LFM has a long history of working with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to expand their manufacturing capabilities or to develop new products or product line extensions. A vital part of this process is the fabrication of molds for FRP fabrication. To serve this need, LFM maintains a complete staff of highly skilled mold fabricators located across the U.S.

Inside Sales Staff
Where project take-offs and quotations are required, LFM provides specialists in wastewater manholes & wetwells, chemical storage tanks, oilfield tanks, scrubbers, process vessels and piping systems. When you’re ready to place your order into production, a project manager will be assigned to your project to coordinate the preparation of shop drawings, schedule production and arrange for delivery of your structures directly to your jobsite.

Where aging FRP structures such as chemical storage tanks or process vessels need inspection, rehabilitation or relining, our field service crews are ready to help. LFM’s field service technicians are trained in OSHA confined space safety procedures. Where required, TWIC-certified field technicians are also available.
