Depending on the machine used, we also have the option to build machines in-house to expand our capacity as needed. Please contact us for a production capacity estimate for your product.
We can work with a wide range of metals, including pure iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum and other metals. We can also consider processing special materials provided by the customer. Please contact us to discuss your material requirements.
