Your Overflow Production Partner — Every Process, One Facility

Talk to
Our Team

Your Production Partner

When your production line is maxed out, a machine is down, or a project needs equipment you don't have in-house, we're the manufacturing partner other manufacturers call. From metal stamping to sewing and embroidery, we bring together capabilities most shops have to outsource across five different vendors — under one roof, with one point of contact.


Based in Florence, AL, Tri-State Metals provides production support to manufacturers throughout Northwest Alabama, Southern Tennessee, and Northeast Mississippi.

Why Manufacturers Partner With Us

  • One vendor, multiple processes — Consolidate sourcing instead of managing five subcontractors for one project.
  • Overflow-ready capacity — We flex to absorb surges when your internal lines are at capacity or lead times are tight.
  • One-off & short-run friendly — No minimums that punish you for a prototype, pilot run, or single custom project.
  • Fast quoting, direct communication — Talk to the people running the equipment, not a sales layer.
  • Hands-on project management — Our team provides consulting and project management support across your entire project, not just the process step you're outsourcing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What contract manufacturing services does Tri-State Metals offer?

We offer metal stamping, plastic injection molding, batch vacuum metalizing, roll forming, flatbed cardboard die cutting, sewing and embroidery, and DTF printing and press services — plus metal cutting and coating services and project management support, all under one roof.

Do I need to supply my own tooling or materials?

It depends on the process. Services like roll forming, flatbed die cutting, injection molding, and sewing & embroidery are designed around your supplied tooling or materials. Contact our team with your project details and we'll confirm what's needed.

Do you take on one-off or prototype projects, or only large production runs?

Both. We don't have minimums that punish you for a prototype, pilot run, or single custom project, and we also support long-term overflow and contract manufacturing at production volume.

Why use Tri-State Metals instead of separate vendors for each process?

Consolidating with one manufacturing partner means one point of contact, one quote, and one schedule instead of coordinating five separate vendors for a single project — plus our team provides project management and consulting support across the whole job, not just one process step.

Can Tri-State Metals help with production overflow when our internal lines are at capacity?

Yes — overflow-ready capacity is one of the main reasons manufacturers partner with us. We flex to absorb surges when your internal lines are maxed out or lead times are tight.

Have a Project That Needs More Than One Process?

Whether it's a single missing step in your production chain or a full multi-process build, we can quote it, schedule it, and run it — without you juggling multiple vendors.
