We are experts in making custom sheet metal. Besides this, TOPS accommodates distinct industry needs.
Sheet metalworking is the process used in manufacturing, for the creation of metal components through the formation of thin sheets. Due to its accuracy and the capability to create durable parts, i.e. enclosures, brackets, and chassis, this method is highly encouraged to use. It ensures high-quality, reliable final-use products. TOPS the industrial sheet metal services specialty is devoted to transforming metal into smooth and efficient components.
Sheet metal fabrication is considered to be suitable for first-time ordering of metal parts.
Sheet metal is used in diverse areas, for both standard and non-standard uses, and in high and low-volume capacities. It completely depends on the demand of the respective industry. Commonly fabricated metal parts include:
