Custom Aluminum Equipment & Flexible Manufacturing

Stress-Free Customization: Modifications Tailored to Your Workflow

At New Age Industrial, we believe small modifications shouldn't carry massive price tags or unreasonable lead times. Through our Flexible Manufacturing Process, we extrude, fabricate, and assemble our own aluminum in-house, controlling the entire manufacturing process from start to finish under one roof in Norton, Kansas.

Whether you need a unit wider, narrower, taller, shorter, or engineered around precise box and tote dimensions, our complete raw material independence and expert engineering team make New Age Industrial the premier choice for custom material handling and foodservice solutions.

How Our Customization Process Works

From Napkin Sketch to Field-Tested Reality

All you need to do is share some information with us and we'll handle the rest.

Designing custom aluminum equipment is simple. Whether you have detailed CAD drawings or just a hand-drawn sketch, our engineering team works directly with you to turn operational challenges into durable, high-performing equipment.

1

Have an Equipment Idea?

You have an equipment need that requires a custom solution—whether you already have a concept in mind or need help designing one from scratch—because a standard catalog item doesn't exist yet.

2

Sketch Your Equipment Idea.

Roughly sketch out your idea for new equipment. Don't have a drawing? That's okay! Share existing blueprints, specs, photos of your current setup, or simply describe what you need, and our team will take it from there.

3

Explain Your Equipment Idea.

Tell us about your project, specifications, required quantities, timeline, and custom operational needs. Describe how the unit will be used or the specific workflow problem you need to solve.

4

Submit Your Equipment Idea!

Visit our Build Together page to submit your project details. We'll connect you directly with an in-house engineer to discuss your needs, answer questions, and bring your custom design to life!

Featured Case Study | Model #53155

Custom Chicken Breading Station for a National Restaurant Chain

The Challenge: A national QSR sandwich chain needed a specialized, space-saving chicken breading station designed around proprietary container dimensions and tight prep-line footprints.

The Solution: Starting from a hand-drawn concept sketch with container measurements, our engineering team refined the layout through collaborative design passes, producing a field-tested, heavy-duty aluminum cart now deployed across national store locations.
