GSM delivers industrial metal bending for OEM production at scale. Our press brakes, roll bending, and custom forming cover tight-tolerance parts and oversized components, including long heavy-gauge panels for trucks and equipment. Pair our custom metal bending services with in-house laser cutting, stamping, welding, machining, and assembly to consolidate suppliers and keep your schedule on track.
We offer an extensive range of metal manufacturing capabilities, eliminating the need for multiple manufacturers.
We excel in providing enhanced supply chain stability and dedicated support for minimal disruptions.
We offer a state-of-the-art facility equipped to tackle projects requiring large metal components.
Our expertise helps improve manufacturability and reduce costs.
General Stamping & Metalworks (GSM) delivers industrial metal bending that meets tight tolerances and tight timelines for OEMs. Our press brakes, roll bending, and custom forming handle thin sheet to thick plate, from precise brackets to long heavy-gauge panels for trucks and equipment. We back our precision metal bending with a full suite of in-house services to consolidate suppliers and keep production moving. One partner means one schedule and fewer handoffs.
Industrial metal bending shapes sheet, plate, and tube with controlled force and precise tooling. Press brake bending sets crisp angles and tight radii. Roll bending forms long, sweeping curves and cylinders. Tube bending creates consistent bends across round or rectangular sections without wrinkling or flattening.
At GSM, we match the method to the print and the production plan. We program bends offline with full simulation to validate tooling, clearances, and sequences before we hit the floor. Our 6-axis back gauging positions parts with speed and accuracy, and in-line measurement drives automatic bend-angle correction so parts hit spec and scrap stays low.
Capacity matters, so we built for it. We run:
We also provide tube bending up to 6” diameter for frames, guards, and structural components.
Our metal bending services combine precision and scalability from prototypes to production, meeting OEM needs every step of the way.
Metal bending shapes sheet, plate, and tube into precise angles and smooth radii with speed and repeatability. It protects material strength and holds tight tolerances, benefits that drive lower cost and faster assembly across production. For OEM teams managing deadlines, industrial metal bending delivers consistent parts that flow cleanly into downstream operations.
We bend stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel, plus high-strength grades for demanding applications. You can spec tight radii for enclosures or broad curves for panels, cones, and cylinders without compromising fit or finish.
Choose precision metal bending when you want:
Late parts ripple through an entire build. We stop that before it starts. GSM keeps bending, cutting, welding, machining, tube work, and assembly under one roof, so your metal bending runs on a single plan with clear ownership and fast handoffs.
We stage material, tooling, and press time to match your forecast. Our facilities have the capacity and redundancy to keep production moving when demand spikes. The depth of our capabilities gives OEM teams fewer suppliers to coordinate and fewer freight touches. If you need a partner that shields your timeline from supply swings, choose the metal-bending company built for uptime: GSM.
OEM teams pick GSM because we consistently meet our customers’ volume and schedule requirements. We deliver precision metal bending on an integrated floor that keeps production simple and predictable. Our advantages include:
