It took an Einstein to figure out how to bend time. It took MetalForming, Inc. to figure out how to bend metal to perfection. The formula is a simple one:

MetalForming brings the world’s best technology and best equipment to the North American metal forming industry.

I’m Geoff Stone, founder and president of MetalForming, Inc.. For 30 years I have studied and analyzed our industry. I can tell you the finest metal forming machines in the world are made by Jorns, Schechtel, Schlebach, Sen Fung, and Centurio. Each one of these products by itself is the best the world market has to offer. But the amalgamation of these machines as a family of products equals a brilliant solution for any metal forming business.

By working as partners, MetalForming has brought together the collective genius of the world’s best manufacturers. Their engineering and technology have been brought to bear to help our customers in North America become more automated, and better equipped to keep pace with demands for quality and quantity. MetalForming developed a simple equation: that the best world-wide technology perfected by our manufacturing partners could bring new competitive advantages to our metal forming customers. MetalForming is now the leading provider of architectural metal forming equipment, and MetalForming customers are discovering a new universe that is precise, efficient, non-labor intensive – with infinite potential for expanding their businesses.

MetalForming’s formula for success is simple. We are not limited to products that we manufacture ourselves. Instead, we scan the globe in search of the best equipment made any where, and bring it to our customers in North America. Understanding our customers as we do, we are able to work with our manufacturing partners to design and adapt machines for top performance here at home. MetalForming machines are a quantum leap ahead of any other products on the market. Not only that, but MetalForming’s tech support system and the new DirectLink videoconferencing program will keep them up and running, responding to any customer needs – at the speed of light.

Einstein determined the relationship between time and distance. At MetalForming, we like to think we are helping our customers solve problems of time and distance: by providing machines that are beyond smart. By responding to technical issues quickly and successfully. The collective IQ of MetalForming machines is astounding. They are not just smart, they are original. Our machines not only do the basic jobs, like bending, folding, curving, coil-forming, and coil-processing. But they do it quickly and efficiently, turning factories into high-performance environments.

The men and women who work with me here in Peachtree City, Georgia, through their experience and knowledge of our world-wide partners and the building industry, are helping me to bring a pitch of genius to the architectural sheet metal and metal building industries. Thinking creatively. Anticipating future changes. Experimenting with our own theories and ideas, and finding the best and latest technology from our world-wide manufacturers.

Here at MetalForming, we are always working to help our customers manage a constantly changing business environment. We are always innovating. We are not bound by the limits of our own capabilities or our own ingenuity. A world of technology is open to us, and to our customers. But our mission is not just about machines. It’s also about understanding and working with our customers to help them achieve their own visions of success.

Builders must navigate a world that is in flux. Technology drives some changes. Customer trends and tastes determine others. The architectural sheet metal and metal building equipment that our customers rely upon has to be flexible, adaptive and functional.

Who is the MetalForming customer? A small roofing installer in Georgia. An Amish maker of post frame buildings in Pennsylvania. A medium-sized roofing contractor in Iowa. A small components manufacturer in Kentucky. And, the largest metal building manufacturer in the world. In other words, we are able to serve the entire metal forming population, from small construction contractors to the largest companies. Our customers are diverse and dedicated and hard-working. Our mission is to help them grow and meet their business goals, whether a small start-up or an established corporation.

I started working in this industry 25 years ago. I brought the first automatic metal folding machine to North America in 1990. Before that, press brakes or hand brakes were the height of modern technology here. That first folding machine signaled the end of the horse and buggy era.

Ten years ago, I founded MetalForming, in part to duplicate the earlier success with metal folding. That experience underscored for me that the superior technology and best equipment comes from overseas. MetalForming travels the world, looking for the newest wave of technology, and working with our manufacturing partners to ensure that new equipment and upgrades are made available to builders here in North America.

This is a brief introduction to our family of products….an amalgamation of the latest technology to improve efficiency and productivity. In bringing these solutions and systems to the factory, we are working with our customers to change the face of the North American workplace.

Service

To keep this equipment functioning at its top performance level, MetalForming offers the largest tech support system in the industry through our field support, and now our new DirectLink videoconferencing service. DirectLink connects our tech staff with a customer’s workplace so that we can look at the equipment, talk with its operators, and keep it working. A stroke of genius all the way around.

In the end, it is MetalForming’s technical back up of our products that make them the best offerings in North America. The introduction of DirectLink means customers have access to tech support quickly, any where, without incurring travel delays and costs. Our $1.2 million parts inventory means we can get the right product there to support you when you need it.

We’re proud that in the last decade we have brought over 4,000 machines to customers, along with a commitment to full service. In the spirit of “always innovating” we will continue to bring the world’s technology to our customers. Five major manufacturing partners. Five fantastic product lines. 3,000 customers throughout North America. 4000 machines up and running.

Collective genius: no bounds, no limits.
