More than just building machines.
Our underlying philosophy is to contribute to technologies that help improve the world we live in. Over 95 percent of what we build is exported, running in factories across North America, Europe and Asia.
Engineered to last
Individually twisted knots and a modular design make a tighter, more uniform fence, and a machine that keeps running for decades.
Family owned
Four generations, privately held. The people who design the machines are the people who answer for them.
Built for the floor
We have run fence factories ourselves, so every machine is designed around the operators who use it.
