A “Cut Above the Rest”
Our company, Howard Precision Metals, was established by Alva Howard in 1928. Having worked in the brass industry in the early 20s, he borrowed $1,500, and launched Howard Brass toward the end of the decade. Later on, Alva’s son, Bob Howard, directed Howard Precision Metals toward concentrating on aluminum instead of red metals and developed proprietary cutting equipment to set Howard apart from other metal suppliers in the 70s. That kind of dedication makes our company, Howard Precision Metals, a “cut above the rest”.

Business has also grown in recent years when it comes to the production of custom extruded shapes. Many of these shapes consist of saw finishes which have an advantage over machine finishes.
