Custom metal fabrication and CNC machining with 800K+ sq ft of Wisconsin manufacturing
Robinson is a 950+-person employee-owned metal fabricator running two large Wisconsin plants with deep expertise in custom enclosures, precision machining, and ASME-certified pressure vessels. The tech stack is traditional manufacturing (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, SAP, Syteline) with active infrastructure work (automated patching, disaster recovery, fleet management software) and early-stage AI deployment — suggesting the business is modernizing operational systems while maintaining core fabrication capabilities. Manufacturing roles dominate hiring, but the project list reveals a shift toward process automation and shop-floor digitization.

Robinson designs and fabricates custom metal products — primarily enclosures and CNC-machined components — for industrial customers across multiple verticals. The company operates two facilities in De Pere and Manitowoc totaling over 800,000 square feet and holds ISO and ASME certifications for pressure vessels and piping. As an employee-owned business founded in 1975, Robinson combines hand-built craftsmanship with computer-aided design (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and enterprise planning tools (SAP, Syteline). Current operational priorities center on capacity management, inventory control, and process improvement across shipping, receiving, and shop-floor operations.
