About MetalGrain
At MetalGrain, we believe that fencing should be as enduring as it is beautiful. Our mission is to revolutionize the fencing industry by combining the strength of metal with the timeless appeal of wood. Through advanced metal sublimation technology, we offer innovative, low-maintenance fencing solutions that elevate the aesthetics and durability of any space.
Our Story: A Legacy of Innovation
MetalGrain was born from the same entrepreneurial spirit that sparked the success of All Metals Fabrication (AMF)—a company built on grit, family values, and a relentless work ethic.
The founders of MetalGrain, siblings Rich Marker and Melissa Spencer, grew up working shoulder-to-shoulder with their father in the AMF shop. Their dad, Mel Marker, launched AMF in 1994 with nothing more than determination, a vision, and a fierce desire to build something from the ground up. The early days were tough—delivering machines before the building was even finished, sleeping in the shop to guard against thieves, and installing carpet and baseboards at night after long days on the floor.
Rich and Melissa didn’t just watch that story unfold—they lived it.
As teenagers, they were running press brakes, managing payroll, delivering parts, chasing payments, and learning what it truly meant to bootstrap a business. They saw firsthand how innovation, hustle, and a commitment to quality could turn a small family shop into a trusted fabrication leader.
That foundation shaped everything they’ve done since.
Years later, Rich and Melissa saw a new opportunity—this time in the fencing industry. They noticed a growing demand for materials that could offer both durability and design. Traditional wood fences required too much upkeep. Standard metal lacked warmth and curb appeal. They knew there had to be a better way.
So they built it. MetalGrain is the natural evolution of everything they learned at AMF: tough materials, smart engineering, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship—now reimagined through the lens of modern design.
What started as a lesson in hard work has become a mission to change the fencing industry—one panel at a time.
