Farm manufacturing
Builders of today
and the future.
The Farmers First belief names farmers as builders as well as growers and caregivers. SC Metal Tech is that line made literal — a colony shop in Manitoba manufacturing product that ends up on high-rise construction sites across North America.
SC Metal Tech specialises in laser cutting and metal bending: accurate, clean cuts across all types of metal, and press-brake forming that holds consistent angles from simple brackets through to complex enclosures.
Farmers First supports the sales of their manufactured products across North America. Contact at the shop is Rodney.
