Sutherland Presses is proud to announce the successful installation of our advanced metal forming equipment at Guardian Bikes in Seymour, Indiana. This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in helping Guardian expand its in-house manufacturing capabilities.
Sam Markel, VP of Manufacturing & Operations at Guardian Bikes, shared his enthusiasm on LinkedIn:
“We’re stamping history—literally.
Our SUTHERLAND PRESSES just stamped the first U.S.-made top tube from high-quality steel, right here in Seymour, Indiana.
This marks another huge step in our journey to bring bike manufacturing back to the USA—four precision-formed tubes at a time.
With advanced automation, laser cutting, robotic welding, and now in-house stamping, we’re proving that reshoring isn’t just possible—it’s powerful.
The machines are humming. The sparks are flying. The movement is real.
Let’s ride—American manufacturing is rolling forward.”
Bowe O'Ryan, Business Development Manager at Sutherland, highlighted the partnership-driven approach that made this project successful: “We’re proud to support forward-thinking companies like Guardian with solutions that meet their evolving production needs. It’s not just about installing presses—it’s about helping our customers build smarter, faster, and more efficiently.”
The installation reflects a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term growth. By pairing Guardian’s modern production line with Sutherland’s precision technology, this collaboration showcases what’s possible when manufacturers come together with a focus on solutions and service.
Sutherland Presses is honored to be part of Guardian’s journey—powering production, empowering progress.
