In 2015, SST Forming Roll Inc. experienced changes to management in their Buffalo Grove, Illinois office. Bringing new ideas and energy, and a forward momentum to not only the designers and shop employees but to the ideas of manufacturing and customers service. Former Production Manager, Stanley Green was promoted to GM of Operation, as well as the addition of Hiro Watanabe as Manager of Sales. Mr. Green has been with the company since 1998 and contributed greatly to introducing the supply of forming roll tooling to more than 20 countries worldwide. Having a ‘work hard, play hard’ attitude in life, it is without surprise that the guidance of Mr. Green has led to SST’s successful reputation in the pipe and tubing industry. His honest and strong work ethic has earned him a reliable reputation among customers, that will keep business going strong.
In order to keep SST as a top choice in manufacturing, the company has developed an authority on roll forming by working with their parent company Sanyo Seiki. Together, they have contributed more than 80 years of experience in tool design and manufacturing procedures and expanded outside of the U.S. and Asia to more than 50 countries worldwide. SST, with Sanyo Seiki, has been able to successfully accomplish forming automotive use in High Tensile Strength Steel such as, DP980 material, small diameter heavy gauge and large diameter light gauge. Additionally, by purchasing raw steel directly from the steel makers, SST supplies customers the best prices and materials available on the market.
SST is proud to offer customers design options for not only Forming Rolls, but also Open Profile shape products, straightener rolls, feed rolls and other special rolls. Accommodating a variety of forged tool steel to suit different applications. Manufacturing processes that are done in house, include heat treatment, as well as the capabilities of FEA analysis of closed and open profiles. This ability affords the customers further accuracy for both open and closed profiles.
The future of SST Forming Roll will place much distinction on mass production and maintaining reliable and cost efficient roll forming methods. Through their 80 years of combined experience with Sanyo Seiki, they are able to advise customers on a products capabilities of manufacturing. The simple and old fashioned belief of honesty and integrity, throughout of the manufacturing process, is what will set SST Forming Roll Inc. apart from other manufactures; and take customers ‘beyond’ with their products.
