February 2017 – AT&F has been featured in the leading industry journal The Fabricator as their "Fabricator of the Year" for 2017. This coveted award was given for excellence across the enterprise in operational improvements, business success, and contributions to the community. The award comes just over a year after beginning operations in Manitowoc, WI, Massillon, OH, and a new facility in India and highlights improvements as well as long-standing methods of operation that have provided stable ground for growth in the 21st century.

The journal draws attention to their expansion into India and Europe. It goes on to explain how AT&F's enterprise mindset has driven robust growth, as well as a culture that has supported it. AT&F's leadership has provided a strong foundation for investment in bigger and better equipment as evidenced by some of the largest press brakes and rolls in the world.

"We are honoured and humbled by this recognition by The Fabricator," President and CEO Michael Forde Ripich remarks. "We could not have done it without our customers and the quality they demand."
