Cat Shield by Miller CAT - State-of-the-art Manufacturing

29 Sep 2021

When you purchase a Miller CAT Cat Shield™, know that it comes from a company 100% committed to fighting catalytic converter theft and is doing so with world-class manufacturing capabilities, supporting as many domestic suppliers as possible.

We've invested millions of dollars into building the next level of converter protection devices that far exceed the capabilities of any other manufacturer out there. Our Amada EML 2515 AJ is one of the most sophisticated and powerful punch laser combo machines in the world. Not only can we cut pieces faster and more accurately than anyone else, we also have more sophisticated formed features in our products.

Our Amada HRB 1003 Press Brake is leading the next generation of products for vehicles that require 3D shapes due to the position of the their catalytic converters. Larger vehicles like trucks and vans and older vehicles with exposed underbody converters will require new solutions that our newest machines are solving.

Go ask any company out there where they make their shields and you will hear one of two answers: they either outsource their manufacturing to another company or they import it cheaply from overseas.

We are the only company willing to make an investment in building the best shields for today and tomorrow. We dedicate our machines to the Cat Shield line of products, giving us the utmost quality control.
