Roll-Kraft was easy to deal with and responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns. Matt even taught me a few things about rolls and how to adjust for bow and taper. Roll-Kraft helped me find a cost-effective solution for forming channel-shaped parts. This will save us a lot of money in the long run.
Thanks, Roll-Kraft.

We recently had Yervand come out to our facility during a trial and his recommendations were excellent. He was able to give us insight into the forming and tooling necessities of the line, which allowed us to successfully form the part we required. We were very impressed with his experience, knowledge and commitment to help us meet our target. Thank you so much for all of your help and we look forward to continue working with Roll-Kraft throughout this project.

I have been working for Brasscraft for 38 years. I will be retiring on March 29. Before I leave, I just wanted to say a few words about my experience with Roll-Kraft.
Our company entered the tube mill business about 18 years ago. Before the arrival of our new tube mill equipment, I immediately started to do research to understand the equipment as much possible, learning about how often form rolls wear out and where to send them when they needed reconditioning. I came across the name Roll-Kraft in a magazine.
I called the 800 number and learned that one of their reps was in California at that very time. I gave him a call, and we scheduled an appointment for later that week. To my amazement and appreciation, he cleared some time and arrived at my plant a day early. That’s when I met Shawn Mitchell.
Shawn has been one of my most valuable resources. It has been a pleasure to rely on his experience and Roll-Kraft’s policy of on-time deliveries over many, many years. I thank you sincerely.

We recently had Matt come to our facility to provide training to our newer mill guys. Matt spent three days with us and did a very thorough and detailed job. We have no complaints, whatsoever. We were also very impressed with Matt’s service report, and we are applying his recommendations. We hope to make this training a yearly event to refresh us on the roll form tooling setup and keep good habits in place.

Frank’s visit last week was very beneficial for our operator and maintenance department. He was able to give clarity to the function of the over/under benders to our staff and make corrective adjustments. We appreciate his service.

Thank you Roll Kraft team! I understand the difficulties of moving schedules, orders, etc. Especially during this time of year when you are trying to stay ahead so your folks can enjoy the holidays. Great job and it is appreciated!

I was having issues with my 1.750” and my 1.250” tube sizes with the breathing of the tube. I was getting as much as .015 variance in size. I decided to contact Chicago Roll to see if they could fix the problem. I visited their facility, and they found a workable solution. After redesigning and regrinding the rolls, they were able to get it down to .005. We are now running a great quality tube!
I just want to say, “Great job,” to all involved.

We have broken all of the records for the company in the last 6 months, running over 20,000 metric tons of products each month. We never thought we would get to this point.
We owe much of the success to Wally Mullen and Chicago Roll for the support and delivery, when we needed it the most. We also appreciate the engineering team who continues to improve on designs specific to our needs. Well done, Mike Quintao and Arjana Bebo!

“I wanted to take a minute to thank the Roll-Kraft team and especially Tim Nahm. He is truly one of the best tube and pipe engineers that I have had the pleasure to work with. He took the time early in the project to get everything right so when the tooling came, all that we had to do was put the tooling on the mill and start running!
Thanks for your help and we look forward to continuing our business relationship”

Roll-Kraft Comes Through Right on Time
Roll-Kraft Team –
I called Bret in a mad rush to get new tooling knowing the delivery was going to be tough to meet and Roll-Kraft came through right on time! Bob sent over drawings for approval the same day.
In true Roll-Kraft form, you guys jumped all over this for us and it is greatly appreciated. Please pass on “thank you” to all that was involved.
