At FAB 3R, everything is oversized: our facilities, our equipment, the parts we make, repair and refurbish, and our entire range of services! We manage your projects from A to Z—from manufacture to delivery—with the same level of expertise and attention to quality we give all our products.
Machining
FAB 3R’s machining capacity will meet the needs of all your projects on large-sized equipment. Our machining shop alone is 65,000 square feet (6,048 m2) and houses not only traditional and digitally controlled machining equipment, but also stationary and portable drill presses and the equipment needed for high-precision machining like precision tables, inspection marble, and more. With these instruments, FAB 3R can provide tolerances not typically possible for large parts.
And even more importantly, the FAB 3R team has unmatched experience in machining very large parts. They can analyze your plans and work with your engineers and project managers to adapt them to provide the best machining solutions for your projects. Their goal is to prevent unpleasant surprises and help you identify potential cost increases or delays.

quality
Certifié ISO 9001 depuis 1995, FAB 3R accorde une très grande importance à la qualité de l’ensemble de nos services. L’autocontrôle mis en place démontre bien la responsabilisation et la rigueur de nos employés, le tout encadré par des inspecteurs qualifiés, certifiés ASME.
solutions
When there’s a problem with a large piece of equipment, replacing it isn’t always the best option. FAB 3R can, in its facility or at the client’s, assess every part of a piece of equipment before providing a full diagnosis.
At FAB 3R, we believe that all projects deserve a dedicated manager. Every project we take on is run by a project manager who works with the client throughout the entire process.
