About OFAIS
From one welding machine
to broader industrial capability.
OFAIS began in Tomball in 2016 and has grown to support commercial, industrial and governmental organizations with fabrication, welding, machining and inspection-minded industrial services.
The OFAIS story
Started small. Built by earning the next job.
Onward Fabrications & Industrial Services, LLC was incorporated in Texas in 2016. The company started with a single welding machine in a Tomball garage, serving a small group of customers in Northwest Houston.
As the work grew, so did the capability. Today OFAIS supports custom fabrication and welding for commercial, industrial and governmental organizations, with additional machining, inspection and project-support capabilities that help move a scope from drawing to finished work.
That growth has not changed the operating idea: understand what the customer actually needs, apply the right process, communicate clearly and deliver work that is ready for the next step.
