Well before the recent tariff uncertainty, Horizontal Machining & Manufacturing Inc. invested in industry-leading large-scale manufacturing capabilities with an eye on helping American OEMs bring their operations back stateside without sacrificing scale. Today, we boast cutting-edge large press brake services capable of precision results in high-tensile strength materials up to 26 feet long. As large as that may be, we knew we had to keep expanding. Our newest and North America’s largest hydraulic press brake boasts fully-automated, 10-axis forming capabilities for components up to 60 feet long and will be operational by the end of 2025 to meet the growing need for domestic large-part fabrication.
The Competitive Advantages of HMMI’s Large Press Brake Services
Whether reshoring, searching for a more reliable domestic partner, or starting production from scratch, HMMI’s comprehensive manufacturing services provide OEMs and contractors with the scale, precision, and agility they need to succeed. These strengths are rooted in advanced forming technology, end-to-end process integration, and the infrastructure required to efficiently manage large, complex projects. These competitive advantages contribute to improved throughput, tighter quality control, and reduced supply chain risks.
We’re Making OversiZed an Understatement
When OEMs and manufacturers bring complex fabrication back to North America, they need large press brake services that combine scale, precision, and agility. Handling oversized, heavy components requires press brakes with high tonnage and long forming lengths, plus facility infrastructure like overhead cranes for safe and efficient material handling. Not many American suppliers have the capacity for standard oversized manufacturing, not to mention the larger-than-oversized components overseas suppliers can provide. With our capacity expanding from 26 feet to a massive 60 feet, HMMI is making oversized an understatement.
Reliable Precision at Scale
As part size and production volume increase, so does the potential for compounded errors and tolerance stacking, making precision forming non-negotiable. Whether a one-off project or volume production, HMMI’s large press brake services are backed by CNC-controlled forming with 2 and 3-axis back gauging for reliably consistent results across large, heavy sections up to 26 feet long. The arrival of our 3,500-ton Durma press brake with multi-axis control will expand our capacity even further with advanced crowning, real-time adjustments, and precise automated forming across lengths of up to 60 feet.
Expertise That Doesn’t Flinch
North America’s largest press brake, with 60-feet of advanced 3,500-ton, 10-axis metal forming capabilities, is set to redefine what domestic oversized fabrication really means. But scale alone doesn’t deliver reliable results. Forming high-strength, big and heavy components takes more than tonnage ratings and bed sizes. At HMMI, the team behind the machines is what keeps quality high and scrap rates low. We invest in ongoing training, safety programs, and cross-functional development to keep our workforce sharp, adaptable, and onshoring-ready.
One Supplier. Zero Bottlenecks.
When working at scale, every step matters, and large-part fabrication doesn’t stop at the press brake but includes cutting, welding, machining, and finishing. Piecing that process together across multiple vendors, even domestically, only introduces delays, inconsistencies, and risks. We proudly maintain integrated oversized manufacturing services, including CNC cutting, precision machining, AWS-certified welding, large-scale finishing, and heavy-duty material handling systems for end-to-end large-scale fabrication that ensures tighter quality control, faster turnarounds, and fewer handoffs along the way.
Speed Without the Trade-Offs
OEMs operating on tight timelines or juggling late-stage design changes, need a flexible and responsive partner that will quickly deliver without compromising precision, quality, or consistency. With our advanced automated processes and integrated manufacturing capabilities, jobs flow seamlessly from one step to the next, eliminating bottlenecks, cutting labor costs, and reducing lead times. Our state-of-the-art facility and experienced teams can scale up quickly, pivot with changing requirements, and respond in real-time when issues arise ensuring consistently high-quality results. This proactive approach, combined with clear communication and responsive customer service, keeps projects on track from kickoff to delivery.
Quality Control You Can Count On
With careful process planning, comprehensive quality control, and a hands-on approach that minimizes rework and maximizes repeatability, HMMI consistently meets the most complex requirements. Our team of AWS-certified welders brings proven expertise to each project and excels at achieving strong seams in high-strength materials, complex weldments, and demanding tolerances. HMMI’s disciplined processes, skilled craftsmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with precision machining post-weld and large press brake services, ensure structural integrity and precision at scale.
Our Strategic Location Secures Your Supply Chain
For OEMs reshoring large-scale projects or seeking greater supply chain stability, domestic production can mean faster transit, simpler logistics, and accurate coordination. Located in Huron, South Dakota, HMMI is strategically located with efficient access to most major manufacturing regions. With direct rail access and a facility built for large-scale work, HMMI helps keep critical projects moving closer to home.
At HMMI, We Make Reshoring Easy
Reshoring complex, large-scale fabrication shouldn’t mean scaling back expectations or specifications. HMMIM proves that U.S.-based suppliers can match the size, precision, and speed of global vendors with greater control, communication, and consistency.
If you’re ready to move oversized production closer to home with compromise, HMMI is your reshoring-ready partner. Contact us today to learn more and discover how our large press brake services can strengthen your supply chain.
