Dark Threat Fabrication, a one-stop full-service metal fabricator, will expand its facility in Cleburne County, Arkansas. The $7.65 million project is expected to create 75 jobs over the next five years.

The company will add an additional 32,000 square feet to its Heber Springs operations which will allow it to increase capacity and augment sales with both current and potential customers. Construction is planned to begin within three to six months with completion scheduled by the fourth quarter of 2022.

“We are blessed to have the opportunity to live and work in such a beautiful state,” said Andrew Roberson, company owner and lead engineer. “Our dedication to providing first class metal fabrication services to our customers is reflected in the products and solutions we provide. We look forward to increased growth driven by our willingness to embrace new technologies as well as providing an inviting work environment.”

Founded in 2013, Dark Threat Fabrication provides engineering, laser cutting, metal forming, powder coating, and welding services for the metal sector.

“The jobs being created by Dark Threat Fabrication will increase economic opportunities for families throughout Cleburne County,” said Secretary of Commerce Mike Preston. “I want to thank the company for its confidence in the workforce in north central Arkansas as well as its strong ties to the Heber Springs community.”'
