Family-Owned Firm Continues Manufacturing Expansion with Acquisition of Precision Metal Stamping Leader
HIGH POINT, N.C. (July 13, 2026) – Hoffmann Family of Companies (“HF Companies”), a U.S.-based, family‑owned firm, today announced the acquisition of Allred Metal Stamping Works (“Allred”), a privately held U.S. manufacturing company specializing in custom metal stamping and fabrication.
Headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, Allred has built a decades-long reputation for precision, reliability, and customer loyalty across a broad range of industrial markets.
Founded in 1946, Allred began as a metal stamping supplier to the furniture industry—a cornerstone of the High Point region—before diversifying into a multi-industry supplier serving automotive, appliances, medical equipment, hand and power tools, sporting goods, fitness equipment, and more. The company has expanded its facilities nine times over its history, reflecting sustained demand and consistent operational growth.
Allred offers end-to-end production capabilities, including metal stamping, tool and die design and fabrication, and finishing services. The company’s in-house tooling capabilities and full-service model distinguish it from commodity stamping operations, enabling custom, high-volume production.
“This investment was a natural fit for HF Companies,” said Geoff Hoffmann, CEO of HF Companies’ private equity arm. “Allred is a high-quality, family-influenced manufacturer with a strong legacy, consistent growth, and a loyal customer base that has endured through changing market conditions. We’re thrilled to welcome Mickey and the Allred team to the HF family and look forward to supporting their continued success.”
“This is a defining moment for Allred and our future,” said Mickey James, CEO of Allred. “Hoffmann’s strong manufacturing platform and deep commitment to each company’s customers and employees made it clear they are the ideal partner for our next chapter.”
