The company made a line of machines for sheet metal under the brand name Erco, including formers, shrinkers, automatic punching and riveting machines, and stretching presses. A review of Google Books indicates that the company's machines were distributed by Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. in the mid-1930s. Some new Erco machines are available in 2019, but the manufacturer is unknown.
