Mac Metals Inc., Kearny, NJ., is pleased to announce the launch of their new website. The Mac Metals site has been completely re-designed with the purpose of educating users about the advantages and applications for brass, bronze and nickel silver extrusions. Content is geared toward the needs of design professionals, metals fabricators, contractors and original equipment manufacturers that can benefit from using custom architectural extrusions. Products, services and industrial specifications information is easily accessible and the site provides access to key links within the marketplaces Mac Metals serves. The website also links to the Mac Metals Twitter www.twitter.com/MACmetals profile, Facebook www.facebook.com/pages/MAC-Metals/112303432142346 fan page and YouTube www.youtube.com/user/MACmetalsInc channel. We believe that the new site serves our marketplace by first identifying key applications for our copper-alloy extrusions and then explaining the value that custom extrusions impart—aesthetics, durability, key physical and mechanical properties and over-all cost effectiveness says Mark Sisson, sales manager at Mac Metals. Providing example profiles on each application page will be a big help in generating interest in architectural extrusions. Visit the web site at www.macmetals.com or call 800.631.9510.
