R&D & Process Technology

From the first die to the final optical sort, we control the entire manufacturing chain in-house — which is how we hold micron tolerances at millions of pieces.

End-to-End Control

Eight In-House Process Steps

No outsourcing of core steps. Every fastener moves through the same controlled flow, giving us full traceability and quality ownership.

01
Tooling

In-house dies and tooling designed for the part and the process.

02
Cold Forging

High-precision cold forming with near-net geometry and grain flow.

03
Thread Rolling

Consistent, work-hardened threads to tight pitch and finish.

04
Machining

Secondary machining to final dimensional and surface requirements.

05
Heat Treatment

Controlled metallurgy to specified hardness and strength.

06
Surface / PVD

Plating and PVD coatings for corrosion, friction and appearance.

07
Auto Assembly

Robotic assembly lines with error-proofing and traceability.

08
Optical Sorting

100% automated optical inspection on critical dimensions.
