History
As the second world war was ending, and war time restrictions on the use of metals were lifted, production of architectural items was in demand to replace to the items that had been donated to melt down into the materials of war. One thing in demand, were liturgical items like church offering plates. Eugene Verhein had some experience in the trade, so he decided to purchase a machine and worked to make & sell liturgical items. Focused on this particular business, Church Metal Spinning Company was founded.
Eventually, Eugene’s sons joined him in the business, moving to their current location in 1955. The Company leveraged the metal spinning capability to add engine and equipment manufacturers as their main Customers. Donald and Gene Verhein invested in the business, developing an automatic play spin machine and investing in the first commercial laser in southeastern Wisconsin.
Kim Verhein Herro, Donald’s daughter, our current owner, purchased the Company from family in 1995 and reinvigorated the Company. Her brother Mark joined her in 1998. Since then, Church Metal has invested new machinery in the Company’s core capabilities – metal spinning and forming, laser cutting and welding. Church Metal is focused on continuous improvement – investing in new machinery and in training our employees. We have grown from 14 employees in 1995 to over 40 and also doubled our manufacturing foot print.
We continue to improve our service offerings through updated machinery and training for our team of qualified spinners, formers, and laser operators. Our investments in new equipment and our people will help us to increase low-volume production up to 75,000pcs annually within the next few years.
