We've trusted Modern as our primary painting partner for machined parts, and they consistently deliver excellent quality and reliability.

Kyle Beaudway

President, Industrial Metal Fab, Inc

They play a critical role in helping us maintain performance, compliance, and efficiency across our business. We enjoy working with the team at Modern Material's.

Alyshia Hartsuyker

Production Control Supervisor, Grede Foundry - Meadville

I have worked for Grede for a little over 3 years and we have worked with many vendors, but Modern Materials stands in a league of their own. Their commitment to our success goes far beyond just fulfilling orders and simply doing a job, they are a true partner and a big key to our success.

A huge shoutout to the whole team who always goes above and beyond to meet any last-minute schedule changes and requests. There have been many occasions when someone has stayed over to make sure a truck was loaded and I can't express enough how much that is appreciated, and the extra effort does not go unnoticed.

Not only is the quality of their work top tier, the customer service and genuine connection with the whole team is very impressive. It is apparent in all communications and interactions they are all committed to the best customer service possible, and they certainly make my chaotic, stressful, production control position a little easier to manage.

Thank you all for everything, I appreciate everything you do for us! Looking forward to working together for many years to come,

Alexandria Holloway

I'm proud to be part of a team that truly values its people.
