Metform Designs Roll Tooling to Form UHSS Bed for 2019 GM Trucks

In 2017, Metform International Ltd., a member of The Bradbury Group of companies, produced numerous advanced sets of roll form tooling for the automotive industry; some of which were for the all new, redesigned GM truck.  As stated in the article from Motor Authority, GM is incorporating a high percentage of Ultra High Strength Steels in their new truck to shed a large amount of weight. Metform has played a key role in the production of these frame components. 

The stronger yet lighter truck bed is an important feature for the redesigned GM flagship truck.  Metform designed and manufactured the roll tooling necessary to form the new truck bed. This is the second generation of load floor roll tooling Metform has provided for GM truck beds. Metform is the only roll forming equipment manufacturer to produce sets of tooling for a high strength steel truck bed. 

Metform joined forces with Marion Die & Fixture, also a Bradbury Group company, to design and build a custom, automated notching unit for the various truck bed configurations. Metform began its involvement in the automotive industry over 20 years ago and has significant experience in forming automotive sections specifically utilizing ultra high strength steels.
