Fabritex: From Backyard Startup to Nationwide Fabrication Partner

Fabritex traces its beginnings to 1989 in Hart County, where Andy Adams launched a trampoline business that grew into a more comprehensive metal fabrication company. Today, this second-generation family business is led by Lee Adams. Its work now spans markets worldwide, supporting clients such as the PGA Tour, Formula 1, and FIFA, while also producing community fixtures such as benches throughout Hartwell and contributing to local projects like the Lake Hartwell Wildlife Safari, reflecting its true small-town-to-global reach.

How it evolved: Over time, the company’s operations shifted into producing wire carriers, stem packs, and structural components used across wire and cable, event infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing sectors.

Local investment: The company remains deeply connected to Hart County, contributing to local schools, businesses, and community development, while supporting regional manufacturing jobs.

Reputation: A commitment to craftsmanship, durability, and quality has earned Fabritex long-term customer relationships and made it a trusted fabrication partner nationwide.
