Controlling as Much as Possible with Your Own

Custom Metal Tile Roofing System

By Lance Eagle, Business Development & Sales Manager, Bradbury Metal Tile Roofing Solutions (BMTRS)

Article released by  Jim Austin, Targeted Content Inc. 

The more control you have running your business, the better chance you have of being successful. A trend in the metal roofing business for the last few decades has been for roofing companies to purchase roll forming machines to produce a specific standing seam profile or multiple profiles. Some of these roll formers are large machines, set up in a manufacturing plant and some are smaller portable machines, driven right to the jobsite on a small trailer with enough coil to produce the roofing for a particular project. 

Either way, by owning a roll former, you gain control over the production of your roofing needs. There are added responsibilities that come with owning a roll former … it requires someone with proper training to operate and maintain the machine. You need warehouse space to store coil and any other accessories required for a particular roofing a job. It’s all about more control of your business. 

How does that help those who choose to offer metal tile and shingle roofing?

Athader and Leveltek Sign a Strategic Agreement for Stretch Leveler Cut-To-Length Lines

Athader, A Bradbury Group Company located in Spain, has signed a strategic agreement with Leveltek International, a U.S. company, for the worldwide supply of stretch leveling cut-to-length lines after being awarded a contract by a well-known European service center for a line of this type. This will be the third installation of a Athader/Leveltek stretch leveler CTL line.

Evaluate your needs. Know your options. Utilize available technology.

The phrase "inventory management" has various meanings to manufacturing companies, but to achieve optimum results in your manufacturing process, combining your inventory management with your roll forming operation is the best solution.  Inventory management can include coil inventory, scrap reduction, production reporting, tracking, preventative maintenance, customized evaluations, and more. Read the article, "Inventory Management & Plant Integration for Roll Formers," written by Shawn Huffman, Beck Automation Sales Manager, in the August issue of Metal Roofing Magazine. 

Gain Industry Insight. Ask questions. Learn from the Industry Leaders.

The Bradbury Group has three representatives who will share their knowledge, processes, and advice during the FMA World Class Roll Forming Virtual Workshop in September. The four-day virtual conference will cover the complete roll forming process from beginning to end; discussing roll forming justification, complete roll forming systems, design, tooling design and installation, material handling, and more.

Did you know that The Bradbury Group has an Equipment Rebuild Program? 

The Bradbury Group of Companies are known for their long-lasting equipment that operates for decades. When it becomes time to decide whether or not to buy new or refurbish, our Equipment Rebuild Program is a great option to consider.

In reality, we know that not all machines are maintained or serviced to the full extent of the manufacturer's direction. They are just that - a used machine - beat up, pushed to full capacity, and well worn. After a good cleaning, they can look bright and shiny, but the inner-workings and heart of the machine may be at the breaking point and less efficient than they once were. 

What does a Rebuild Entail?

A rebuild from The Bradbury Group consists of a meticulous inspection of all mechanical parts, electrical components, controls and safety features. All parts are disassembled and a determination is made as to which can be repaired, replaced, or upgraded. The machine is then reassembled, painted, and tested, returning it to "like new" condition.

What does a Rebuild Actually Look Like?

A Bradbury Customer requested a rebuild of their 1996 model B.O.S.S.^TM Shear and Stock Reel recently. We were able to capture this transformation with some before and after pictures.
