About Nucraft Metal Products

 A Family-Owned Fabrication Company Since 1979

Founded in 1979 in Roscommon, Michigan, NuCraft Metal Products is a family-owned metal fabrication company built on generations of hands-on experience.

Today, NuCraft is owned and operated by three partners whose combined backgrounds represent over 100 years of metal fabrication experience.

Our family’s connection to fabrication runs deep—members of our extended family were even involved in the construction of the Mackinac Bridge, reinforcing a legacy of craftsmanship and pride in the work we do.

From Fabrication to Craftlander

NuCraft began as a general fabrication shop. As demand grew for aluminum boat hoists, marine products became a larger focus.

What started as NuCraft Hoists evolved into a dedicated marine division. In 2000, that division became Craftlander .

Since then, Craftlander has continued to expand, offering a broader lineup of boat lifts, docks, and accessories designed for durability and real-world use.
