In June of 1975, Donnie Sargent started Sargent Metal Fabricators. Donnie's dad, JD Sargent came shortly after that. They equipped their shop with select machines and a desire to become a quality driven metal fabrication shop. Many of their initial jobs were in the textile industry. Sargent continued to grow over the years and made many products that included armored trucks and fire trucks. It was in the early 1990s when Donnie realized that Sargent needed to invest in CNC equipment to stay competitive and to grow in other markets. Sargent bought its first CNC laser punch machine in the early 1990s. Today, Sargent continues to invest by buying machines with the latest technology available, to better serve their customers.In 2003, Sargent moved from its Standridge Road location to its present location at Airport Road in Anderson, SC. It is an 80,000 square-foot facility located on a 21-acre campus. Today, the Standridge Road facility serves as The Sargent Innovation Center.Donnie's stepson Tim, started working at Sargent as a teenager, becoming the third generation to work in the family business. In 2011, Tim became President and CEO of Sargent Metal. Tim continues to focus on providing custom metal fabrication solutions with state-of-the-art and automated equipment. Today over 150 people are proud to call Sargent Metal home and we are proud to serve customers in over 30 states and 3 countries.
