Capacity Is Buyable. Time Isn’t. And $27 Billion in New Contracts Just Made That the Only Thing That Matters.

STAPLETON, Ala. — September 23, 2026 — The federal government is pouring money into American shipbuilding at a pace the industry hasn’t seen in decades: roughly $27.2 billion in FY2026 Navy funding, a $650 million contract for up to 474 composite rigid-hull inflatable boats across eight builders, and a separate $3.5 billion vehicle for up to 2,800 aluminum and steel service craft — patrol boats, tugs, barges, drydocks and more. Every one of those hulls gets built by someone, on a machine, on a deadline.

That’s where Carell Industrial Solutions comes in — and the company wants shipyards, fabricators, and boatbuilders to know it isn’t waiting to find out if it can keep up.

Carell Industrial Solutions is the newly combined home of two established names, Carell Corporation and Eagle Bending Machines, both founded in Stapleton, Alabama in 1993 and now united under one company and new ownership, led by President Kerri Gregory. Together they’ve placed more than 8,500 plate rolls, angle rolls, section benders, ring rollers, and tube and pipe benders across North America — the exact machines that turn raw plate and structural shapes into the hull sections and fittings a boat contract requires. There’s no shipyard build-out without this equipment. It isn’t an accessory to the process; it is the process.

And right now, Carell has it in stock. The company publishes a real-time inventory list at carellcorp.com, so buyers can see, machine by machine, what’s on the floor in Stapleton today — not on a build slot six months out.

“Capacity is buyable — the machines, the tooling, an application engineer who doesn’t need the job explained twice. What isn’t buyable is time. The machine sitting on our floor beats the one still on order, every time. We built our inventory model around that math,” says Kerri Gregory, President of Carell Industrial Solutions.

The company backs its in-stock machines with 100% parts coverage and an in-house tooling shop capable of custom work.

The door is open on this build-out. It closes on whoever’s still waiting on iron.
