IMETCO Factory Tour - Norcross

Go inside IMETCO (Innovative Metals Company) in Norcross, Georgia — a leader in high-performance metal building envelope systems used in commercial and architectural construction. This guided tour will showcase how advanced metal fabrication, precision forming, and custom engineering come together to produce a broad range of architectural metal solutions that combine performance, durability, and design flexibility right here in Georgia.

About the Facility

IMETCO is headquartered and manufactures at its Norcross campus on South Old Peachtree Road, where it fabricates metal components for roof, wall, deck, and cladding systems that protect and define building exteriors. The company’s product range includes standing seam and architectural metal roof panels, concealed- and exposed-fastener wall panel systems, rainscreen systems and air barriers, metal decking products, and custom trim and accessories engineered for performance and aesthetic appeal. IMETCO also offers design support, custom fabrication, and engineering services to ensure metal solutions meet project-specific requirements.
