Bend Project Wait Time in Half With Modular Metal Benders

By Anna Lockhart.  

For the metal professional looking to bend sheet metal on site by hand, Malco Products has released a new modular metal bender designed to help users bend metal with ease and precision.  

Malco Products is an industry-leading manufacturer of high-quality tools and products designed to save their customers time and labor efforts. For over seventy years, Malco Products has strived to be an innovative force, creating products that meet their customers’ expectations and provide solutions that make their jobs easier and more efficient.  

With the release of the new modular metal bender, Malco Products aimed to provide trade professionals with a tool designed to give them better leverage in creating long continuous infinite length bends to sheet metal. In an interview, Jon Olson, market research analyst and mechanical - manufacturing engineer at Malco Products, shared, “With a metal bender by Malco, you’re using a solution that can be used to make straight or radius bends for things like watertight details on metal roofing and siding. A lot of these cladding details are going to be imperative to get watertight and correct, and these tools will set you up for success in the field and onsite.” 

As metal roofing and siding continue to grow in popularity, contractors are becoming more and more interested in tools like the Malco modular metal bender. The ability to create these long, intricate lengths of detailed bending, tools like the bender help where traditional machinery cannot. As Jon said, Malco is picking up on this trend and meeting their customers and contractors where they want to be and providing the right tools fit for the job.  

“We’re providing them solutions that are going to allow them to quote a wider variety of jobs with quicker turnarounds and they’ll be able to hopefully reduce not only time spent in the field, but also increasing the amount of sales that can generate from quoting additional types of jobs,” he explained. He continued, “traditionally, these custom details had to be ordered from a manufacturer who would fabricate them. But now, by having this tool, they can pretty much do it themselves in the field.”
