MG Metal – Belgrade, Montana
The software is easy to use and train new operators on. The machine is quick, so we can respond quicker to customer orders. – Sam Miller, MG Metal
MG Metal produces standing seam roofing materials and assorted other architectural metals for all kinds of customer projects in Southwest Montana. When it came time to invest in new equipment, a top priority for Sam Miller, Owner of MG Metal, was choosing an American-made machine, “so [that] parts and service [would be] less problematic.”
MG Metal chose the Roper Whitney AB1014K AutoBrake® and has not been disappointed. Miller notes that the machine is making a difference in the shop by way of its “accuracy and ease of use, along with throughput speed.”
For Miller, some of the biggest advantages of the AutoBrake® are its ease-of-use and efficiency.
“The software is easy to use and train new operators on,” says Miller. “The machine is quick, so we can respond quicker to customer orders.”
MG Metal’s decision to purchase from Roper Whitney was influenced by a few things, as Miller states, “USA-made was a factor. Fit and finish, they are well-built machines. And of course talking to Amanda at a METALCON conference a few years ago.”
When asked if he would recommend Roper Whitney to others, Miller gave perhaps the best endorsement an equipment manufacturer could ask for:
“Yes, but not to my competitors in the area… don’t want them to get one. They can just keep their [brand name machines].”
With a Roper Whitney AutoBrake® and a hard-working, dedicated team, MG Metal stands well-equipped to make all kinds of architectural metal projects — from big, challenging, technical jobs to all those small and specific — a success in Southwest Montana.
