A. Zahner

A. Zahner is a industrial architectural metals manufacturer based in Kansas city Missouri. Zahner makes facades and architectural pieces for the exteriors of buildings around the world. These pieces are on a variety of buildings for a variety of clients. Everyone from government and private businesses to individuals. Basically anyone that wants a more than ordinary finish on a building. The staple materials that Zahner works in are aluminum, stainless steel, bronze, and brass. They use a variety of tools to cut, roll, break, and shape these materials to the specifications set forth by the architect, designer, or artist. Using a industrial break, a multiheaded pin roller, a hydro cutter, and a three axis rottery cutter there is very little that they are unable to do in their facility. Preferring to work in prefinished material Zahner doesn't have to invest a lot of time in finishing their pieces after they have been cut and formed. Upon arrival at the facility I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of mock ups they do for their clients to see to scale what they are buying.
