By Emma Peterson.

Save the date for this webinar about how Malco Tools’ unmatched efficiency and precision are helping professionals in the field.

Get ready for a new MetalTalk™ webinar on August 21, 2024, 11:00 a.m. PT! Karen Edwards will be hosting Shane Norman of Malco Tools. Shane has worked with a variety of equipment manufacturers before finding his place at Malco as a senior product marketing manager. He received a bachelor’s in general business management and mechanical engineering from the University of St. Thomas and got his MBA from the University of Illinois.

During the MetalTalk, Shane and Karen will discuss the launch of Malco’s full line of metal benders and how the recent addition and innovations help not only those in metal roofing, but the overall metal accessory production industry. The conversation will also highlight the larger state of the metal building industry. This includes the history of the industry, the exponential growth it has seen and some considerations that are unique to working with metal.

Not only will you get a top-down view of how these new metal benders fit into the industry, Shane will explain some specifics of the products. This is everything from how they stand up against competing tools, how professionals can make sure they’re choosing the right product for the job and the value of these benders in everyday uses. Finally, Shane will share some of what to expect from Malco in the future and there might even be some sneak peaks for attendees!
