Sheet metal work manufacturers cut, bend, stamp, weld, and form metal sheet stock into finished or semi-finished components — including ductwork, enclosures, architectural trim, flashing, and custom fabricated parts — using shears, press brakes, laser cutters, and welding equipment. Products are typically sold to contractors, OEMs, or distributors rather than direct to consumers. Work is generally performed in a fixed production facility.
Questions to investigate
- What types of products are fabricated, and what are their primary end uses — HVAC ductwork, architectural components, industrial enclosures, or other?
- What cutting and forming equipment is on-site — shears, press brakes, laser cutters, plasma cutters, CNC equipment?
- Are any surface treatment processes performed on-site, such as painting, powder coating, plating, or chemical degreasing?
- What dust collection and fire suppression systems are in place?
