LENEXA (Kan.) – Smith & Loveless Inc., in conjunction with its wholly owned affiliate Eastern Oklahoma Fabrication LLC (EOF), is proud to announce a significant 27,200 square foot expansion of EOF fabrication facilities in Cameron, Oklahoma. This strategic growth represents a major investment in Smith & Loveless’ industrial capacity and substantially enhances the company’s ability to serve a diverse range of global infrastructure markets.
The expansion is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-quality fabrication in the water and mining infrastructure industries, as well as the specialized needs of EOF’s long-standing clients in the petrochemical, oil, and gas sectors. By more than doubling its footprint, EOF strengthens its position as a premier provider of precision-engineered solutions, including pressure vessels, skid packages, and custom industrial components.
“This expansion is a testament to our commitment to growth and our dedication to the critical infrastructure industries we serve,” said Frank Rebori, President of Smith & Loveless Inc. “By increasing our capacity at EOF, we are better positioned to provide the rapid response and technical excellence our water and wastewater infrastructure partners require. This facility significantly increases our U.S. manufacturing operations to more than 175,000 square feet to deliver 100 percent USA-made, large-scale infrastructure projects.”
EOF has built a reputation for technical mastery, backed by a suite of rigorous certifications. The facility is an authorized holder of ASME “U,” “UM,” and “S” certificates, as well as the National Board “R” stamp. These certifications ensure that every project—from 5-axis CNC plasma cutting to complex submerged arc welding—meets the highest global standards for safety and quality.
“We are excited to take this next step in EOF’s history,” added Ray Finchum, President and longtime leader at Eastern Oklahoma Fabrication. “Our team’s expertise in handling both carbon and stainless steel, combined with our ASME-certified pressure vessel capabilities, allows us to take on the most challenging projects in the petrochemical and energy markets. This new space allows us to work more efficiently, house larger projects, and ultimately provide even better service to our customers.”
The added square footage includes upgraded production lines and expanded staging areas, allowing EOF to manage more complex assemblies and larger-diameter tanks. The expansion also reinforces the synergy between EOF and Smith & Loveless Inc., merging the former’s heavy industrial fabrication expertise with the latter’s nearly 80-year legacy of engineering infrastructure excellence in wastewater treatment, pumping and filtration / particle separation systems.
