Skylar Hickcox from Best Buy Metal of Cleveland, Tennessee writes, "Earlier this year, we welcomed a new 28’ brake — officially the largest one we own. While many competitors typically max out at 10’ or 20’, this machine allows us to produce longer lengths with greater precision and efficiency. That means faster production times and even better custom panels and trim for our customers. At Best Buy Metals, we manufacture metal roofing and siding with 8 branch locations across Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, while also serving customers nationwide."

Haylie Christensen from Viotell Metal Concepts of Salt Lake City, Utah writes, "This machine represents a major step forward in our fabrication capabilities and the evolution of our shop.

More than anything it reflects our investment into producing cleaner, higher-quality work in-house as we continue to grow."
