Young Floyd Sr. as a teen, years before he founded Metal Works Corp.
The story begins in 1956, when a young WWII Navy veteran returned home with machining skills honed under uniquely demanding conditions.
Floyd Saizon, Sr., who enlisted around age 16 and served aboard the USS Jason, a repair ship that performed maintenance on damaged vessels while at sea, spent his service years in the ship's machine shop. There, he learned precision, resourcefulness and the value of reliable workmanship.
Those skills became the foundation for the business he launched after completing his military service. What started as a small machine shop grew steadily as customer needs evolved, ultimately becoming Metal Works Corp. The company's early focus on machining expanded into pipe bending and rolling, supporting industrial clients that required custom bends and formed components. As energy and petrochemical markets advanced, Metal Works added ASME-coded coil and vessel fabrication, strengthening its ability to deliver compliant, high-performance products for O&G, chemical and related industries.
Today, Metal Works Corp. stands as a full-service industrial fabrication partner. Its core capabilities include precision pipe and tube bending and coiling, structural bending of angle, bar, beam, channel and square or rectangular tubing and custom metal forming and fabrication across a wide range of projects and materials.
The company also offers in-house welding services, machining and specialized spring production, enabling it to deliver both simple and complex components built to exact specifications. Its machine shop produces specialty springs in all alloys, custom rotating mechanical seals and other precision parts that support industrial applications from plant construction to maintenance and repair.
A hallmark of Metal Works' service mix is its ability to fabricate ASME-code vessels and other pressure-bearing components essential to operations where safety, compliance and performance are non-negotiable. These capabilities allow the company to support a broad range of sectors, including energy, petrochemical, marine and civil infrastructure.
Through each stage of growth, the company has maintained the same practical approach that guided its earliest days: understand the work, meet the specifications and deliver products that hold up in the field. That mindset, formed in a Navy machine shop and carried through decades of industrial service, remains central to how Metal Works operates today.
As the company marks its 70th anniversary, its focus remains firmly on supporting customers with the quality, consistency and technical expertise they expect, while continuing to innovate, adapt and deliver solutions that keep the O&G and industrial sectors running smoothly.
