Greenville, SC, October 12, 2022 — B&R Machining and Fabrication, with facilities in Travelers Rest and Piedmont, has added Flat Sheet Metal Cutting to their list of services. B&R recently added state-of-the-art Plasma Cutting equipment, which uses an ionized jet of gas to slice through a wide range of materials. The concentrated beam of plasma creates a clean sealed cut superior to oxygen-acetylene torch cutting.
“Flat sheet metal cutting is efficient, cost-effective, and automated. Other benefits include versatility, speed, precision cut quality, safety, variety of shapes and energy efficiency. Plasma cutting offers surface edge quality like laser cutting. Hole tolerance and feature tolerance are often similar and are offered at a more competitive price than laser cutting,” said B&R’s founder and President, Barry Ballew.
B&R serves multiple industries including automotive, electrical, mining, railroad, textile, waste management and more. With more than 45,000 square feet of manufacturing space, B&R maintains and operates a comprehensive array of modern machining, fabricating, and assembling operations, all in a safe, climate-controlled environment. In addition to flat sheet metal cutting, B&R offers CNC milling, turning capabilities, Metrology capabilities, and custom-specific machinery.
“B&R Machining is more than just a machine shop. It is a family; we show our family members how much we appreciate them and all they do for this great company,” explained Ballew. “At B&R, we also take corporate social responsibility very seriously. We are proud members of the Upstate business community and consider it a privilege to lend a helping hand to those who genuinely need it. Always looking for ways to make a difference where we live and work is central to our business philosophy and company culture.”
