Pistol magazine technologies to enhance company’s defense capabilities
WARWICK, RI — (gunsandtactics.com) — ATW Companies, a leading provider of engineered metal manufacturing solutions, announces the acquisition of Metalform Company, a New Britain, CT-based gun magazine manufacturing firm, by A.T. Wall, ATW’s precision stamping and tube drawing subsidiary. The newly established team will combine ATW’s experienced, responsive engineering and fabrication team with Metalform’s innovative gun magazine manufacturing capabilities. The team will focus on world class quality and delivery to the firearms industry, from components to finished accessories.
According to Peter C. Frost, president of ATW Companies, “The acquisition of Metalform will enable us to expand our offering as a leading provider of engineered solutions in metal products for defense applications.

Among Metalform’s top products are 38 caliber, 45 caliber, and 9 mm magazines, supplied to many top firearms industry companies. Metalform’s key sales and operations personnel will be joining the new team to ensure that the business transition and manufacturing integration will be seamless to customers.
