About Netform

One company. Five specialized facilities.

NETFORM brings cold forming, flowforming, precision machining, automation, and selected finishing operations together across four facilities in Michigan and Ohio. Each facility contributes a distinct manufacturing role, giving customers more than one process and production path to consider as part and program requirements take shape.

Manufacturing roots dating to 1953. A broader NETFORM today.

NETFORM’s manufacturing history began in 1953. Over the decades, the organization expanded beyond its cold forming roots to add flowforming, precision machining, automation, and additional manufacturing capabilities.

The Shelby Township facility opened in 2003, establishing flowforming capability alongside machining. In 2024, MFC became NETFORM and Vickers Engineering joined the integrated NETFORM Group. TapeMaster CNC joined the Group in 2025, adding complex 5-axis machining, prototype work, and low-volume production capability.

Today, those operations come together as one manufacturing organization, with five facilities contributing distinct capabilities to the components and programs they support.

Five facilities. Five distinct manufacturing roles.

NETFORM operates five facilities across Michigan and Ohio, each with a specialized role within the organization. Together, they extend our manufacturing range from cold forming and flowforming to high-volume automated machining, complex 5-axis work, and prototype and low-volume production.

The manufacturing route starts with the component.

Different components call for different approaches. NETFORM brings specialized forming and machining capabilities together across five facilities, with engineering and process knowledge applied to the needs of the part and program. For customers evaluating a new design or rethinking an existing component, that can start earlier, with geometry, material, operations, and production requirements.
