AOP Metal Fabricators, LLC

Crossett, AR

AOP started in 1970 as Arkansas Oregon Pneumatics, building pneumatic conveying systems for plywood plants going up across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia. Harold Owery and Jim Livesey named that company. The Crossett shop still traces to that mill work. Today it is AOP Metal Fabricators, LLC: structural steel, plate, tanks, pneumatic duct, handrail, and coatings. More than 50,000 square feet of fab space sits on 12 acres at 162 Wood Street. The floor has a Lincoln Electric Python X robotic beam line, a 14-by-24 CNC plasma table that cuts from 24 gauge to 4-inch plate, a 500-ton CNC press brake, and five overhead cranes. The shop is AISC certified.
