Lincoln County Fabricators was started by the late Jerry F. Carpenter in 1972. What started
out as a 1-man welding operation in Jerry’s backyard has now grown into a world-wide leader
in the selling and manufacturing of textile tube creels, sock creels, cloth inspection
machines, material handling equipment as well as many other textile related products. In
addition, LCF has diversified into one of the largest and vertically integrated metal
processing job shop/contract manufacture in North Carolina. Our current location is a 55,000
sq. ft facility located at 513 Jason Rd in Lincolnton, NC. Still a family owned and operated
business, the day-to-day operations of the company are overseen by Jerry’s two grandsons,
Kenny Jr. and Jason Carpenter.
