Sheet Metal Engineering -- A Modern Industry Extending Around the World
Over 12,300 companies (with 20 or more employees) throughout the world, with sales of $72 billion (US) and employing over 600,000. Our member companies supply assemblies, subassemblies and parts weighing from two tons to less than one gram each to:
the automotive industry
the machinery industry
the electrical and electronic industries
many other markets
We are proud of:
a long tradition of craftsmanship and service
high performance in precision, quality, value, delivery, development and management
Modern design and construction practices encourage our customers to use more sheet metal components because they are lighter and more cost effective than other metal parts-- and more easily recycled than plastic parts.
