METALCON Did Not Disappoint

By Tom Stortz, John Stortz & Son. 

We had a great time at METALCON! Here are our highlights and takeaways from the show. 

John Stortz & Son was at METALCON this past month, demoing our metal tools and highlighting how the next step in joining this skilled arena of the industry is getting the right tools. As metal booms and more homeowners demand the material, the importance of quality metal tools needed for contractors to excel and feel proud of the work they have done only grows. We know that accessible high-end tools are key to building a skilled workforce of craftspeople, so we were excited to be on the show floor! 

A unique aspect this year was we had visitors from Europe demonstrating their new product, the Falz Bender. This new product creates the male and female product of a mechanical lock standing seam with one tool. This is a huge time saver when it comes to creating end panels (two male legs), shorter, curved or tapered panels. A huge time saver. 

We also were interviewed by MetalCoffeeShop™ about our tools and how they can help more contractors embrace metal. 

It was an invaluable experience connecting with our customer base and we walked away with a better understanding of filling the specialty tool industry needs and how John Stortz & Son fits in. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas next year!
