Family-owned since 1992
A father-and-son shop in North Salt Lake
Interwest Manufacturing and Waterjet Cutting is Dave and Craig Garlick’s shop. We cut, bend, and fabricate custom parts for welders, contractors, sign shops, manufacturers, artists, and anyone who walks in with a part that needs making.
Our story
Dave and Craig Garlick have been fabricating with metal since they were in high school. In 1992 they decided to make their passion a business, and Interwest Manufacturing was born.
Over the years, more and more jobs needed rough cutting before fabrication, so they looked for ways to shorten the path from casting to rough cut to machining and fabrication. By 2002 they had found waterjet cutting, bought a machine, and added “Waterjet Cutting” to the name. They started cutting for other machinists and for anyone else who came to them for help.
The Garlicks still fabricate the parts they cut when customers want it. Today the shop runs a Flow waterjet, a 3 kW fiber laser, and a CNC press brake, with rolling, welding, drilling, tapping, and finishing in-house. It’s still a father-and-son team, and they would like to help you bring your idea to life.
