve had a number of SS things fabricated here in Miami... never been an issue.

    my experience with Taiwan SS wasn’t good. Can’t imagine what the chicoms make.

    Go to your local steel supply house (I use Alro Steel in SE USA) and ask someone at counter sales to recommend a good fabrication shop for the particular product you’re interested in. Should steer you in right direction

    I ran a Taiwan built yacht, I have never seen such shoddy welding, very ugly. Just get a local fabricator, it's probably cheaper in the long run.

    Oh, and one of our welders in the the Shipyard won a European award for waving a stick around.
