At Mika Metal Fabricating, our team is the driving force behind our commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. As a precision sheet metal fabrication company, we rely on skilled individuals who bring both technical expertise and passion to the work we do. Each quarter, we highlight an employee who exemplifies our core values. This quarter, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on Michael Dubecky, a talented and versatile member of our Powder Coat & Silk Screen Department.
Michael has been part of the Mika family for one year, gaining hands-on experience across several areas of production. His journey includes honing skills in powder coating, spot welding, and silk screening that directly supports our custom metal finishing and precision fabrication processes. His adaptability, curiosity and artistic talents have made him a strong asset in our production environment.
Today, Michael’s attention to detail shines in the Paint & Silk Screen area, where precision, consistency, and craftsmanship are critical for high-quality metal fabrication projects.
Creativity has always been a defining part of who Michael is. Outside of work, he is deeply involved in the arts from drawing, painting, airbrushing, sculpting, filmmaking, and scriptwriting. His artistic eye enhances the precision and craftsmanship required in his day-to-day responsibilities at Mika.
Michael also enjoys painting, collecting baseball cards and memorabilia, and exploring topics in archaeology, history, and ufology. Whether he’s reading, learning, or spending time outdoors, he approaches everything with curiosity and passion.
Among Mika’s core values Fans First, Team Always, Continuous Improvement, and Greater Good Michael strongly connects with Team Always. Collaboration, communication, and supporting others are traits he demonstrates naturally on the shop floor. His coworkers describe him as positive, personable, and always willing to help.
These qualities support the high standards we uphold in full-service metal fabrication, where teamwork ensures speed, accuracy, and reliable outcomes for our customers.
