Fabriweld was a steel fabricator specializing in roller coaster track formerly located in Clearfield, Utah, USA.[1]
The company was formed as a result of Arrow Dynamics's 1985 bankruptcy, essentially becoming an independent manufacturing division.[2][3]
History
Fabriweld was founded on June 29, 1987.[4]
On May 31, 2014, the state involuntarily dissolved the company.[5]
Projects
The company manufactured many of Arrow Dynamics' roller coasters.[2][3][6][7] Other clients include Vekoma, S&S Worldwide, and Lagoon.[8][9][10]
It is likely that Fabriweld was not the only steel fabricator involved in most of the projects listed.
