The Harold Higman Fabrication Center - 3 Generations of Grit
The Harold Higman Fabrication Center isn’t just a new facility — it’s a tribute to our roots. Named after Harold Higman Sr. and Jr., it honors their creativity, innovation, and the spirit that built Masaba.
This building now centralizes all fabrication processes — bending, cutting, and more — and its office space supports production, engineering, electrical operations, and metal sales.
At our original facility, we’ve added new welding and assembly bays in the former machine shop. Most office staff remain there, and we continue welding, assembly, and paint. With the new dedicated fabrication center and added space, our overall capacity has grown significantly.
