My name is Patrick O’Neill—most folks call me Pat—and I’m proud to say my roots trace back to the southern side of Chicago. Growing up there, I developed a fierce team spirit playing rugby, learning that success hinges on strategy, grit, and trust in your teammates. That same mindset guides how I approach every customer conversation today.
Eventually, I moved north to Milwaukee, where I discovered a thriving manufacturing community that shared my passion for efficient processes and quality output. Joining Mac-Tech as a Regional Sales Executive felt like the perfect step to merge my sports-driven discipline with the technical know-how required to help businesses excel. I consider my customers my teammates, and I’m here to equip them with top-of-the-line machinery and personalized support.
Whether you’re a family-run sheet metal shop or a large-scale commercial roofing company, I see every interaction as a chance to win together. From my rugby days to my Chicago upbringing and Milwaukee move, I’d like you to know I’m committed to integrity, partnership, and seeing you come out on top.
My Sales-Driven Tactics to Cut Roofing Scrap
I’m often asked how I eliminate scrap and boost profit in metal roofing with precision roll formers, shears, and press brakes. For me, it starts with pinpoint accuracy and maximum control over material. By investing in machines that offer consistent, tight tolerances, you avoid the trial-and-error approach that leads to wasted metal and lost revenue. I’ve seen brands like Jorns, Durma, and others excel at delivering reliable bends and cuts that keep your roofing panels in spec.
Reducing material waste in metal roofing production with precision equipment is simpler than you might think. Learn how accurate roll formers, shears, and press brakes help minimize scrap and improve profitability. Many shops assume they have to accept a certain level of discard, but that’s rarely the case. With the right gear, you can offset costs by reclaiming every inch of your material, driving bigger margins and leaving less environmental impact.
When I consult on a project, I focus on a blueprint for efficiency. I’ll help identify where small inaccuracies or outdated techniques might be inflating costs. Then, we implement machines that maintain consistent performance over the long haul. I wholeheartedly believe in pairing technology with education—when your operators understand how to handle these advanced machines properly, you’ll see immediate gains in production speed and minimized waste.
