One of the country’s foremost wholesalers of sheet metal working machinery is Vorys Bros. Inc. in Columbus, Ohio. Richard S. Voorhees is manager of the machinery division. When he heard that we were putting together some information on shop layouts, he kindly submitted for inclusion in this booklet some very helpful information. Voorhees has assisted many shops in his trading area with their shop layout problems.
With today’s high wages, every employee must be kept working as efficiently as possible. Having an efficient shop layout helps you and your employees work more efficiently.
Specific data is not readily available, but it is generally believed that the vast majority of HVAC sheet metal shops are one- to three-worker shops with each fabricating an annual volume of less than 100,000 pounds of ductwork.
