What New Cal Metals does

New Cal Metals is a precision metal fabrication and contract manufacturing company based in Loomis, California. The company operates as a single-source turnkey facility, providing in-house design, prototyping, tooling and die development, and production for custom metal building goods and components. Its core manufacturing capabilities include CNC folding (up to 21 feet), press brake forming (up to 16 feet), progressive punching and stamping, and slit-to-width/cut-to-length processing (up to 25 feet) across materials such as aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, zinc, and specialty coated steels. Production capacity supports both one-off custom profiles and high-volume runs.

The company serves two principal customer types. First, brand manufacturers and product companies that engage New Cal Metals as an OEM/white-label partner — including Vulcan Vents (wildfire protection mesh screens and vents, where New Cal Metals is the sole manufacturer), Grip-Rite (sheet metal flashing and vents distributed by PrimeSource), Post Collar (fence post protection), and ZPost (metal fence posts with custom tooling). Second, commercial and residential construction customers seeking custom profiles, gutters, downspouts, architectural panels, flashings, fascias, and tapered panels fabricated to specification.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven pricing with no publicly disclosed rate cards; sales are handled through a dedicated sales team supported by a website quote request system, phone, email, SMS, and in-person engagement. The company operates as a privately held California corporation with 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding, ownership structure, or revenue figures.
