Our History

PennFab, Inc. began on July 28, 1983 by Michael J. Mabin. With $2,500 to his name, a wife and three small children, Michael set out with a goal to build a company that he could be proud of, a company that would provide employment for his generation and the generation to follow. Mike’s passion for manufacturing began while serving in the Coast Guard and that passion followed him when he returned back home to Bucks County, PA. After working for other companies, he decided to venture out on his own and PennFab was born.

Sadly we lost Mike Sr. in 2018 after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. His son, Mike Jr. as well as the rest of the PennFab family have made sure that Mike Sr.’s life’s work continues with growth and success in his honor. The PennFab team makes sure there is not a job that leaves our shop that he wouldn’t be proud of and we all miss him every day.
