Metal Trades, Inc. is a family-owned metal fabrication and shipbuilding company based in Yonges Island, South Carolina. With nearly 60 years of experience, it specializes in heavy steel fabrication, manufacturing, machining, vessel construction, and vessel maintenance and repair. The company operates a facility in Meggett and has expanded its Charleston County footprint to support maritime projects. As a mid-sized regional provider, it serves customers requiring robust fabrication and repair capabilities for complex steel structures.

In January 2024, Metal Trades merged with Merrill Technologies Group as part of a broader consolidation that formed Keel Holdings, LLC, a Tier-1 manufacturer of complex structures for defense programs, including the Navy, Army, and Air Force. Earlier, in 2022, the Meggett facility was expanded, adding capacity and creating 64 jobs in the region.
