Precision In-Line Transfer and Progressive Deep Drawn Metal Stamping

GEM Manufacturing operates two advanced facilities equipped with 90 multi-station transfer presses, enabling us to provide fast turnaround and exceptional quality for precision deep-drawn metal stampings. Our cutting-edge technology allows us to meet the most demanding production requirements while maintaining the highest standards of performance and reliability.

Our advanced cold forming process produces high-strength, lightweight components faster and more cost-effectively than alternative methods. Whether simple or complex geometries, our precise, repetitive process maintains tight tolerances and optimizes raw material usage. The deep-drawn products feature uniform wall thickness, seamless construction, and a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to other metal forming techniques.

To ensure consistent quality and faster response times, GEM Manufacturing is vertically integrated, offering in-house design, tool fabrication, prototyping, and full-scale production, along with a wide range of secondary services such as finishing, printing, and design-for-manufacturing support.

Example Custom Metal Stamping Services Projects

Our cutting-edge equipment achieves fabrication tolerances up to +.0004″, enabling us to produce parts with diameters from .020″ to 4.00″, wall thicknesses from .003″ to .100″, and draw depths up to 4.00“. We work with a variety of metals, including aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, and high-performance alloys like Inconel and Monel. We accept customer designs in all formats and meet relevant industry standards, offering Kanban programs, vendor-managed inventory, and just-in-time delivery.

Located in the heart of the deep draw industry, we benefit from an unmatched skilled labor force. Our highly trained engineers and toolmakers work as a focused team to streamline processes, reduce waste, and drive down costs. Additionally, our strategic partnerships provide further cost savings without compromising quality. Trust GEM Manufacturing’s deep-drawn metal stamping services for unparalleled customer satisfaction and performance.
