Forming, finishing and fabrication under one roof
Each of our services stands on its own, and they are strongest together: a part can be curved, cut, machined, welded, painted and assembled here, then shipped ready to install.

Stretch Forming
Curved metal by the experts
Stretch formed aluminum, stainless, steel, brass and bronze: smooth, wrinkle-free curves for curtain wall, canopies, skylights and stairs. Since 1989.
Architectural Paint

AAMA 2605, 2604 and 2603 liquid and powder coatings. Approved Sherwin-Williams, PPG and AkzoNobel applicator; in-house PVDF color matching; parts to 290 in.
Brake Metal
Formed up to 14 ft long
CNC press brake forming up to 14 ft long, from brackets to finished unitized panels, with a large library of punches and dies and water jet for odd shapes.
Water Jet Cutting
5-axis, 118 × 236 in. bed
5-axis water jet cutting on a 118 × 236 in. (3 × 6 m) bed: bevels and shapes beyond straight cuts, with a better edge than laser on thick metal.
Fabrication
CNC, welding and assembly
Architectural metal fabrication under one roof: 4- and 5-axis CNC machining, MIG, TIG and laser welding, and assemblies ready to install.
Curved Railing
Level and spiral
Stretch formed handrail and guardrail profiles for curved and helical stairs: level curves and spirals in aluminum, stainless, brass and bronze.
Skylight Curving
Barrel vaults and arches
Stretch formed rafters, purlins and glazing bars for barrel vault and arched skylights: smooth radii that keep glass and gaskets true, painted in house.
