Welcome to
​Key West Metal

Key West Metal Industries ("KWMI") has been in business for over 35 years. In that time KWMI has evolved from a sheet metal fabrication shop to a fully equipped turnkey industrial metal fabrication and installation shop, signatory to multiple unions, with 24/7 availability for our customers.
Our highly-skilled workforce can complete nearly any turnaround or talent request. Additionally, with no need to subcontract, our fabrication shop delivers cost reductions that further benefit our customers. Our competition simply cannot compete with our response time or our our breadth of available services.
Our extensive skilled labor profile and always-available approach are two key attributes that distinguish KWMI from our competitors.
