Block

facilities to Skokie, IL in 1981.
Samson built its reputation on its technical expertise,
a reputation that continues to this day. Samson employs a
highly trained engineering staff to solve complex roll forming
problems. They have designed, developed, and engineered
tooling for more than 2,000
roll formed shapes ranging in complexity from simple
angles and channels to more exotic profiles requiring
multi-stage operations including pre- and post-notching,
stamping, braking, bending, assembly and packaging.
Samson employs the latest technology and methods to monitor
the quality of its products. Employees are trained in the use
of quality assurance methods including SPC, capability
studies, problem
solving, brainstorming, and Pareto Analysis, etc. Samson
strives to continually improve quality and reduce costs using
various lean manufacturing techniques.

thin walled tubing that supplants welded tubing for wall
thicknesses usually less than 0.030”.
