Our Story

Elite Fabz started in a single-car garage, driven by a passion to build new ideas and improve upon old ones. It was founded for the sake of providing Rapid City and the surrounding area with welding and fabrication services for unique projects that often require CAD design and specialized equipment. Our founder, Andy Sumners, began his career in CAD design as a drafter and modeler/designer for Caterpillar for nearly 10 years. While working that job full-time, he spent his nights and weekends in his single-car garage welding and fabricating projects for individuals and eventually local businesses. When the dream eventually got so big that he was spending more hours per week welding and fabricating than he was working for Caterpillar, a decision had to be made. In January of 2021, Andy and his brother, Aaron, opened a shop together to provide customers in Rapid City and the surrounding areas with their expertise in welding/fabrication and the automotive industry. Together, they have grown their business to provide even more specialized services to better serve the Rapid City area. Their goal is to continue expanding and providing quality, friendly service that their customers can trust and depend on.
