Prince Manufacturing Enhances Asheville Facility With Advanced Automated Tube Laser Cutting Technology

Prince Manufacturing has significantly upgraded its Asheville, North Carolina facility by integrating a state-of-the-art Longxin automated tube laser cutting system. This strategic investment strengthens the company’s contract manufacturing platform, enabling precise fabrication for complex tubular components including frames, guards, and welded assemblies. By automating processes for materials up to three inches in diameter and eighteen feet in length, the company enhances production speed, repeatability, and structural accuracy for diverse OEM applications.

This technology shift moves beyond simple cutting by consolidating labor-intensive manual tasks like sawing, drilling, and notching into a single, high-precision workflow. For OEMs, this transition reduces secondary handling and improves weld fit-up, effectively streamlining downstream assembly. By minimizing reliance on multiple vendors, Prince Manufacturing offers a more efficient, integrated production model that helps partners shorten lead times while maintaining strict quality control across their supply chain.

The expansion aligns with broader industry trends favoring North American manufacturing resilience and supply chain simplification. As OEMs look to mitigate logistics risks, Prince’s enhanced capabilities provide a robust alternative to long-distance sourcing. Whether through domestic production or hybrid models, Prince continues to deliver scalable manufacturing solutions designed to improve productivity and provide greater operational control for industrial leaders throughout the North American market.
