MetalWorks Corporation's website describes a custom sheet metal fabrication and machining business in Hialeah, Florida, with design and engineering support. It also uses the name MetalWorks Engineering Corp. This profile focuses on the services documented at metalworkscorp.com, rather than assuming that similarly named businesses are the same supplier.

For a sourcing team, the main question is whether the company can support the specific path from a drawing or concept to the required finished component. The following overview identifies its published capabilities and suggests what to clarify in a quotation.
Identify the supplier and location
The official contact page lists MetalWorks Corporation at 1745 West 32 Place, Hialeah, Florida 33012, and provides a general-inquiry and RFQ route. Its company page likewise identifies Hialeah as the business location. Sources: contact page and company overview
This revision does not repeat the previous article's 1980s founding claim or employee range. The company's own biography describes Michael Silva starting MetalWorks Engineering in 2011, while another biography on that page refers to forming Metal Works Engineering Corp. in 2016. Those statements are not a sufficient basis for us to assert a single legal incorporation date. Source: company biographies
When requesting a quotation, confirm the legal entity named on the proposal and the manufacturing location. That is an editorial recommendation, not an assertion that the company's names indicate a problem.
Engineering support: clarify the design deliverable
MetalWorks says its engineering department uses SolidWorks and provides mechanical drawings, designs and CNC files. Its design page also describes concept development, CAD modeling, product engineering and rapid prototyping. Source: design and engineering
Our recommendation is to begin by stating whether the project is a build-to-print order or a design-development engagement. For build-to-print work, identify the controlled drawing revision. For design support, agree on the deliverables: for example, a model, drawing package or prototype for review. Ask who approves design changes and what must be signed off before production. A general offer of engineering support should not be treated as a guarantee of product suitability.
Fabrication and machining services
The company's metal-solutions page lists turret punching and laser cutting, forming, hardware insertion, welding, spot welding, polishing, graining, deburring, CNC turning and CNC machining. It specifically describes installing fasteners such as studs, nuts and standoffs into sheet metal. Source: metal fabrication services
The same page describes machining experience with metals including steel, aluminum, copper and brass, as well as plastics. We have not independently tested those capabilities, and we do not carry over claims that the shop can handle any geometry, tolerance or delivery schedule. Source: CNC turning and machining sections
For an RFQ, ask which operations are included in the proposed price and which require separate approval or outside processing. If the part requires both fabrication and machining, identify the finished dimensions and interfaces that matter to the assembly. Request a project-specific manufacturing and inspection plan rather than relying on a list of equipment alone.
Quality documentation should be project-specific
MetalWorks describes itself on its company page as ISO 9001:2015 certified. That is a company-published statement. This article does not independently confirm certificate validity, issuing body, expiry date or certified scope, and does not treat a website badge as proof of qualification for a particular job. Source: company overview
If certification or qualified inspection personnel are requirements for your order, request the relevant current documents directly and check them against your purchasing requirements. We also recommend identifying the inspection records and acceptance criteria expected with the shipment. These are suggested due-diligence steps, not a claim that any particular order requires a specific certification.
Before requesting a quote
Our suggested preparation checklist is:
- Provide the drawing revision, material specification and requested quantity.
- Identify required forming, machining, joining and finishing operations.
- Distinguish a prototype request from a repeat-production order.
- Specify the inspection documentation and packaging requirements.
- Confirm price, schedule, scope and change-approval terms in the written quotation.
Use the official MetalWorks contact page to begin an inquiry. This is a source-based supplier overview, not a factory audit, certification assessment or performance endorsement.
