Architectural Metal Fabricators, Inc. was founded by Gam Kagan in 1994. During the past 30 years, we have completed thousands of custom-fabricated, ornamental metal and glass architectural projects for our clients, most of them in NYC.
Like all good success stories, our humble beginnings were in a small shop in Brooklyn, where we cut our teeth on ever-larger and more complicated projects. Our good name, and reputation started catching on, and we built the business organically, adding skilled manpower, and sophisticated machinery as we grew. Eventually, we moved to a much larger factory in Carteret, NJ to handle even larger, more intricate projects. The move tripled our square-footage, enabling us to work more efficiently on multiple large projects at the same time.
Architectural Metal Fabricators, Inc’s client base includes some of the most renowned general contractors, architects, and real estate firms in New York City.
