Though the name “Milling Machinery, Inc.” (now MMI Industrial and Steel) was not developed and incorporated until 1974, the company began to take shape two years prior. It was in 1972 that Clifton Pinckard set out as a welder in his pick-up truck with a dream. Today, MMI remains one of the largest employers in Mesa, Arizona, with diverse steel fabrication capabilities in our AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) certified facilities for structural steel and miscellaneous metals. The two shops, situated on over 75,000 square feet of real estate, boast a combined fabrication capacity of 300 – 500 tons of steel per year.
MMI’s success in the steel fabrication industry has afforded us the opportunity to outfit our fabrication facilities with some of the best tools in the business. Our top-shelf equipment has allowed for automation of certain work processes, timeliness, and unsurpassed quality. To help us stay ahead of our competition we have invested millions of dollars into the following equipment:

The MMI difference is found, not only in our equipment, but in our shops themselves and in our employees. Our AISC certification ensures that we are committed to using the highest quality materials and adhere to strict processes and high standards for fabrication, as set forth by AISC. We commit to having the personnel, knowledge, organization, experience, and capability to produce high quality work. We have a dedicated Quality Assurance staff and apply our Quality Management System (QMS) throughout the project. This quality commitment creates peace of mind with owners, engineers, and general contactors knowing we follow standards that include policy and procedures, organized documentation, certified welding staff, and functioning equipment. Coupled with our full-service project management team, MMI is confidently accountable for all project outcomes, regardless of the size and type.
