Northern Metal Products caters to the needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), providing customized fabrication solutions that meet the specific requirements of their applications. This establishes the company as a trusted partner for OEMs seeking reliable and efficient fabrication services.

Here are various OEM capabilities that the company offers:

  • Wire forming and assembly: This shapes wire into multiple configurations — such as bends, loops, and coils — to create components for different applications.
  • Welding: This joins two or more pieces of metal by heating them to a high temperature and melting the base material.
  • Laser cutting: This precision cutting process uses a high-powered laser beam to accurately and cleanly cut through metal and wood.
  • Bending/forming: These fabrication processes reshape sheet metal or other materials into desired shapes or configurations.
  • Inserting: This refers to inserting components, fasteners, or other materials into pre-drilled or pre-formed holes or slots in a workpiece.
  • Tube fabrication: This manufactures tubular components or structures using various processes such as cutting, bending, welding, and machining.
  • Powder coating/finishing: This applies a dry powder coating to a substrate (such as metal) and then cures it under heat to form a durable protective covering.
  • Machining: This subtractive manufacturing process removes material from a workpiece using cutting tools to achieve the desired shape, size, and surface finish.
  • Stamping: This presses or stamps a metal workpiece between dies to deform it into a specific shape or form.

Northern Metal Products specializes in point-of-purchase (POP) display manufacturing, offering expertise in creating eye-catching and functional displays for retail environments. It provides solutions that help clients display their products effectively, from metal shelving units to wooden signage and fixtures. In addition, the team works closely with clients to understand their brand identity and marketing objectives.
