Manatee sheet metal manufacturer buys seven machines to boost efficiency

Gator Stamping International Inc., a Manatee County-based manufacturing company specializing in sheet metal and stamping, has succeeded over the last 35 years with CEO Paul Cronen running the company with laser-like efficiency. 

New machinery, an eye on the scrap market and a continuous churn of quality projects keep the momentum going. “The kind of stuff that I think has kept Gator alive for a lot of years is the extra mile we go to try to help the customer save money,” Cronen says.
