United Equipment & Fabricators

Plastic fabrication isn’t the kind of work you notice until you need it. United Equipment & Fabricators handles the behind-the-scenes custom jobs that keep local industries moving—think tanks, ductwork, guards, and enclosures. Their shop sits at 175 Orange St, Newark, NJ 07103, right where the industrial grid of the Ironbound meets the older brick streets. Call (973) 242-2737 when you’ve got a part that doesn’t exist yet or a prototype that needs to hold up in real-world conditions. They cut, weld, and shape everything from acrylic to polycarbonate; if it’s plastic and needs to be precise, they can probably make it. Pull up the map for directions before you head over—here’s the spot. Newark’s fabricators don’t always get the spotlight, but they’re the ones who build what everyone else relies on.
