Helping the Shops Behind Central Ohio’s Big Growth

Columbus has seen a lot of big new projects. Some of the biggest names are:

  • Intel’s chip campus in Licking County
  • Anduril’s Arsenal-1 defense plant near Rickenbacker
  • The Honda and LG Energy Solution battery plant in Fayette County
  • More than 100 data centers around the city

This information comes from recent regional industry reports.

All these projects need parts at the same time, so local shops get very busy. Cutting, machining, bending and welding slots fill up fast, and waiting times can get longer. Small buyers often feel this first. A second shop one hour away gives you more choices.

What Columbus Projects Usually Need From a Metal Shop

Parts for new plants and data centers are often different from normal repeat orders. They usually need:

Parts ready by building and startup dates, not just order dates

Delivery to a plant, a contractor yard or a work site, sometimes in smaller batches

A mix of machined parts and large welded structures in one order

Drawings that keep changing while the project is moving fast

Every customer asks for different paperwork. Our ISO 9001:2015 process is explained in how every order gets inspected.

If your drawing has very tight size limits, read about tolerances and standards worth knowing before you send it to us.

Getting Your Parts From Marion to Columbus

Marion is on US-23. This road goes south and joins I-270 on the north side of Columbus. We do not have a walk-in shop in Columbus. Here is what that means for you:

  • It is about 50 miles, or about 1 hour by road, to downtown Columbus
  • We can arrange pickup and delivery across Central Ohio
  • You can visit our shop if your project is big or long-term
  • You can call us at (740) 914-4230 or email sales@rialtomfg.com

The only cost that changes for Columbus customers is shipping. All other costs depend on what affects machining job prices.
