What MRL Tech Services does

MR6 Tech Services Inc. is a privately held, veteran-owned, family-operated business specializing in the sale, service, and refurbishment of sheet metal fabrication machinery for the roofing, siding, and HVAC industries. Founded in 2006 by Michael Ralich as a one-man service operation, the company is now run by the Ralich family (CEO Tracy Ralich, Special Operations Manager Chris Ralich, Service Manager Mitchell Ralich, Shop Manager Matthew Ralich, Executive Administrative Assistant Michayla Ralich, plus Preventative Maintenance Specialist Mason Werner) and operates from a dedicated facility in Lanett, Alabama that opened in July 2025, with a secondary pickup and training location in Valley, AL.

The company's product and service portfolio spans three pillars: (1) new-equipment distribution under its October 2025 Schlebach partnership — including Quadro and Quadro+ profiling machines, Quadro XL, RBM 25/38 and RBM 50 curve bending machines, Slasher slitting systems, PICCOLO and SPIDER universal seaming machines, MINI-PROF and HPM profiling machines, BIEGEBOY portable benders, and exchangeable cassette sets for standing-seam, snap-lock, board-and-batten, and soffit profiles; (2) refurbished used equipment such as CNC folders, mechanical shears, and legacy roll formers; and (3) services including on-site machine repair, in-facility refurbishment, preventative maintenance programs, equipment relocation and reinstallation, and parts and accessories sales. Chris Ralich internally develops proprietary rollformer control systems for both trim and panel lines, providing in-house automation and control-programming capability. Pricing on new Schlebach equipment spans roughly $47,100 to $224,984 with a 1-year warranty, used equipment from $9,900 to $55,000 with a 3-month limited warranty, and preventative maintenance is structured as an annual recurring engagement.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: phone (770-852-0669), email ([email protected] and [email protected]), and an e-commerce storefront at mr6tech.com, supplemented by facility pickup, on-site delivery, and free training. Customers are distributed across three primary verticals — roofing, siding, and HVAC — plus a long tail of general metalworkers and fabricators. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company is bootstrapped with no institutional or venture capital backing, retaining full family ownership and operational control. In May 2026 MR6 will mark its 20th anniversary.

Broad incumbents

• Bradbury Group: Global supplier of roll forming equipment, coil processing lines, and material handling systems for metal building products manufacturers. Comparable as an equipment OEM serving the same metal roofing/siding panel-production end-market, though at larger enterprise scale than MR6.
• Tennsmith: Manufacturer of sheet metal equipment including shears, brakes, and roll formers. Comparable brand whose equipment MR6 refurbishes and resells (e.g., 2008 Tennsmith MSE 10ft shear), serving the same small-shop and HVAC fabrication customer base.
• Engel Industries: Manufacturer of tube and pipe forming equipment plus related roll forming machinery for HVAC and construction applications. Comparable in the sheet metal / HVAC fabrication equipment space, though Engel is broader in scope (also automotive and structural tube).
• Roper Whitney: Manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication equipment including folders, shears, and roll formers. Comparable as a brand whose equipment MR6 regularly services and refurbishes (the 2013 Roper Whitney PX1010 shear in MR6 inventory), serving the same HVAC/roofing/siding fabricator customers.
• Formtek (Mestek): Group of brands (Lockformer, Roper Whitney, Tennsmith, Butech Bliss, etc.) supplying metal forming and fabricating equipment. Highly comparable as a portfolio of sheet metal machinery brands serving HVAC, roofing, and general sheet metal fabrication — overlapping directly with MR6's product and service categories.
• Schechtl (now part of Starmax): Manufacturer of folders, shears, and press brakes for sheet metal fabrication. Highly comparable product category — MR6 resells refurbished Schechtl CNC folders (e.g., the 1999 Schechtl MAB310) and serves the same HVAC/sheet metal fabrication customer base.
• Lockformer (Ascobloc): Established manufacturer of sheet metal machinery including roll formers, Pittsburgh lock machines, and HVAC duct equipment. Comparable as a long-standing incumbent in sheet metal machinery for HVAC and roofing fabrication, with a broader product catalog than MR6.

Direct peers

• New Tech Machinery: Manufacturer of portable and stationary roll forming equipment for metal roofing and standing seam panels. Highly comparable product line (MR6 sells refurbished New Tech SSP/SSH machines) and overlapping end-market of roofing contractors and panel manufacturers.
• Forming Concepts: A U.S.-based supplier of roll forming equipment, tooling, and technical services for the metal roofing, siding, and building-products industries. Directly comparable to MR6 as a specialist channel providing equipment sales plus technical/service support to roofing panel manufacturers.

Emerging players

• Pillar Machine: Supplier of roll forming tooling, replacement parts, and aftermarket support for metal roofing and panel manufacturers. Comparable to MR6's parts and accessories business (cassettes, tooling, replacement components), though focused on tooling supply rather than full machine sales/service.
