Texas builds big, and Texas framers need metal studs that show up straight, cut to length, and priced right. The Formetal Company is a USA-owned steel stud and track manufacturer that has been making cold-formed steel framing since 1959, and we ship to job sites across the Lone Star State.
From data centers in Dallas–Fort Worth and San Antonio to apartments in Austin and hospitals in Houston, contractors buy metal studs direct from us to skip the distributor markup.
