  • Order fulfillment for speed to market​
  • Short-term and long-term contract warehousing​
  • Inventory control and management ​

Why Warehousing?​

Warehousing provides secure storage and efficient management of raw materials, components, and finished products​

With organized inventory systems and strategic logistics, warehousing ensures timely access to materials and reduces lead time​

Eco-friendly logistics such as returnable containers, means fewer disposable materials, better protection for parts, and a streamlined process that benefits the environment and our customers​

Why Roll Forming?​

Roll forming is a continuous metal forming process that shapes metal strips by passing them through a series of rollers, forming the desired shape. ​

This process significantly lowers production costs and reduces material waste.​

5 Axis Laser​

  • 4,000 kw
  • This special laser is ideal for trimming stampings
  • Maximum work piece size – 100x33x14
  • Maximum thickness – ¼ “

Why 5 Axis Laser​? ​

Unlike 2D or 3-axis lasers, a 5-axis laser moves in five directions, allowing it to cut at complex angles and reach difficult areas​

By cutting from multiple angles in a single setup, it reduces repositioning time, leading to higher efficiency and productivity 

Leveling

  • Operates using a servo-electronic drive, eliminating hydraulic systems. This reduces maintenance, energy consumption, and enhances environmental sustainability. ​

Why Leveling? ​

A leveler ensures sheet and plate materials are flat, stress-free, and dimensionally stable, which is critical for processes like cutting, welding, stamping, and bending. By removing internal stresses and preventing warping, it reduces scrap and rework, improves assembly precision, and extends tooling life. ​
