A GMi Success Story

At Monti, Inc., we pride ourselves on delivering sheet metal fabrication services, transforming flat sheets of metal into desired shapes and structures through techniques like cutting, bending, forming, and assembling.

From prototyping and repair to retrofit and high-volume production, we handle everything from individual parts to large weldments. Our expertise in sheet metal fabrication recently transformed a challenging process for GMi Companies, showcasing how our innovative solutions can drive efficiency and cost savings.

A Partnership Built on Innovation

David Potter, a development engineer at GMi Companies, faced a significant hurdle: the lengthy production times for their aluminum dry erase frames. Having worked with Monti, Inc. for two-and-a-half years, David had seen our outstanding fabrication work firsthand. He approached us to see if we could streamline their process. Our team of skilled engineers analyzed the challenge and proposed a game-changing solution—switching from aluminum to steel and implementing a direct production process involving lasering, forming, and welding.

This new-and-improved approach slashed material costs significantly and boosted GMi’s assembly production by an impressive 150%. By leveraging our advanced sheet metal fabrication capabilities, we helped GMi achieve their goal of delivering a quality product at a fair price without compromising on performance.
