Mountain Ridge Metals

The aluminum extrusion industry in the U.S. is steadfast in its pursuit of meeting the massive demand for versatile aluminum across various sectors. Underpinning this momentum are reliable partners that can supply high-quality aluminum components.

Mountain Ridge Metals’ wealth of experience as a one-stop aluminum extruder positions it at the helm of the aluminum extrusion industry in North America, offering custom extrusions with premier quality and unparalleled customer service. It stands out as a trusted partner for distributors, manufacturers, and builders across various sectors like construction, automotive applications, packaging, and IT.

“What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to quality, exceptional customer service, and a family-oriented approach,” says Braxton Sponsler, president of Mountain Ridge Metals. “We prioritize true partnerships, focusing on customer comfort and satisfaction, not just commodity sales.”

A customer-centric company, Mountain Ridge Metals specializes in standard and custom extrusions with expertise in crafting distinctive shapes.

Recently, it added a 110,000-square-foot facility expansion featuring state-of-the-art extrusion presses to widen its product line. This additional capacity of 2200 ton press offers a broad range of extrusion shapes, sizes, and finishes to meet client needs. Its expertise extends to thin-wall extrusions, an unattainable skill for larger extruders with bigger presses. For instance, if the custom extrusion product fits an eight-inch circle, Mountain Ridge can custom craft it with unmatched superiority in final finish and quality.

The company has a broad range of solutions, including handicap ramping, fencing materials, building and construction components, solar equipment, and canopies.

It also offers solutions in material handling and storage systems catering to the distribution industry.

Precision, durability, and quality assurance play a pivotal role in manufacturing for Mountain Ridge Metal. The team adheres to the rigorous standards established in its quality manual, surpassing what many customers typically request. The quality system, rooted in ISO principles, governs every department, from extrusion to painting, cutting, engineering services, and more.

It focuses on delivering the highest-quality products promptly, adhering to the ‘Six Sigma Standard.’ This commitment ensures the product quality aligns with the anticipated standards of end-users. The company aims to exceed its in-house standards before considering external quality benchmarks.

The strong sense of family within the business extends to each client being regarded as an integral part of the extended Mountain Ridge family. Every client enjoys direct access to the team, regardless of order size, guaranteeing the fulfillment of their requirements. Leveraging its cross-industry expertise, it equips customers with a distinct advantage in the market, enhancing their competitive position.

A prime illustration of the company’s customer-centric approach is its flexibility to adjust production schedules. One of its major clients, who regularly purchases around eight million pounds of extrusion yearly, frequently requests changes to the production schedule. Over time, its team has developed a deep understanding of the client’s needs regarding their recurring orders, promptly accommodating schedule adjustments. While the standard lead time ranges from six to eight weeks, the team often delivers ahead of schedule, consistently exceeding expectations.

Mountain Ridge Metals stands tall as a trustworthy ally to its clients, capable of providing high-quality custom aluminum extrusion solutions paired with unmatched personalized customer service.
