Some partnerships are built to last.
Applied Fabricators has been a family-owned operation since 1984, earning a reputation as leaders in sheet metal, glass and glazing, wall panels, roof edge, custom metal fabrications, and cold storage. For nearly four decades, Brandon and Michelle Reeve have built a company on the values that matter: dedication, craftsmanship, and taking care of their people.
Brotherhood Designs recognized a kindred spirit.
Flag #5 arrived at AFAB headquarters in January 2022—one of the earliest Brotherhood installations and a sign of the relationship forming between the two organizations. When Scott and Rob delivered that first flag, they found a company that understood what it means to build something with your hands and stand behind your work.
A year and a half later, they came back.
Flag #52, a Ladder Series piece crafted from retired fire hose, was unveiled at AFAB's community work and employee appreciation day in Greenfield. The event celebrated the team that keeps the company running—the fabricators, the installers, the people who show up every day and take pride in what they produce.
Two flags now hang at Applied Fabricators. Two symbols of craftsmanship honoring a company that's spent 40 years proving that family-owned businesses can compete with anyone when they refuse to cut corners.
Different trades. Same values. Brotherhood Designs and AFAB both understand that what you build with your hands carries your name—and that's reason enough to do it right.
