WHY WE STARTED HMD
HMD Fabrications was built from a passion for performance, fabrication, and doing things the right way... not the easy way.
What started as Austin, Forrest, and Giuseppe working on trucks and performance builds grew into a mission: build high-quality fabrication parts that actually work. Hold up to abuse, hold up to time, and look good doing it. Every product we sell is designed with real-world use in mind, whether that's on the street or off-road.
We focus on clean welds and solid fitment, durable materials that last, and products designed and tested on our personal vehicles to make sure they're dialed in before they reach you.
THE TEAM
-
Giuseppe Dalto
General Manager: Giuseppe was there from day one with welding skills and a personality that makes the whole operation better. These days he's stepped back from the day-to-day fabrication, but his fingerprints are still on everything. Great face for the brand, and the kind of guy who keeps morale up.
-
Austin Haase
Founder & CEO: The strategic mind behind HMD. Austin handles the vision, operations, and keeps everything running tight. He's the one thinking three steps ahead about product design, manufacturing efficiency, and where the brand goes next.
-
Forrest Moses
Co-Founder & COO: Forrest is the design and engineering backbone of every product. He's in the shop constantly, solving problems, refining builds, and making sure every detail works. He's also the guy customers actually want to talk to — personable, sharp, and genuinely invested in getting it right.
HOW WE BUILD
-
01 — Design
Every product starts with our own trucks. We sketch, prototype, and test on our personal builds — then refine until it works across every diesel platform we've tried.
-
02 — Build
304 stainless, hand-cut and TIG-welded in-shop. Every weld inspected. Every joint tested for fit. No assembly line, no shortcuts.
-
03 — Test
Before it ships, every muffler is heat-cycled and pressure-checked. The valve actuator is run through 50+ open/close cycles to confirm clean operation.
