Our Story

From a hand brake in Phoenix to a state-of-the-art fab shop in Glendale.

We started in 1981 as a glass and glazing subcontractor. Unable to find a reliable local supplier of brake metal in the Valley, we bought our first hand brake and slitter and began fabricating our own sill flashings, wall caps and trims.

Before long, another subcontractor asked to buy some metal — then a glass company, then a drywall contractor. Our focus gradually shifted from glazing to custom metal supply for the trades that build Arizona.

Today we operate a brand-new facility in Glendale with two CnC-controlled folding machines, two CnC-controlled air shears, a notcher, and a heavy-duty punch — with expert operators who can fabricate metals to fit almost any design.
