State of the Art Steel Bending Facility
Albina Co., Inc. takes pride in running a clean, lean, efficient steel bending production and steel fabrication shop.  Albina Co., Inc. spends a considerable amount of time on research and development creating steel bending procedures that accommodate our customer's ever changing needs. In an effort to produce higher quality bent products, we constantly look to improve or purchase steel bending and fabricating equipment that produces unusual, non-conforming products without spending our customer's money. Every piece of steel bending equipment that Albina owns has been engineered and upgraded to perform beyond known industry specifications.

Induction Heating Process Creates Near 4D Bend
Albina Co., Inc. was recently tasked with forming 10” Sch80 pipe to a 50” center line radius. That is nearly a 4D bend! Our new induction heating source and bending process has helped us expand the material range we can work with and the radii that we can bend. It has allowed us meet the “induction only” heating requirements that certain projects specify. Call us today to learn more!

Structural Steel Bending at Peterson Auto Museum
Albina Co., Inc. bent 36 pieces of 6 5/8" OD X .375" wall round steel tubing and 384 pieces of 6" SCH80 6061-T6 ALUM to create the unique shape for the Peterson Auto Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Albina cut, bent and trimmed all pieces per the provided drawings. While most of the bent material was covered with the "skin" of the building, the bent steel parts are what gave the museum its' unique shape and appearance. Every part was slightly different and needed to be processed to very tight tolerances. Photos courtesy of Zahner.
