Commercial kitchen equipment fabrication

Restaurant and food service stainless fabrication: work tables, prep stations, exhaust-hood shells, sinks, and equipment stands, cut and welded to print.

Restaurant & Food Service

Restaurant and food service stainless fabrication is the build-to-print metalwork behind a commercial kitchen: the work tables, prep stations, hood shells, sinks, and equipment stands a kitchen is built around. Nevatronix Sheet Metal cuts, forms, and welds these pieces in 304 and 316 stainless for Las Vegas hospitality operators, kitchen equipment dealers, and restaurant groups, to the design and finish the customer’s print specifies.

What we fabricate for Las Vegas hospitality kitchens

  • Stainless work tables. Formed and welded tables and undershelf assemblies to your dimensions.
  • Prep stations. Work surfaces with sinks, cutouts, and mounting features built into the same piece.
  • Exhaust-hood shells. Formed and welded hood bodies and grease-duct transitions to your design.
  • Sinks and splash panels. Formed basins and welded back-splash and wall panels.
  • Equipment stands. Structural stands and bases that carry cooking and refrigeration equipment at the height your layout calls for.
  • Custom stainless pieces. One-off fabrications for high-end restaurant builds — trim, panels, and fixtures that do not come off a catalog.

What stainless grade and thickness does the part need?

304 stainless covers most work tables, sinks, and equipment stands; 316 (316L on request) is the call where chloride exposure or aggressive washdown chemicals are part of the daily cleaning routine. Most gauge for tabletops and panels falls well inside our capability envelope, so the thickness decision is driven by rigidity and dent resistance rather than any process limit. On the forming side, our press brakes hold stainless up to 6 mm at ±0.5° bend angle, and flat blanks come off our sister site’s stainless laser cutting cell, which cuts stainless up to 6 mm at ±0.05 mm tolerance with a nitrogen-assist edge that stays oxide-free and weld-ready. That clean edge matters on a visible kitchen surface — it welds cleanly and finishes without extra prep.

How do you finish stainless for a visible kitchen surface?

Every visible weld is ground and blended flush so the seam reads continuous rather than as a bead sitting on top of the surface — the difference between a table that looks welded and one that looks fabricated as a single piece. Standard finishes are #4 brushed for most work-surface and panel faces, #2B mill finish where a smoother, less textured surface is called for, and polished on request; passivation and electropolish are available through finishing where the print specifies it. Stainless is welded in dedicated bays with separate consumables to keep it free of carbon-steel contamination, and the finish is called out and matched across every panel on a multi-piece install so a hood, a table, and a splash panel from the same job read as one finish.

Do you build to NSF/ANSI 2 — and where is the line?

We fabricate to NSF/ANSI 2 design requirements when the customer’s print specifies them — material grade, weld profile, and finish selected to meet the standard. We are not an NSF-listed equipment manufacturer: the listing and certification mark belong to the company that owns and lists the equipment design, and we build to that design rather than certifying our own. We also do not install equipment or build refrigeration systems — plumbing, gas, electrical hookup, and refrigeration are outside our scope and stay with your kitchen equipment dealer or contractor.

Documentation for a multi-unit rollout

A restaurant group standardizing a work table or hood design across several properties needs the tenth unit to match the first, not just look close to it. Every production order carries a first-article inspection, and lot traceability runs through a MIE Trak Pro ERP so a revision to the design — a different sink cutout, a taller backsplash — is controlled and re-verified on a new first article before the rest of the rollout ships. That is the same quality system we run for our gaming and fintech production customers, applied to a stainless prep table instead of a cabinet.

Volumes, lead times, and Las Vegas logistics

Work ranges from a single custom piece to a multi-property rollout for a restaurant group, at production volumes from 1 to 50,000 units. Lead time runs roughly 3-4 weeks for basic piece parts and 10-12 weeks for complex welded assemblies, with rush turnaround available; a single flat-cut blank can turn in 48-72 hours on the sister laser cell before it reaches our forming and welding floor. Being based in Las Vegas keeps that timeline short for the hospitality operators, kitchen dealers, and contractors building here, with Henderson and the wider Southwest reachable on the same short lead times and the rest of the continental US by standard freight.

Send a DXF or STEP with material, gauge, quantity, and the finish you need to our quote page; tell us the grade and any NSF/ANSI 2 callouts on the print, and if a piece is a better fit for a different process or shop, we will say so.

Frequently asked questions

Do you fabricate NSF-compliant food service equipment?
We fabricate to NSF/ANSI 2 design requirements when the customer supplies them on the print — material grade, weld profile, and finish selected to meet the standard. We are not an NSF-listed equipment manufacturer ourselves; the listing and certification mark stay with the equipment maker who owns the design.
What stainless finishes do you offer?
#4 brushed for most cosmetic work-surface and panel faces, #2B mill finish where a smoother, less textured surface is called for, and polished finish on request. Welds are ground and blended flush so the finish reads continuous across the seam.
What stainless grades do you fabricate?
304 for general-purpose work tables, sinks, and equipment stands, and 316 (316L on request) where chloride exposure or heavy washdown chemicals are a factor in daily cleaning. Both cut and weld the same way; the choice is about corrosion service, not process.
Can you build exhaust-hood shells?
Yes. Exhaust-hood shells are formed and welded stainless, with seams ground and blended flush. We fabricate the shell to your hood design and grease-duct specification; hood listing and duct sizing stay with the equipment maker or mechanical engineer of record.
Do you build custom one-off pieces for restaurant projects?
Yes — custom work tables, splash panels, and hospitality-specific stainless pieces are common work here. A single flat-cut blank can turn in 48-72 hours on our sister laser cell before it comes here for forming, welding, and finishing.
Do you install kitchen equipment on site?
No. We fabricate and finish the stainless components and ship them; installation, plumbing, and gas or electrical connection are handled by your kitchen equipment dealer or contractor.
What volumes can you run for a restaurant group rollout?
From a single custom piece up to a multi-property rollout, at production volumes from 1 to 50,000 units under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system and MIE Trak Pro lot traceability. Lead time runs roughly 3-4 weeks for basic piece parts and 10-12 weeks for complex welded assemblies, with rush turnaround available.
Are you NSF-listed or health-code certified as a manufacturer?
No. We are a UL-listed shop operating under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, and we build to the NSF/ANSI 2 requirements and material or finish callouts a customer's design specifies; the product listing belongs to the company that owns and lists the equipment design, not to us.
