Metal Fabrication Overview
Our combined 283,000 square feet of precision sheet metal manufacturing is strategically located in Wisconsin and Mexico with mirrored capabilities and systems between sites to provide our customers with the flexibility, scalability, speed, and technical expertise required to quickly introduce new products into the market. With over 70 years of sheet metal fabrication manufacturing and tooling experience, we have the experience to provide solutions to our customers' most difficult challenges. We become an extension of our customers' teams from prototype to production, mechanical assembly, integration, and testing to mitigate any potential design issues and costs.
How it Works
There are two main sheet metal manufacturing processes: soft tooling and hard tooling. Soft tooling uses lasers, turrets, and brake presses to form parts and components through cutting, punching, and bending. This is also known as sheet metal bending, sheet metal punching, or sheet metal forming. Learn More
Hard tooling feeds coiled sheet metal into a stamping press where a steel die forms the metal in one or more stages. This is also known as sheet metal stamping. Learn More
