<h3>About TACO Metals</h3><p><strong>TACO Metals</strong> has been one of the marine industry's most trusted names since 1959. <a href="/7597-taco-metals">TACO Metals</a> traces its roots to a small Miami-based aluminum railing fabrication company founded by Dave Kushner — a venture that would grow into a full-service marine manufacturing enterprise spanning multiple product lines, domestic manufacturing facilities, and international distribution.</p><p>In the early 1970s, TACO entered the recreational boating market just as South Florida was becoming a hub for the marine industry. The company quickly established itself as a primary source supplier for boat builders and fabricators, a reputation it has maintained for more than six decades. Today, TACO Metals is headquartered in the Miami area, with manufacturing in Sparta, Tennessee, and warehousing facilities spanning the Eastern Seaboard, Europe, and Asia.</p><p>What sets TACO apart is its deep vertical integration. From in-house engineering and CNC machining to custom aluminum extrusions and sourced stainless-steel components, TACO designs products built to withstand the relentless punishment of the marine environment. Boat builders, marine fabricators, distributors, and repair yards all rely on TACO products to meet demanding design and performance requirements.</p><h3>TACO Marine Product Lines</h3><p>The TACO Marine brand — the consumer-facing arm of TACO Metals — covers an impressive breadth of product categories.
