Spotlight on Success
Meet One of the Project’s MVP’s
TX TinMan Enterprises, LLC (TinMan Enterprises) is a veteran-owned, woman-owned, minority business enterprise based in Fort Worth, TX. We provide fabrication, fencing, and welding serving clients across Texas. Since 1999, TinMan Enterprises’ clients, across various sectors including commercial, industrial, aviation and government, have relied on the firm’s expertise for their most important steel and metal fabrication projects.
TinMan Enterprises has been able to strategically leverage its certifications to participate in some significant projects in the DFW area including the TCCD Bond Program. Separately, TCCD and Skanska have demonstrated commitment to their MWBE programs. As a result, when Acari reached out to attend the TCCD-Skanska joint kickoff mixer in November 2019, TinMan made it a priority to attend. At the mixer, we were able to meet new project contacts, re-connect with some previous contacts, and learn what Skanska was looking for in their subcontractor partners to best serve the owner, TCCD.
The Northwest Campus Project has given us a chance to enhance existing relationships with both TCCD and Skanska. The project is a shining example of quality, safety, and inclusion. We can have all these traits while still building a rich, vibrant economy for all.
Our marquis projects include:
- Gexa Pavilion Renovation
- Toyota Music Factory
- TX Live Entertainment Complex
- Live! By Loews Hotel
- New Rangers Baseball Stadium
