General Dynamics Land Systems anchors a defence-vehicle supply chain, with food processing, agricultural equipment and rail work behind it. Being outside the GTA, you are usually buying local capacity rather than fighting for a slot in the Toronto queue, which tends to help on lead time.
Metal fabrication cuts, forms and welds sheet, plate and structural stock into finished assemblies. Sourcing metal fabrication in London? Made to Spec matches your job to vetted Canadian shops. Describe your part once, process, material, tolerance, quantity and any required certifications, and our team routes your RFQ to shops that can actually make it, then comes back with 3 to 5 quotes. It is free for buyers, with no account needed, and your drawing stays in Canada.
The attributes that decide a good match are the specific process, the materials a shop is tooled and experienced for, the tolerance class they can hold, and, for regulated work, their certifications. An AS9100 shop is effectively mandatory for aerospace parts, ISO 13485 for medical devices, and IATF 16949 for automotive production. We confirm those before we route your job.
London shops quote mid-size structural, equipment and food-grade work without the GTA backlog, and freight back into southwestern Ontario is short. For defence flow-down, settle weld procedures, traceability and inspection level before the drawing goes out; for food and process work, confirm the stainless grade and finish, because sanitary and washdown jobs are specified very differently from general plant steel.
Fabrication cost is driven by material, cut length, number of bends and welds, and finishing. Laser and waterjet time is priced by cut length and thickness; forming by bend count and setup; welding by joint length and prep. Batching parts and keeping bend counts down lowers unit cost.
One RFQ instead of cold-calling ten shops. We only route to Canadian shops we have vetted for the specific capability and certifications your job needs, so the quotes you get back are from shops that can genuinely fulfill the work.

AS9100 is the aerospace quality standard and is effectively mandatory for flight and defence parts. It builds on ISO 9001 with added requirements for traceability, risk and configuration management. Tell us if your part needs it and we only route to certified shops.
Prototype and short-run work often turns in 1 to 2 weeks; production runs typically run 2 to 4 weeks depending on material availability, finishing and shop capacity. Share your timeline in the RFQ and we prioritise shops that can hit it.
Yes. Under CUSMA, qualifying parts move tariff-free across the border. Ask for cross-border-ready shops and we route to ones that already handle the customs documentation and freight.
The Controlled Goods Program (CGP) is Canada's domestic industrial security program under the Defence Production Act. A shop that examines, possesses or transfers controlled goods or controlled technical data in Canada must be CGP-registered. If your part or its drawings are controlled goods, common in defence and some aerospace work, we route only to registered shops.
