Since the early 1980s, metal perforation has been a cornerstone of Woven Metal Products’ (WMP’s) expertise. We deliver tailored solutions for everything from aesthetic metalwork to practical functionality for some of the world’s toughest industrial processes.

For industries like architectural and decorative metalworking, our custom perforation designs can help with light diffusion and airflow, while maintaining structural integrity. Perforated metal for these industries can be used for everything from modern office spaces, retail environments and building exteriors.

Our perforation expertise also supports industrial applications in diverse sectors including chemical production, oil and gas, refining, electrical / tech, OEM equipment manufacturing, renewable energy and water treatment. For these industries, precision performance can enhance ventilation, filtration and component performance.

Our team can create any configuration, size or perforation pattern for sheet metal or filters needed in these sectors in the form of screens, cones, baskets, strainers and more.

For instance, in ethanol production, our perforated metal sheets can improve grain drying by providing consistent airflow and better temperature control. Or in cases like electrical products or even data centers, perforated metal with customized hole patterns creates optimal air distribution for energy-efficient cooling.

Equipped for the Job

Our state-of-the-art CNC Trumpf punch presses and lasers, along with plasma, waterjet cutters and a 10-by-30-foot CNC drilling machine, all produce high-quality perforated products with precision and efficiency. Check out all our equipment for details.

With one of the largest tool libraries in the U.S. and the ability to custom-create dies, we can perforate metal up to one inch thick in virtually any shape or size, meeting the unique demands of each client.

Additionally, our extensive inventory of commonly used materials — including stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel alloys and other metals — ensures fast turnaround times, even for tight deadlines. And if a specific material isn’t in stock, we can readily source it.

Whether you’re seeking decorative pieces that elevate a space’s aesthetic or perforated components for industrial durability and practical functionality, WMP’s perforation expertise delivers.
