About the Company History
The Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, Inc began in 1979. What started
as a dream soon became a reality when Metalcrafters was asked to
build a prototype vehicle for a major OEM. The success of this
project was the first of many more to come.
Founder, John Gaffoglio, was born and raised in Argentina. He
diligently practiced the art of metal crafting by hand and later taught
his eldest sons, George and Ruben, how to master this art. He then
decided to bring their talent to America. Today, Metalcrafters is world
renowned for their signature quality in manufacturing prototype
vehicles of the future.
