Value-Added Services
The work around the part. Lifts packed to your spec, parts held and released on your schedule, cut-to-length sheets, leveled blanks, and your steel pickled or slit at Heidtman plants first.
Ready for Your Line, Not Just Finished.
Most customers need more than the cut. These services make a blank or a stamping easier to receive, store and run.
-
Custom Packaging
Lifts banded with poly straps, capped and tagged to your spec, up to 5,000 pounds for production parts, sized for your forklifts and your line, with your part number on every tag.
-
Inventory Programs
We run ahead, hold finished parts in Toledo and ship them against your releases, so you carry less steel on your floor and still get parts when your line calls for them.
-
Pre-Processed Coil
Your steel pickled, slit, galvanized or otherwise processed within the Heidtman family before it reaches our presses. Pickling takes off mill scale for parts that are painted or welded; slitting sets the coil width to the nest.
-
Cut-to-Length
Flat sheets cut from coil to the length you need, for parts that don't need a die.
-
Secondary Leveling
Blanks typically come off the press flat within .020 to .040 inch. When your part needs flatter, we run them through a leveler as a second step.
-
Washing and Oiling
Parts cleaned, or oiled for rust protection, to suit your next operation, whether that is welding, painting or storage.
-
Deburring
Edges cleaned up for safe handling and a better fit in welding and assembly fixtures.
-
Foreign Trade Zone
Heidtman has foreign trade zone capability, for customers working with imported steel or shipping parts overseas. Duty on imported steel can be deferred until parts enter the U.S. market, and parts that are exported generally pay no U.S. duty.

Steel That Arrives Ready to Blank.
Send us your coil and we process it on a toll basis, or we source the steel through Heidtman Steel to your spec. HMP is part of the Heidtman family: if the steel needs pickling, slitting, galvanizing or other processing first, it is done within the family and brought to our presses.

Pickling
Scale removed, steel oiled.

Services, Explained.
Got a Print? Get a Price.
Upload the drawing and the yearly volume. The quote form asks for the rest, and an estimator follows up.
Can you pack to our spec?
Yes. Send your packaging spec with your print: lift weight, stack height, caps, straps, tags and labels. No spec yet? We will suggest one, and the lift planner above is a good place to start.
Can you hold parts and release them as we need them?
Yes. We can run ahead, hold finished parts in Toledo and ship against your releases.
How do parts ship?
On your own trucks or a third-party carrier. Drivers check in with our shipping clerk; see Before you visit for the gate and truck bay.
Who supplies the steel?
Your steel or ours. Send us your coil and we process it on a toll basis, or we source the steel through Heidtman Steel to your spec. Either way, it can be pickled, slit or galvanized within the Heidtman family before it reaches our presses.
Can you work with imported steel or parts for export?
Yes. Heidtman has foreign trade zone capability, so imported steel can be brought in and processed with duty deferred, and parts headed overseas can ship without U.S. duty. Call us with the details of your program and we will tell you how it would work for your parts.
How heavy can a lift be?
Up to 5,000 pounds for production parts, or lighter to suit your forklifts and racks.
Can you level blanks flatter than they come off the press?
Yes. Blanks typically come off flat within .020 to .040 inch, and we level them as a second step when your part needs flatter.
Do you cut sheets without a die?
Yes. Cut-to-length sheets are cut from coil to the length you need. Send the length, width, gauge and quantity.
