Henry T. Sonner, Founder and Previous Owner of A & S Fabricating Co. began his career working for large steel mills and aluminum plants in the Midwest. He soon realized that he could produce parts for this industry and others like it. So, in 1969 A & S Fabricating Co. (ASFABCO) was established. From that humble beginning, the dream of being a major Metal Fabricator and Machine Shop grew to include a 110,000 sq. ft. shop located at 265 US 431 North in Livermore, Kentucky. Its prime location in Central/ Western Kentucky, is close in proximity to many major highways and nearby interstates. This shop is equipped with a diversity of metal working equipment, and staffed by an experienced workforce.
