EXTERIOR BODY METAL:

Flex-N-Gate introduced the one-piece deep draw metal bumper to the marketplace in 1968. Today we manufacture over 84% of all metal bumper systems for trucks and SUV’s in North America. Flex-N-Gate builds steel prototypes and puts them through stringent testing to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the design. From initial design and simulation analysis to packaging and delivery, our exterior metal product lines are the industry’s benchmark. With over 87 presses ranging from 500 to 4,500 tons for exterior body metal, six paint lines, and five chrome-plating lines in-house we are able to maintain the highest level of quality on our components. Precise computer simulations are used for each part to analyze stress points, assess impact forces and examine design efficiency.

METAL BODY STRUCTURE:

Our first stamping facility, opened in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1968 to produce body structure parts. Today Flex-N-Gate  is a leading full-service Tier One designer and manufacturer of high-quality, stamped metal components and complex assemblies. Our manufacturing capacity has grown to 17 metal stamping plants, with over 239 presses ranging from 100 to 3,500 tons, and over 330 material-handling, robotic welding, and e-coating capabilities. From a 300-pound rear ladder assembly to a 2-pound seat bracket, our engineering and logistics centers in Canada and the United States support, design, test, and monitor every aspect of manufacturing for every part we produce.
