About us

The Hi-Tech Team

Hi-Tech Metals was created in May 2005 with a desire to offer a service that “traditional” production shops were lacking.  We went in with a simple view to surround ourselves with the best equipment available, to hire the best people possible and to give ourselves the best chance of succeeding.

The Hi-Tech team is made up of 22 outstanding people (including Edan and Michelle of course!) who all have the necessary talents and experience to help Hi-Tech Metals achieve success.  Without these hard-working and fun individuals, we wouldn’t have been able to grow to what we are today!
