Monarch Metal Inc. Now Accepting Custom Extrusion Requests

Posted on by

Monarch Metals has over 30 years of experience in the metal fabrication industry, and a major component of that experience lies in aluminum extrusion design and manufacturing. We’ve specialized in building products that solve common building and construction problems, and we would like to help our customers solve even more. 

Here at Monarch Metal, we can help you develop a new custom extrusion to meet your needs.

Many times, extrusions can be designed to reduce the number of components needed, increase assembly speed, and add value. They’re used in a wide range of industries, and for good reason. You’ll see them utilized all around you, from household goods, to industrial machines.

Because we’re a small company, we know how difficult it can be to find manufacturing partners that will work on a small scale. One of our key strengths is the ability to extrude and process small lots of products. While most manufacturers will force you to buy large quantities of material, we can work with you to find the right starting point. That could be 500lbs of material, or 50,000lbs. 

Extrusions on their own can create value, but we also have the ability to add even more value to you and your customers. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Punching Holes and Slots
  • Drilling and Tapping Holes
  • Bending
  • Rolling
  • Anodizing – Type I and Type II
  • Custom Powdercoating – RAL Match
  • Packaging

Once you’ve submitted your information, our product development team will review, research, and generate some initial ideas and concepts for your idea. During that process, we’ll channel our years of design, manufacturing, and assembly expertise to help solve your problem as efficiently as possible. After the initial review and plans are created, meeting with you and your team will be the next step. This is where we can make sure that we’re all on the same page, with all of the goals, constraints, and timing on the table. 

The design and development process can last from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the complexity of the products. During that time, we’ll be in constant communication with you, and ensure that we’re meeting your expectations. We also have in-house prototyping options; those are typically free of charge as a sign of our partnership. 

As the design and development process nears completion, we’ll provide you with finalized drawings, prototypes, and quotes for your product. Once the final design is approved, we’ll proceed with a tooling deposit, and subsequent tooling order. The tooling can generally be finished in 5-6 weeks, depending on our tool shop’s volume. First article parts will follow a couple of weeks after the tooling is complete.
