Downtown FabWorks, a leading provider of turnkey fabrication solutions for creative projects across the attractions industry, has recently relocated to a 40,000 sq. ft. space in the vibrant Bywater neighbourhood of New Orleans.
This expansion is a significant milestone for the company, enabling it to enhance operations, tackle larger projects, and serve clients more effectively across the United States.
Established in the autumn of 2019 by founder and president Daniel Krall, Downtown FabWorks creates high-quality, engaging experiences for live events, broadcast television, brand activations, immersive exhibits, and themed environments. The team combines various trades and fabrication methods from concept to execution, providing innovative solutions that leave a lasting impression.
Meeting the demands of the industry
“As someone who has worked in exhibits, broadcast television, construction, and events for over two decades, I envisioned creating a company that could blend skilled professionals from multiple trades under one roof in a collaborative environment,” says Krall.
“Our new facility allows us to amplify that vision with the added space and capabilities needed to meet the demands of our industry.”
The new facility boasts key features including 40,000 square feet of fabrication space suitable for projects of any size, along with three dock-high loading docks that facilitate seamless logistics and delivery. Additionally, it has a dedicated storage bay for the expanding event rental inventory.
The company has ample room for all its departments in this new space, including sales and estimation, production and technical design, project management, metalworks, millwork, CNC, finishing, and installation.
With this new setup, Downtown FabWorks is ready to take on even larger custom projects while remaining dedicated to its mission of providing creative, high-quality craftsmanship in both scenic and architectural fabrication.
Supporting the local community
Alongside its work across the country, the company is dedicated to enhancing New Orleans’ local event and production sector.
“Clients looking to create unique experiences with high production value in New Orleans don’t need to look elsewhere,” says Krall. “We have everything right here—an extraordinary community of creative experts, the infrastructure, and the ability to handle all aspects of event production and delivery.
“And Downtown FabWorks should be the first call on anyone’s list.”
Since 2019, Downtown FabWorks has been at the forefront of specialty fabrication. What began in Chalmette, Louisiana, as a small scenic and architectural firm has evolved into a cornerstone of custom design and fabrication in the Gulf South, collaborating with Scenario Global, Live Nation, Gallagher & Associates, the National WWII Museum, and others.
Downtown FabWorks provides bespoke projects locally and nationwide, employing creativity, skill, and technology to bring clients’ visions to life.
