Born on July 28, 1983, Michael J. Mabin founded PennFab, Inc. Michael started out with $2,500, a wife, and three young children. His objective was to create a firm he could be proud of, one that would employ people from his generation and the next. After serving in the Coast Guard, Mike developed a strong interest in manufacturing, which he carried with him to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he eventually went out on his own and founded PennFab.
