Technical Metal Specialties is an industry leader in metal fabrication offering the perfect blend between technology and experience. Today’s cutting-edge equipment, combined with more than 100 years of metal fabrication expertise on the floor, lets TMS deliver top-quality products that truly exceed customer expectations — every time.

The company was incorporated in 1971 as Flur Wire and Metal, supplying mass transit seat framing, illuminated menu boards, and point-of-purchase display systems. In 1990 Tim Michel and Tom Sheahan acquired the business and rebranded it Technical Metal Specialties. Over four decades it has grown to 108,000 square feet in New Berlin, Wisconsin, serving leading names in transit seating, military, OEM, P.O.P. displays, in-store environments, and custom fabrication.

What sets TMS apart is complete one-stop customer service: design, prototypes, sub-processing, final production, and assembly — from a team that supports fifty-person start-ups and global manufacturers with equal attention.

WHAT WE DO

Metal Fabrication Services

Six disciplines cover a sheet metal part end to end — cut, punched, formed, welded, finished, and packaged without leaving the building.

Laser Cutting

Short lead times, no tooling costs, and excellent material usage — with 24/7 operating capacity that keeps scheduling flexible.

Mild steel up to 1″
Stainless steel up to 1/2″
Aluminum up to 3/8″
Steel tubing and etching
Low to high volume, simple or complex designs

Turret Press

Multiple turret punches suited to mass production, backed by a deep inventory of tooling that saves both cost and setup time.

Mild steel up to 10 ga
Stainless steel up to 10 ga
Aluminum up to .190″
Built-up inventory of punch tooling, countersinks, and levers
High-repeatability production runs

Forming

Accurate forming 100% of the time — manual forming, rolling, or stamping selected to match part complexity and volume.

Mild steel 24 ga to 1″ thick
Stainless steel 24 ga to 3/4″ thick
Aluminum .020″ to 1″ thick
Press brake capacity up to 320 ton

Tapping, riveting, spot welding, and component insertion
Grinding, machining, and deburring
Heat treating and plating
Painting, powder coating, and silk screening
Assemblies, extrusion fabrication, packaging, and Kan-Ban programs
