CMI Looks to Expansion Through New Products

Corrugated Metals, Inc. is an independent manufacturer of industrial and commercial roofing and siding products which are marketed throughout the United States and overseas.

The company's founding dates back more than 100 years to 1887 as the New York Corrugating Company. During the first 80 years, the company was a sheet metal shop with a marketing area of Greater New York City. At that time, the company consisted of plain galvanized corrugated sheeting produced on a drum corrugator and press brake.

In 1964, Ed Carlton was asked to temporarily manage the business because of family illness. Temporary became permanent and by 1972 the company had a new name, an expanded market, and a new piece of equipment — a 28-stand, state-of-the-art rollformer capable of producing profiles with 4' coverage in all types of metals and with special finishes.

By 1975, CMI opened a Chicago, Illinois, plant to better service an ever-expanding market. Several rollformers, as well as other equipment, were added in the 1980's to offer a complete product line with a wide range of profiles. In 1990, CMI consolidated its entire operation to the Chicago location.

Together with his sons Tom Carlton, Vice President Marketing and Sales, and Ken Carlton, Vice-President of Finance, Ed Carlton is enthusiastically looking to the future with new products for the metal construction market and to explore acquisitions, as well as continuously to furnish CMI's loyal friends with a quality product and reliable service.
