Industries We Serve
At Anoco Metal Services, we support manufacturers across multiple heavy-duty and highly regulated industries that rely on precision-ground plate steel. Whether you're operating in high-pressure environments, producing mission-critical components, or managing large-scale fabrication demands, our team delivers consistent tolerances, fast turnaround, and reliable results.
Below are the industries that most commonly depend on our precision grinding capabilities.
Oil & Gas Industry
Precision-ground plate steel for high-pressure, high-heat environments
The oil and gas sector demands dependable components that perform under extreme conditions. From equipment frames and pump bases to process skids and structural plates, we deliver consistent flatness and tolerance accuracy that upstream, midstream, and downstream operations require.
Our work helps reduce machining time, improve assembly precision, and extend component longevity across refineries, pipelines, and extraction equipment.
Medical manufacturers rely on ultra-consistent tolerances and surface accuracy for equipment bases, production line components, and precision fixtures.
Medical & Healthcare Manufacturing
High-accuracy grinding for medical equipment, tooling, and production systems
Our grinding services support:
-
Diagnostic equipment frames
-
Surgical equipment platforms
-
Medical device production tooling
-
Stainless and specialty alloy plates
​
We help medical manufacturers streamline machining workflows and reduce finishing operations.
Heavy Equipment & OEM Fabrication
Grinding services for CAT-style equipment builders, fabricators, and suppliers
Large equipment builders depend on perfectly flat, evenly dimensioned plates that fit seamlessly into high-load assemblies.
We commonly support:
-
Bulldozer and excavator components
-
Heavy frames and wear plates
-
Manufacturing jigs and fixtures
-
Fabricated assemblies requiring precise starting stock
​
​​Our ability to handle oversized plates makes us a go-to grinding partner in heavy machinery and industrial fabrication.
Defense & Military Applications
Reliable tolerances for mission-critical manufactured components
Defense contractors need material accuracy they can trust. We work with manufacturers producing components used in military vehicles, equipment platforms, armor systems, and support infrastructure.
​
We adhere to strict specifications and produce consistently flat plate stock that integrates cleanly into downstream machining and assembly workflows.
Food & Beverage Processing
Precision grinding for sanitary, stainless, and corrosion-resistant applications
Food processing equipment relies on stainless and specialty alloys that must remain flat, clean, and uniform for hygienic and operational reasons.
We support manufacturers producing:
-
Food processing machinery frames
-
Conveyor system components
-
Stainless structural plates
-
Packaging equipment bases
​
Our grinding ensures consistency and reduces rework during fabrication.
General Manufacturing & Industrial Production
Precision-ground plates for shops of all sizes
Beyond our core sectors, we serve a wide range of manufacturers that rely on precision grinding to improve the performance and efficiency of their machining operations.
