This was the beginning of the business we enjoy today and this exact product, with some refinements, is still sold to this day!<\/p>\n
The product offering grew, based on Bryce\u2019s passion and unique skills. Next came aircraft hopper boxes and helicopter spreading buckets for hill country in the 1980s. From day 1, Metalform\u2019s unique position as engineers and manufacturers, was very clearly led by design and innovation.<\/p>\n
Today, Metalform\u2019s design-led philosophy still remains the backbone of the company and is driven by Bryce\u2019s son, Geoff and grandson, Campbell.
