 About Hendricks |
|
|
Hendrick Manufacturing, (or Hendricks as we are known to many of our regular clients) was established in 1876, is a founding member of the Industrial Perforators Association (IPA), an organization dedicated to the promotion, production, and use of perforated metal across multiple industries.
|
|
Hendricks is not just a manufacturer and supplier of perforated metal, but a partner and resource for thousands of customers across North America. We participate in the design of new products and assist in the redesign with an eye toward improved quality and cost savings. |

If you are a designer or buyer, you should take advantage of our vast experience and perforating capabilities because holes provide solutions to a great many design problems. Round holes, square holes, rectangles, triangles, slots, decorative patterns - shapes only limited by your imagination. Hole sizes can range from a few thousandths of an inch to more than six inches. We can perforate thicknesses from foil to 3/4" plate. Material can vary from carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, galvanized, copper, brass, etc. |
|
| We even perforate paper, plastics and exotics.
Our multiple perforating presses can accommodate sheets or coils of material. We can perforate up to 60" in width (greater widths may be accommodated - please consult with Hendricks). Coils up to 20,000 pounds are easily handled. If your product is pre-coated or needs special care, we will apply the appropriate handling required. |

Perforating is essentially making holes with great accuracy. It is a special process and is unlike stamping and other metal-working operations. It requires a large investment in personnel, machinery, and tooling.
Hendricks is unique as we manufacture our own tooling. The experience of our workforce is a huge asset and is the basis for our ability to deliver top-quality products quickly. Our operations are 24-7, thereby reducing our delivery times. |

|
| We have thousands of hole-patterns to choose from. The IPA Standard patterns listed here are only a sample of our capabilities. Our tooling list is extensive and ever-changing. We will help you choose the right hole-pattern to accomplish your vision. We can also design new tooling as required.
Lastly, Hendricks offers many follow-up operations to perforating. We can shear, roll, slit, weld, form, paint, etc. In fact, many customers find that it is more economical to have Hendricks provide a sub-assembly or finished part.
We look forward to working with you as a partner. |
