History
A passion for quality
EleMETAL Fabrication and Machine was founded in 1964 by Pete Dahlhauser originally as Pete’s Custom Metal, Inc. Pete was passionate about providing the highest quality sheet metal products at fair prices. His legacy of superior workmanship lives on in the business today.
In 1984, Pete’s son, Jack Dahlhauser, was promoted to manager, and Ken Burbach was promoted to foreman. Together, they expanded on the great work Pete’s Custom Metal was known for.
Ken took over the day-to-day operation of the business in 2007. In 2011, Jack retired, and Ken was promoted to vice president overseeing the complete operation of the business.
On the leading edge
- 2015: Andrew Stamp joined the team as general manager to take over day-to-day operation of the business.
- 2016: Pete’s Custom Metal went through a rebranding process and on Jan. 1 the company was renamed EleMETAL Fabrication and Machine.
- 2019: Andrew Stamp and partners purchased the business in March and Andrew became managing partner.
- 2021: In May, Ken Burbach fully retired from the business after 50 years of service!
EleMETAL purchased and moved to their current facility at 2263 Business Park Drive in Fremont, Nebraska.
The new facility was extensively remodeled and updated with bridge cranes, new power and LED lighting, ventilation and much more. The state-of-the-art facility’s main production center has over 35,000 square-feet of space and includes two large storage buildings and more than 17 acres of ground for future growth.
Significant equipment investment includes the Flow Mach 500 waterjet, a laser welding system, a Hurco VMX84i Mill, Hurco VMX30Di 5 Axis Mill and a Hurco TM18L Lathe.
The new facility and expanded lineup of equipment has positioned EleMETAL to serve our growing list of great customers for years to come!
