Penn Sheet Metal

What Penn Sheet Metal does

Penn Sheet Metal (operating as PSMLV INC DBA Penn Sheet Metal) is a family-owned, precision metal fabricator founded in 1921 and headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The company operates from a single facility and is sized between 11 and 50 employees, serving construction, industrial, restaurant, medical, electronics, and art/decorative customers primarily across the Northeast US. With over 100 years of continuous operation, the firm functions as a regional, full-service sheet metal shop rather than a national-scale manufacturer.

The business operates two complementary lines. The architectural products line sells roof panels, wall panels, perimeter metals, and drainage components — including proprietary branded sub-systems (PSF200, PSE175RS, PSECO) and a green roof edge restraint system — distributed through certified fabricator partnerships with Carlisle, Drexel, Versico, and panel OEMs including Carter Architectural Panels, ALPOLIC, ALUCOBOND, Reynobond, and Alucoil. The precision fabrication line provides contract cutting and forming services on TRUMPF laser, waterjet, CNC turret punch, CNC router, and robotic welding equipment (Vectis Cobot Welding Robot, IPG Photonics Lightweld). The shop holds AAMA and NFPA 285 certifications, qualifying it for code-compliant architectural envelope work.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based, quote-driven B2B sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and no long-term contracts, backlog figures, or recurring revenue mechanisms are evident in the input. The firm has no public funding history, no PE backing, and no disclosed revenue, making the company effectively a private, founder/family-controlled operating business with regional reach.
