Stronger_together

Hurricane Florence shut down our Wilmington NC plant for two weeks and wreaked havoc with our on-time shipping record. We can’t thank you enough for your patience and support during our crisis!

We’re fortunate to have a team of resilient employees who stood together and helped one another throughout the storm and after. Now we’re standing by to help YOU!

We are back at full capacity for all frames (kd or welded), and door lead times are still slightly extended due to the storm.

Need hollow metal? Send us an order today! Thank you for the chance to earn your business again.
