SDZ Metal Spinning and Stamping Corp

S.D.Z. Metal Spinning and Stamping was established in 1929 by Max Schneider, who was joined by his son-in-law Bob Mersand in 1956. The third generation to join the company was Kenneth Mersand, grandson of the founder, in 1984.

In 2002 the company purchased Metropolis Metal Spinning which also included Empire Metal Spinning. The move enabled the company to provide lager Spun items up to 54 inches in aluminum, brass, and steel.

What is Metal Spinning?

Simply put, metal spinning is the transformation of a flat metal disc into a specific shape. It is achieved by rotating it at a high speed on a manual spinning lathe.

The flat metal disc is clamped against a spin block or ‘chuck’ and a series of sweeping motions then evenly transforms the disc around the chuck into the desired shape.
