TSMA February Meeting

Join TSMA at the AmericInn in Fergus Falls on February 6

Presentation:  Aura Fabricators: Past, Present and Future

Speaker: Jasmine Sonmor, President/CEO Aura Fabricators

Aura has its past in White Oak Metals, one of the founding companies of TSMA. Circumstances forced Perry Mertz, founder of White Oak Metals, to hand the reins to his daughter, Jasmine Sonmor in 2015. Sonmor incorporated White Oak Metals into her fledgling company, Aura Fabricators, and hasn't looked back since. Sonmor will talk about the past and the present,  which includes a recently completed major expansion into a newly constructed facility in Fergus Falls.  As President/CEO she can share what it's like to be a woman in the business and what she sees for the future, both for Aura Fabricators and women in the industry moving forward. 




About the Speaker: Sonmor is an NDSU Civil Engineering graduate.  She was introduced to the world of metal fabrication by her father.  It was there that she worked every summer since she was 13 years old. She now lives north of Underwood, MN with her husband and two year old son. She is the President and CEO of Aura Fabricators which has locations in Dalton and Fergus Falls, MN.  


About the Tour: The tour will feature Aura Fabricator's newly constructed facility, with its various CNC equipment including a drill/saw combo line, lathes, and mills. They also have robotic handling and welding.  Aura Fabricators specializes in ornamental railings and structural steel fabrication for bridges.
