Honoring the Past, Defending the Future: 250 Years of Sea Service Excellence Strength at sea has always been built by people. For 250 years, Sailors have stood the watch—innovating, persevering, and carrying our US Navy through every challenge. That legacy isn’t just history; it’s a standard of readiness, discipline, and purpose that continues to guide us. Their service is a reminder that true power lies in people—the ones who answer the call and uphold the mission no matter the cost. The TST Fab & Machine team draws inspiration from that example. In every project, we see the same requirements: readiness, discipline in our craftsmanship, and the unwavering resolve demanded when precision is critical. While we are not Sailors, our mission is anchored in service—to defense, maritime, and industry partners.   The work we do behind the scenes—welding, fabricating, machining, and building—the precision behind every weld, cut, and component exists for one reason: to strengthen the industrial base that supports the fleet and the Sailors who serve. It’s the unseen work behind every mission, carried out with professionalism, pride, and respect for those who defend from the sea. To the United States Navy: thank you for 250 years of service, sacrifice, and strength. We honor your legacy and remain committed to the work that ensures readiness, resilience, and mission success! #USNavy250 #NavyBirthday #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine #ForgedByService #PrecisionInAction

Behind every weld, cut, and mission are people—and people are what matter most. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder that even in industries like defense and manufacturing, no one is untouched by its impact. At TST Fab & Machine, we recognize the strength it takes to fight, the importance of early detection, and the value of supporting teammates and families through challenges that reach far beyond the workplace. Awareness matters because our industry—and our nation—are only as strong as the people behind them. This October, we honor survivors, remember those lost, and stand with the skilled trades and defense community in raising awareness for the fight against breast cancer. #BreastCancerAwareness #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine

Manufacturing is more than machines, materials, or output—it’s the people and capabilities that strengthen the industrial base and drive progress. The TST Fab & Machine team builds with precision, professionalism, and purpose. From certified welding and machining to fabrication and finishing, our work supports the defense, maritime, and industrial sectors—industries where quality and reliability aren’t optional, they’re mission critical. Recognizing Manufacturing Day—and October as Manufacturing Month—reminds us of the vital role small businesses play in powering supply chains, advancing innovation, and creating opportunities for skilled trades. For us, it’s also about the people behind the work—the welders, machinists, fabricators, and staff whose skill and dedication ensure every project we deliver stands up to the highest standards. We’re proud to keep evolving, expanding capabilities, and investing in the people who make manufacturing possible. #MFGDay #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine #BuiltToEvolve #PrecisionInAction

The Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium is back on the West Coast — and so are we. FMMS 2025 brings together the US Navy, industry, and innovators who keep the fleet mission-ready. It’s one of the best opportunities of the year to connect, collaborate, and spark new ideas on how we strengthen readiness, resilience, and supply chain capacity. If you’re walking the exhibitor floor, sitting in on a panel, or grabbing a coffee between sessions — we’d love to connect. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and active protégé in the DoD Mentor-Protégé Program, TST Fab & Machine is proud to be part of the conversations that drive advancements in warfighting and maritime readiness solutions. See you in San Diego, September 23–25! #FMMS2025 #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine #BuiltToEvolve #DefenseIndustrialBase #MaritimeReadiness

Behind every ship built, every mission supported, and every supply chain strengthened are the tradespeople who make it possible. From welding and machining to fabrication, painting, and beyond, these crafts aren’t just tasks—they’re skilled disciplines carried out with pride, precision, and purpose. We know firsthand the impact trades have on our defense and industrial strength, because our team lives it every day. At TST Fab & Machine, the most important part of what we build is our people. We’re proud of our welders, machinists, fabricators, painters, and more—whose expertise evolves with us and ensures every part meets the mission. Today, on National Tradesmen Day, we recognize and celebrate our team and the men and women in the trades—whose work doesn’t just build parts, it builds resilience, readiness, and progress. #NationalTradesmenDay #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine #BuiltToEvolve #PeoplePowerIndustry

The Air Force birthday is a reminder of the strength, precision, and innovation that safeguard our nation from above, defending our skies. We celebrate and salute the Airmen whose service and skill protect freedom every day. At TST Fab & Machine, our work has long been rooted in serving the defense and maritime sectors. As we continue to grow, we’re preparing to expand into aviation—bringing the same standards of quality, reliability, and mission focus that define everything we build. To the United States Air Force: thank you for your service and your commitment to innovation. We’re proud to support the defense industrial base that keeps our nation secure. #USAirForce #AirForceBirthday #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine

Today, we pause to honor and remember September 11. At TST Fab & Machine, we are reminded of the strength that comes when individuals unite in service of something greater than themselves. The work we do every day—to support our defense, maritime, and industrial partners—is a reflection of that same spirit of resilience and commitment to protecting and strengthening our nation. We stand in remembrance, in gratitude, and in unity. #PatriotDay #NeverForget #SupportBehindTheSupport #TSTFabMachine
