Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet Metal Forming
High-precision sheet metal forming. Cutting-edge brake press machinery,
rigorous quality control, and superior service.
Cutting-Edge Machinery • Rigorous Quality Control
High-Quality Sheet Metal Forming with Precision Accuracy
Our cutting-edge sheet metal forming technology allows us to provide superior fabricated parts. Forming involves clamping a piece of sheet metal between a top tool and a bottom die to create specified bends in the workpiece—an essential staple of the sheet metal manufacturing process.
As part of our first-class equipment fleet, our Amada Astro II Robotic Press Brake allows production jobs to be set up and run as a lights-out operation—yielding faster turnaround times without compromising quality.

Engineering Support
GTR Manufacturing’s experienced engineering department can provide concepts, design changes, product enhancements, and reverse engineering. We will work with your team to deliver your parts at competitive costs.
Our sales, management, and engineering teams have experience in a wide range of industries and understand the changing needs of all of them. We work in close partnership with our clients in developing and refining product designs and production process planning to simplify manufacturing and create cost savings for your end product.
We have the capability to import and unfold your 3D models ( .dwg, .step, .iges, .sldasm, .ldprt, .dxf) built in Solid Works, Pro/E, and other modeling software. The model is unfolded and downloaded directly into the CAM process, reducing errors and assisting in short lead times for your sheet metal parts.
JIT / KANBAN
By using the Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory strategy, GTR Manufacturing schedules production to meet your ordering needs. We reduce costs by carrying less idle inventory, resulting in a quality product that is delivered on time at a lower price.
We pair JIT with the Kanban technique to manage our highly-efficient development process. We establish minimum and maximum quantities, fulfilling customer needs on a pull system. This method empowers us to reduce inventory for customers and suppliers and uses lean production practices. In addition, we have full insight into your pipeline through an online portal, ensuring it’s always full.
