Custom Machinery

We are special machine experts with proven success in many industries, including the wire industry. Our broad technical and multi-industry experience offers you a fresh innovative approach to most machinery and manufacturing problems. We offer turn-key machinery solutions, or modular integration. We prefer full responsibility for our projects, but will gladly work under your direction.

We look for challenging automation and machine design projects where a commercial standard is unavailable, or where our broad multi-industry experience enables us to offer a fresh approach by redefining or simplifying design.
