Even in today’s high-tech world short run stampings still provide a key component in the lean manufacturing model. From 50 to 50,000 parts, short run stampings allows you to get a high quality part at an in-expensive piece cost. With a variety of stamping and metal forming companies out there, why should you choose short run stamping and the Clow Stamping Company as the supplier for your upcoming project?

PRICE- Both tooling and piece part costs are kept to a minimum through the use of common holders and common forming tools used by many of our customers. Clow makes all of their tooling in-house and maintains the tool for the entire production of the part. You can expect the tooling to be 5-10% of the average cost of a progressive tool.

QUALITY- Through the use of technical advances in both engineering and quality control, stampings will provide you with quality unmatched by most other manufacturing processes such as a turret press. A stamping can provide a prettier part without creating the burn a turret or laser would create.

DELIVERY- Technical advances, such as wire EDM machines, have drastically reduced tooling times. With an average on-time delivery rate of 99.5%+ Clow is set up to be the reliable suppler you can trust.

VALUE ADDED- With the aid of our outside services, which we work closely with, we can provide various value-added operations. Examples are: plating, painting, silk-screening, heat treat, etc.

To see how the Clow Stamping Co. can help with your next project, reach out to our team at 513-662-8115 or hello@weigel-associates.com for more information. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business.
