Fraser Steel bucks economic downturn by investing in big equipment

Fraser Steel, Albertville, Minn., a designer and manufacturer of precision tubular parts, recently acquired a large-capacity rotary draw bender.

The 12-ton bender enables the company to bend large pieces of round and square tubing, as well as solid steel bars that previously were too big to handle in-house. The bent parts are used primarily in cab enclosures on heavy equipment for agriculture and road construction.
