Established decades ago as a metalworking firm, PIW, Inc. also fabricates architectural stonework with the help of a computerized waterjet.Over recent years, advances in waterjet cutting systems have offered firms the ability to cut diverse materials with a single machine, prompting firms from other sectors to enter into the stone fabrication industry. An example of this can be found in PIW, Inc., of Lockport, IL, which introduced its waterjet cutting services four years ago.
