Brad Moore
Dayton Rogers, a provider of custom metal stamping and precision sheet metal fabrication, has announced the appointment of Brad Moore to its sales leadership team, based out of its strategic Texas manufacturing facility. Moore transitions to the company following a successful tenure at a metalworking supplier, bringing more than 16 years of dedicated manufacturing expertise and sales leadership to the Southwest market and beyond.
Moore's career spans decades of front-line corporate sales, beginning in commercial banking before transitioning to the high-security records management industry, and ultimately finding his true calling in heavy industrial manufacturing.
Over the past 16 years, Moore, who holds an MBA, has established himself as a trusted partner for companies navigating complex supply chains. From aerospace and military defense contractors to high-pressure valve manufacturers, his portfolio spans virtually every major industrial sector. Moore,Äôs career is defined by a hands-on approach; he is a fixture at engineering conference tables across the country, actively assisting clients in evolving, optimizing, and refining their physical products for manufacturability.
The 25-Day, 28-Million Part Miracle
Moore,Äôs reputation for delivering under pressure is best illustrated by a project involving a national retail rollout. A high-profile customer faced an impossible deadline for a critical component: the stamped metal top of a Christmas ornament.
A traditional progressive die required to stamp the component typically takes eight to 10 weeks to engineer and build. Missing the window meant missing the entire holiday retail season. Moore and his team accepted the challenge, logging 25 consecutive days without a single hour of downtime, operating around the clock.
The team engineered and constructed the progressive die in just 25 days. Within three months, they stamped and delivered 28 million parts, generating over $500,000 in revenue and ensuring a flawless, on-time nationwide product launch. Most importantly, Moore secured the exact target pricing the customer required to remain highly profitable.
"I strive to be a true one-stop shop and a total solution provider for my clients," Moore said. "With my personal network of deep industry connections, I am fiercely committed to helping customers find answers and bridge gaps, even when a project requires capabilities that extend beyond the four walls of our facilities. My goal is always to bring the project full circle."
Leveraging the Power of Dayton Rogers
By joining Dayton Rogers,Äîa family-owned and operated institution that has shaped American manufacturing since 1929,ÄîMoore scales up his ability to deliver comprehensive, high-volume, and hyper-precise solutions to his customers, anchored by the massive production power of the Arlington, TX, plant.
Operating four strategically located, ITAR-registered, and AS9100/ISO 9001-certified facilities across the United States (Texas, Minnesota, Ohio, and South Carolina), Dayton Rogers provides massive logistical advantages, localized supply chain benefits, and minimized shipping lead times.
Through this partnership, Moore will offer procurement and engineering teams an expanded suite of Tier 1 manufacturing capabilities:
,Ä¢ Precision metal stamping: From low-volume modular stamping and complex, deep-draw parts to rapid prototype development and massive progressive die runs.
,Ä¢ Sheet metal fabrication: High-speed laser cutting, CNC forming, and heavy fabrications that eliminate expensive upfront tooling costs for low-to-medium volume runs.
,Ä¢ In-house welding and machining: Full TIG, MIG, spot, and advanced robotic welding alongside high-speed VMCs to handle parts from raw stock to finished geometry.
,Ä¢ Complete assemblies and finishing: A complete prototype-to-production pipeline, integrating multicomponent assembly and in-house powder coating under a single purchase order.
For design engineers looking to streamline their metalforming processes and lower unit costs, Moore will also be distributing copies of Dayton Rogers,Äô Metalforming Design Handbook (commonly known as the "Red Book"),Äîthe industry-standard technical manual for precision metalforming practices.
Procurement officers, project managers, and lead engineers facing tough production deadlines, strict target pricing requirements, or complex structural geometries are invited to connect with Moore to see how Dayton Rogers can bring their next project full circle.
Summary of what Moore brings via Dayton Rogers:
,Ä¢ True dual-capability: The unique ability to seamlessly pivot a project from low-volume, zero-tooling sheet metal fabrication into ultra-high-volume progressive die stamping as the product scales.
,Ä¢ Geographic footprint: Reduced transit times, minimized freight risk, and localized support via four distinct manufacturing plants across the U.S., including the powerhouse Texas facility.
,Ä¢ Strict compliance: Immediate eligibility for military, defense, and aerospace contracts via active ITAR registration and AS9100 Rev D quality credentials.
,Ä¢ Engineering support: Front-end design for manufacturability (DFM) support using the principles laid out in Dayton Rogers' proprietary Red Book to catch cost drivers before tools are cut.
