Architectural Fabrication and Armetco Systems have announced a strategic merger of their operations, bringing together two North Texas–based companies to form a unified platform providing architectural metal solutions to customers nationwide.
Architectural Fabrication is based in Fort Worth, while Armetco Systems operates out of Justin.
According to the announcement, the merger formalizes a long-standing partnership between the companies and is intended to deliver greater scale, operational efficiency, and expanded solutions across architectural cladding, fabrication, and specialty aluminum products for the architectural, construction, design, and development communities.
Leadership roles across the combined organization will remain unchanged. Jeff Cash will continue as CEO, while Jeff Kenny will continue as owner.
“This merger represents a natural next step for our businesses,” Cash said in a statement. “We've worked alongside each other for years, and formalizing this alignment allows us to serve our customers with greater consistency, speed, and depth.”
As part of the merger, Ryan Martin, previously president of Armetco Systems, has been named global chief sales officer. In that role, he will oversee sales strategy across Architectural Fabrication, Armetco Systems, and Alumination Architectural Products, a national distributor of specialty wood-look planks, battens, and cladding profiles.
“The goal has always been to build something bigger than any one brand,” Martin said. “By unifying our teams and capabilities, we're creating a platform that builds on Armetco's legacy while positioning us across all divisions for long-term growth, innovation, and solutions for the complex issues our customers face every day.”
Scott Stewart has been appointed vice president of sales for both Armetco Systems and Alumination Architectural Products. Kevin Wampler will oversee operations and production across the combined manufacturing platforms as vice president of operations.
“This alignment gives us the leadership depth and operational clarity needed to scale responsibly,” Kenny said. “We're investing in people, systems, and facilities to ensure our customers experience the benefits immediately.”
The companies said the merger will not affect existing customer relationships, contracts, or project teams. Customers are expected to continue working with the same contacts while gaining access to a broader and more integrated organization.
