  • In-die Servo automation
  • Single Punch Dies, Progressive Dies, and coming soon, HMS Series 900 transfer die system on 2000 Ton Press

Why Stamping? ​

Metal stamping is a cost-effective manufacturing process for high-volume production, resulting in lower per-unit costs. ​

This requires a tooling investment justified by quantities greater than 75,000 units/year.​

Tube Fabrication​

  • Two fully automated 3600-Watt Tube Laser can cut 10” round and up to 3/8” thick material
  • The 5 programmable axis enable us to cut a variety of shapes including round, oval, square and rectangular
  • Tube bending up to 6” diameter, 10 axis multi-stack CNC bending

Why Tube Fabrication?​

Tube Fabrication is a precise and versatile process used to cut, bend, and shape metal tubing.​

This process allows for the creation of custom tubular components with tight tolerances, smooth finishes, and minimal material waste.​

Warehousing

  • Cross docking for expediting shipping needs
  • Pick and pack for service parts​
  • 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​

Tool & Die

  • Full design/build capacity
  • Nine Journeyman Tool & Die Makers
  • Progressive dies
  • Line dies
  • Draw dies
  • Weld fixtures
  • Check fixtures
  • SolidWorks, Logopress3 and MasterCam

Why Tool & Die?​

Tool and Die manufacturing is an engineering process used to design and produce custom tools, dies, and molds for metal stamping, forming, and cutting applications.​

Properly designed and maintained tooling can extend production life and reduce downtime, leading to high efficiency and cost savings in metal fabrication.​

Machining​

  • 24-hour quote turnaround
  • 5 Horizontal Machining Centers; w/4-axis capability and 16” X 16” X 24” capacity

  • Expert support to help you engineer prototypes for maximum machinability
  • Capacity to ensure responsiveness and quick delivery
  • Prototype turning

Why Machining?​

Machining is a manufacturing process that removes material from a workpiece to create highly accurate and detailed components.​

With both CNC and manual machining capabilities, this process is essential for industries like automotive and industrial manufacturing.​

Roll Forming

  • Tomah Facility – 8-foot roll capable of handling up to 5/8-inch-thick mild steel​
  • South Bend Facility – up to 5/12 in and 16 gauge​

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
