About Us
Metalcraft, a locally owned CNC machining shop in Asheville, NC, has a long and fascinating history. The company was founded in 1967 by three co-workers who had worked together at the CTS Plan in Arden NC. These men had a vision of starting their own business, and so they pooled their resources and purchased obsolete metalworking equipment from their employer. They refurbished those machines and used them to found a small machine shop in Asheville, NC. After about a year, Ralph Coates, one of the founders, bought out the other two and became the sole owner of the company. Ralph and his son David operated the business on a part-time basis until 1989 when it was incorporated as Metalcraft Corp. and began to transition to a state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing facility.
For over 50 years, Metalcraft has remained a thriving business, thanks to its commitment to quality and its dedication to its customers. Today, Metalcraft is one of the most respected and successful CNC machining shops in the region, supporting high-demand, low-tolerance industries, from heating and cooling and automotive, to electrical, medical devices, and more. Metalcraft has built a stellar reputation in the local community for their exceptional attention to detail and customer service. Their dedication to providing superior machining services has earned them a loyal customer base who trusts them to deliver high-quality products on time and on budget.
