Metal Forming Solutions

What Metal Forming Solutions does

Metal Forming Solutions is a family-owned, privately held U.S. manufacturer headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, specializing in precision hot forming, cold forming, and butt-weld fittings for industrial piping applications. The company produces short-radius and long-radius butt-weld fittings, elbows, tees, reducers, and specialty radius bends (S8, S9, S58) in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 6" NPS, across carbon steel, chrome alloy, stainless steel, and nickel alloy grades manufactured to ASME/ASTM standards. It maintains Canadian Registration Numbers (CRN) for all 10 Canadian provinces and 3 territories under CSA B51, and ships globally to projects in nuclear energy, power generation, petrochemical, industrial boilers and heat exchange, commercial construction, marine, automotive, and aerospace.

The company's underlying capability rests on metalworking craft and metallurgy rather than software or automation: it shapes pipe and tube through mechanical deformation (hot and cold forming) without removing material, preserving wall thickness and producing custom outside diameter, wall thickness, and centerline radius specifications to customer order. A secondary operations/support site in Sand Springs, Oklahoma handles pick-up and delivery. All products are produced to project specification with quote-based pricing; the company does not maintain disclosed standard pricing or a transactional e-commerce channel.

Metal Forming Solutions sells through an enterprise field-sales motion: direct phone and email consultation with named contacts (e.g., [email protected]), toll-free and local lines, and a contact form, supported by content marketing resources (terminology, procedures, specifications) and a project gallery. Revenue is generated from one-time project-based orders for engineered fittings rather than recurring or licensed revenue streams. Its operating geographies span the United States and Canada, with claimed global project shipment, and its recognized customer base includes Cleaver-Brooks (2014 Supplier of the Year).
