About Alloy Hardfacing and Engineering 

Alloy Hardfacing and Engineering has been providing solutions to process issues 1952, and operating at its current Jordan, Minnesota location since 1996.

Alloy is a Custom Fabrication Company that incorporates machining, grinding, fabrication, and welding processes to manufacture process equipment for food and food-related industries. We are proud of our history as both a Minnesota Custom Fabrication and Custom Welding Supplier.
 

In 2023 Alloy won an award from Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal in the Sustainability In Manufacturing Category, another feather in our hat!

Alloy forms carbon and stainless steel into various shapes and assemblies ranging from small parts weighing a few pounds to complete assemblies weighing in excess of 150 tons. Alloy works with materials from 16-18 gauge all the way up to and including 3 inches thickness.

While a smaller portion of our business, Alloy is equally proud of our history as a custom manufacturer, manufacturing a broad variety of products based on our designs to meet the needs of food production both domestically and worldwide.

In addition to manufacturing, during our nearly seventy-year history, Alloy has also functioned as an authorized rebuilding station, system integrator, and manufacturer's representative for companies such as Allbright Nell Company (ANCO), Rietz, Anderson International, and others.

Alloy products are marketed globally by our applications and sales staff maintained at its world headquarters in Jordan, Minnesota, U.S.A.
 

In 2022, Alloy is looking back over its 70-year history. This includes a search through company archives providing several chances to reflect on the journey to this point, as well as where the company is headed. Although names and faces have changed over the years, what has never changed is our commitment to providing high-quality equipment with reasonable investments and full support. Here's to 70 more!
