Founded 2020.
Joining metal since 1999.
When PLT President Byron Selorme started out as a press operator in 1997, he had never heard of cold metal joining. Fifteen years later, he was promoted to Director of Engineering at clinching powerhouse Norlok. And in 2020, Sandy and Byron founded Press Lock Technologies.
Since then, PLT has become known for quality clinching equipment and dedication to serving their customers.
