Frequently Asked Questions

With cold forming, it is more cost effective to produce large quantities using the same die, so we recommend minimum orders of 10,000+ parts.

Depending on the size of part and the production machines used, we are capable of producing several hundred million parts per month. Depending on the machine used, we also have the option to build machines in-house to expand our capacity as needed. Please contact us for a production capacity estimate for your product.

We can work with a wide range of metals, including pure iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum and other metals. We can also consider processing special materials provided by the customer. Please contact us to discuss your material requirements.

Φ0.0039in ~ Φ0.9842in(Φ0.1 mm ~ Φ25mm).
Depending on your desired part size, we may be able to modify our in-house equipment to meet your needs.

0.0394in ~ 47.24in(1mm ~ 1200mm).
We can also offer special processing of long parts. Please contact us to discuss your requirements here.
