Create beautiful and purposeful metal art to enhance zoo-goers’ experiences.
In 2018, we partnered with Lincoln Children’s Zoo to enhance the public-facing structures near the giraffe and red panda exhibits. The design process involved close collaboration with Lincoln Children’s Zoo, ensuring each piece met the Zoo’s specifications. Our team brought their vision to life, including a unique privacy fence designed to mimic the look of tall grass, as well as a new donor wall, draft barn, and event stage.
The chance to feed the giraffes and observe the playful red pandas are highlights of every visit to the Zoo. These major attractions, located at the entrance and exit, create lasting memories for visitors, especially children. The privacy fence, donor wall, draft barn, and event stage all contribute to making a great first impression and an unforgettable experience for all.
In 2022, Lincoln Children’s Zoo welcomed nearly 350,000 visitors and earned acclaim from Parents Magazine, ranking among the best children’s zoos. Before its expansion, many exhibits had remained unchanged for years. The Zoo now houses over 400 animals, including 40 endangered species. The expansion ensures families will continue to visit Lincoln Children’s Zoo again and again.
OEM supply chain strategy in 2026 requires more than lower prices or fewer suppliers. Learn how total-cost analysis, selective consolidation, regional sourcing, reliable data, supplier-risk planning, and early engineering collaboration can improve resilience without creating new concentration risks.
Consistent powder coating depends on a controlled system-not appearance alone. Learn how surface preparation, powder selection, application, cure validation, film-thickness measurement, and project-specific inspection standards affect finish quality and rework risk.
The term turnkey does not explain which processes are performed internally, how capacity is planned, or what the quoted price includes. Use this practical checklist to evaluate process scope, quality, engineering support, accountability, and total program cost before choosing a manufacturing partner.
Precision sheet metal forming at production volume requires more than capable equipment. Learn how material controls, repeatable setups, tooling management, springback compensation, and in-process inspection produce consistent results.
A strong OEM procurement strategy does more than reduce purchase prices. It lowers supplier risk, improves production consistency, and builds a supply chain that continues performing when disruptions occur.
Aluminum fabrication services can vary significantly in material knowledge, production capabilities, and quality consistency. Learn what OEMs should demand from a fabrication partner before committing to production.
Choosing a turnkey manufacturer for complex OEM production requires more than comparing quotes. Learn which criteria separate reliable production partners from manufacturers that may create problems as your program grows.
Choosing between metal fabrication companies in the USA requires more than comparing prices. Learn how to evaluate capabilities, quality, experience, capacity, and communication.
Unit price does not reveal the complete cost of metal manufacturing. Compare full-service manufacturing with piecemeal sourcing across freight, quality, coordination, and lead time.
