At Hascall Steel, we’re always looking for ways to improve quality, speed, and reliability for our customers. That’s why we’re excited to announce a major investment at our Canton, Michigan facility: the installation of a new stretcher leveler.
This advanced equipment will significantly cut lead times for tension-leveled sheets while delivering superior flatness and stress-free material—ideal for precision fabrication.
What Is a Stretcher Leveler?
A stretcher leveler is a heavy-duty machine that stretches steel beyond its yield point to remove internal stresses, edge wave, and coil memory. The result is ultra-flat, stable material that holds its shape during downstream processing.
Unlike traditional roller or tension levelers that mainly address surface imperfections, a stretcher leveler penetrates deeper into the material structure. This makes it the preferred choice for industries that demand flatness and consistency—such as automotive, stamping, appliance manufacturing, and metal fabrication.
How This Benefits Our Customers
With the addition of a stretcher leveler, we’re enhancing the value we deliver to our customers by offering:
- Consistently flat sheets ideal for laser cutting, forming, and precision applications
- Reduced springback and fewer downstream issues during manufacturing
- Faster turnaround times due to in-house processing and optimized flow
- Less scrap and rework, helping you maximize material usage and productivity
A Strategic Move in Canton
The new stretcher leveler is being installed in our 250,000 sq. ft. Canton, MI facility, which offers ample space for expanded operations and efficient logistics. With this additional space, we’ve optimized our layout for streamlined truck loading, helping us get product out the door faster.
This expansion reinforces our reputation as a responsive steel service center that’s easy to work with—and ready when you need us.
Built for Performance. Backed by Service.
From flat-rolled coils to tension-leveled sheets, our goal is to deliver steel that meets your specs and timelines—without the headaches. This investment is just one more way we’re working to support your production and give you an edge in a competitive market.
When you think Hascall, think responsive service, top-tier processing, and some of the best lead times in the industry.
