From its turn-of-the-century factory in Nevada, Missouri, W. F. Norman Corporation still operates machines as old as the company itself. Production methods remain the same as the early days with sheet metal panels stamped one at a time on antique rope drop hammers, resulting in better quality control than modern hydraulic presses.

From its turn-of-the-century factory in Nevada, Missouri, the W. F. Norman Corporation still operates machines as old as the company itself.

William Franklin Norman, founder of W.F. Norman Corporation, began one of the most successful businesses in tin ceiling manufacturing. Starting as a traveling salesman for the Wheeling Corrugating Company out of Wheeling, West Virginia, Norman excelled in his work. At that time, Wheeling Corrugating was a large steel mill that also made products from their steel sheets such as roofing and siding.
William Franklin Norman founded the W. F. Norman Sheet Metal Manufacturing Company in 1898. In 1978, grandson Franklin Norman sold the business to Robert Quitno. It is still run today by Bob's family. The Tin Man is a 3-minute piece, courtesy of KSHB-TV, that aired on our 100th anniversary in 1998 as a part of the Kansas City Crossroads series with Bill Kalahurka.

I love love love this company. Professional and personal service, excellent product, extremely reasonable pricing compared to decorative wallpaper (lincrusta or anaglypta) super easy installation- and the local bar still has their tin on the ceiling from 1894. I love this company. Keep going. (The catalog alone is worth its weight in cyber gold for all designers)
