KWM Gutterman Inc. is a family-owned and operated manufacturer with more than 45 years experience in the manufacturing, service and adjustment of all makes of gutter machines. In the early 1960s Karl W. Minor Sr. became self-employed as a roofing, siding and gutter contractor. He purchased the first continuous gutter forming machine in the area.

Being part of the industry in its early years, Karl Sr. became very knowledgeable in adjusting and repairing roll forming equipment. By the late 1970s, the need for a national service organization became apparent and Karl’s name and reputation as an expert in roll forming equipment led to the formation of the current manufacturing business, KWM Gutterman.

The company’s daily operations now overseen by the second generation, Ken and Keith, are not only experts in manufacturing the Ironman, Panther and Watertite gutter machines, but are recognized nationally as experts in adjusting and repairing all types of roll forming equipment.

KWM’s modern facility supports highly trained personnel and computer controlled machine tools allowing for the manufacturing of the highest quality roll forming products.

KWM Gutterman is the sole manufacturer of the Ironman, Panther and Watertite gutter machines. All KWM gutter machines are made to order and produced in a 40,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility located southwest of Chicago.

Smart Machine
The Ironman Next Generation Smart Machine controls the gutter length plus or minus 1/8-inch without manually measuring the gutter. The machine does the work — the operator only has to cut the gutter once the machine runs to exact length. All the operator needs to do is input the length on the touch screen and push start. The machine will run to length allowing the operator to pause to install hangers or components to the gutter or adjust the measurement if needed, then simply push “resume” to finish the run. When inputting a length, the machine will automatically add for miters with a touch of the screen when applicable and keep a running total of material used since last reset and total footage. By activating the password protection feature only authorized personnel will be able to operate the machine.
