Precision Metal Stamping

We Stamp Ideas Into Reality
Die-Tech, Inc. manufactures precision metal stampings for the automotive, military, aerospace, electronics, and telecommunications industries. We team with manufacturers to develop custom designed stampings to meet individual program requirements. We then manufacture our own progressive dies to stamp those custom precision metal stampings, automotive terminals, fine-pitch connectors, hybrid edge clips, tabs, coils, leadframes, heat spreaders, and other burr free, light-weight, complex formed or flat metal components.

If you’re looking for a trusted adviser, preferred vendor, or innovative partner for your metal stamping needs – look no further. Die-Tech specializes in design assistance, rapid prototyping, practical die construction, and long term production of high quality, cost-effective precision metal stampings. We invite you to leverage our experience and expertise with precision metal stamping to take your business to the next level.

A United States Manufacturer Serving the World
Die-Tech is based in the United States, and serves a global marketplace. Clients from the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have discovered the benefits of collaborating with an innovative and nimble partner like Die-Tech. If time is an issue for you, rest assured it isn’t for us – we can deliver production ready, sophisticated custom metal stampings within 4 weeks. Even “impossible” metal stampings can be delivered with just a few additional weeks. And you don’t have to sacrifice quality for this kind of speed – Die-Tech is certified ISO 9001-2001 - ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001-2000 and TS16949 for the manufacture of stamped products.

We Understand the Challenges Faced in Using Metal Stampings
Nothing will frustrate your attempts to meet your customer’s expectations faster than inferior precision metal stampings. As a second-generation family owned business, we have a unique hands-on experience in the stamping marketplace. We understand firsthand the challenges customers face when seeking precision and “impossible” metal stampings. If you’ve experienced any of the challenges below, then Die-Tech can partner with you to overcome these obstacles:

Design Assistance
•    Design: Not sure if your precision metal stampings design will work? Worried that no one can work metal within the tolerances needed for your project? Poor initial design can cost you time and money. Early collaboration with a Die-Tech engineer who specializes in precision metal stampings and can understand your objectives and budget will take you to the next level. We take responsibility for the design and manufacture of individual tools, die construction, process development, preventive maintenance, secondary finishing or assembly processes, packaging, and final delivery to your manufacturing center.

Rapid Prototypes
•    Prototypes: How can all possibilities of a new idea be explored in a cost-effective manner? Can your idea be quickly and accurately realized as a prototype, before the competition beats you to it? The seeds of success or failure are sown early in the process of new product design. Selecting the right adviser and partner to help in the design, build and development of new products is the most important step. At Die-Tech, we believe we have the experience, reliability, credibility, and empathy you’re looking for in a trusted partner.

Progressive Die Build
•    Progressive Dies: Why are progressive dies so expensive and slow to build? What can be done to speed up the time it takes to make new precision metal stampings products? Often the failure of a stamped product is not so much a failure of product design as it is poor execution of tool and die construction in the progressive die. At Die-Tech, we control the entire progressive die construction process so that there are no excuses or finger pointing about progressive die performance during the life of the stamping program.

ISO/TS Quality Systems
•    Quality Systems: Have other manufacturers left you high and dry with poor quality and inconsistent metal stamping products? Or are you confused about all the certified quality systems, and find yourself wondering what distinguishes one system from another? Die-Tech uses the discipline and tools of the ISO/TS system to fuel our commitment to quality. The external auditing process challenges us to live our documentation, benchmark our performance, question the status quo, and create higher performance standards for every member of the corporation. If you've experienced the frustration of working with companies that hide behind procedure, then you might appreciate the advantages of an organization that is open and receptive to changes that make sense to all stakeholders.

A Real Person Answers the Phones
•    Solutions: Sometimes even the best laid plans can go wrong. What happens when things get ugly with your metal stampings needs? If you’ve had problems with your metal stamping solutions – including stampings that need to be smaller and lighter and finer-pitched, metal that is too expensive, soldering failures, sloppy tolerances, low capacity, poor yield, or high cost – then you need to talk to Die-Tech. We’ve used our precision metal stampings to eliminate many production headaches and sleepless nights for our customers. See who is who at Die-Tech.

Precision Metal Stampings of all Kinds
•    Terminal Leadframes: Need a robust, custom designed precision metal stamping that will withstand harsh environments? Does your next venture demand a sturdy, specially made, precision metal stamping? Do you use metal stampings that require plastic over-molding? Die-Tech Terminal Leadframes are robust, reliable, precise metal stampings that may be exposed to harsh environments; such as those found in automotive, military, aerospace, or industrial controls applications. These unforgiving conditions are what the Terminal Leadframe model was created to address. Our focus on the customer's challenges, in-house efficiencies, and teaming with York Imperial Plastics enables Die-Tech to fast-track the product to production. This time-to-market advantage is key to our customer's ability to compete in today's global economy.

•    Leadframe, Edge Clips, and Connectors: Are poorly designed products making it impossible for you to take advantage of the ability to integrate miniaturizing, fixturing, handling, locating, or orienting features in your leadframes, edge clips or connectors? Precision leadframe and edge clips do make the difference in the quality, consistency, and ability of your organization to meet your customers’ expectations. Die-Tech manufactures leadframe, hybrid edge clips, connectors and other precision metal stampings for the electronics, automotive, military, aerospace and telecommunications industries.

Die-Tech specializes in servicing the following industries:
