In high-mix B2B fabrication, maintaining tight lead times without compromising dimensional accuracy is a major operational bottleneck. For Saginaw, Texas-based Holloway Co., handling massive, complex parts is a daily reality. The shop regularly manufactures heavy-duty vessels up to 13 ft. (3.96 m) in diameter, 80 ft. (24.38 m) in length, and with weight capacities of up to 60,000 lbs (27.2 metric tons).
Serving sectors from aerospace and architectural to storage and agriculture, Holloway Co. frequently fabricates demanding ASME-code pressure vessels, partial data cylinders, and atmospheric tanks. Turning custom structural jobs around in just 7 to 10 days, and custom bending projects in 5 to 10 days, requires fabrication technology that eliminates scrap, prevents machine downtime, and maintains mechanical accuracy under extreme conditions.
The capabilities of Davi machines were proven when Holloway Co. manufactured one of its largest custom silos to date. Utilizing their Davi plate roll, which handles plate thicknesses up to 1.625 in. (41.28 mm), the shop rolled, cut, fabricated, and welded a massive 60-ft.-long (18.29 m) silo with a 15-ft. (4.57 m) diameter entirely in-house, delivering a flawless heavy-industrial asset to their customer on schedule.
