Fabfile Online has released its annual Top 50 rankings of North American fabricators.

Sales estimates are not included, but they range from $596 million down to $13 million.

This time, the North American Top 50 boasts two new features. Companies that both fabricate and assemble are marked with an asterisk. Those that provide laser direct imaging, a mark of distinction, are marked with two asterisks.

Fabfile Online customers can locate these firms by searching on assembly in the “affiliates” field, and by searching on LDI in the “specialties” field.

You’ll notice that 30 of the North American Top 50 companies perform both fab and assembly services. Because they comprise such a special group as we look to the future of the industry, Fabfile is preparing a special report on these companies, scheduled for publication at http://www.FabfileOnline.com in January 2009.
