ART CRAFT FABRICATORS INC

ART CRAFT FABRICATORS INC specializes in precision manufacturing and repair of mission-critical marine propulsion components for U.S. Navy vessels, with deep expertise in high-strength fastener systems, shafting assemblies, and bearing raft repairs. The company fabricates and supplies custom steel alloy bolts, nuts, and couplings for warship propulsion systems, including DDG-51 class destroyers and LSD-51 class dock landing ships, ensuring compliance with stringent naval engineering standards. Their technical capabilities extend to machining complex cast rings and fabricating submarine and propulsion shafts, demonstrating proficiency in CNC machining, metallurgical specification adherence, and precision fit-for-purpose component assembly. Their differentiation lies in the ability to deliver mission-essential fasteners and shaft components under tight operational timelines, often for vessels in active fleet maintenance cycles. The contractor maintains a consistent and exclusive relationship with the Department of Defense, primarily supporting naval shipyards and fleet maintenance commands. Their work directly enables the repair, modernization, and sustainment of surface combatants and amphibious platforms, with a focus on propulsion system integrity and mechanical reliability. Industry focus centers on shipbuilding and repairing (NAICS 336611) and fastener manufacturing (332722), positioning the company as a niche supplier to the naval defense industrial base. They serve as a trusted source for high-tolerance, corrosion-resistant mechanical components critical to submarine and surface ship propulsion systems, operating at the intersection of precision machining and naval engineering. ART CRAFT FABRICATORS INC is a small business based in Portsmouth, Virginia, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to major naval infrastructure enhances responsiveness to urgent fleet requirements, reinforcing their role as a reliable, hands-on fabricator within the defense supply chain.
