Precision and Progressive Metal Stamping
Unmatched Mastery of Metal Stamping
Metal stamping forms a flat sheet of metal into a net shape using a stamping press with a tool and die surface.
Precision metal stamping requires a single operation, making it suitable for simple parts with tight tolerances. Progressive metal stamping, in contrast, follows a series of sequential operations performed by multiple dies, which allows for the production of more complex parts.
By offering both precision and progressive metal stamping in-house, VMS distinguishes itself as one of the most versatile, high-production metal stamping supplier partners in the industry.
VMS Metal Stamping Stamping at a Glance
Superior Selection of Metal Stamping Services
At VMS, we offer a wide breadth of custom and progressive metal stamping processes on materials you wouldn’t normally find at other manufacturers. We create highly complex parts, and can stamp when competitors fabricate, which produces a better, more consistent, more cost-effective part. And, we do it all in-house to save valuable time and money.
We work with many high-demand materials, including but not limited to:
- Stainless steel
- Cold-rolled carbon steel
- Low alloy steel
- Commercial Carbon Steel
- High-Strength Carbon Steel
- Aluminum
- Copper
The VMS Advantage
We provide a number of key advantages to help our metal stamping clients get ahead of the competition
Diverse Capabilities
Unlike most other suppliers, VMS offers both precision and progressive stamping in-house. Not only does this allow us to produce higher-quality products in less time and at lower costs, which translates to significant savings for our clients, but it also means we can handle complicated jobs with ease and efficiency.
In-House Value
Keeping your project in-house from start to finish helps you save time and slash production costs. In addition to our custom metal stamping capabilities, we offer finishing services like welding, polishing, burnishing, and more, so you can go from prototype to production under one roof.
Standard and Custom Tooling Options
We'll align our tooling resources with your budget and timeline to get the job done. As a VMS client, you'll be able to choose from our vast collection of current in-house tool dies, or work closely with our tooling engineer to make modifications. If neither of those options work, we'll design and build a brand new tool that perfectly matches your project's unique criteria.
New Product Development and Existing Product Manufacturing
Whether you’re working on new product development or simply looking to ramp up production on an existing product, we’re your trusted partner. Our seasoned team of experts will support you at every step of the NPD process, giving your new product the attention and dedication it deserves. And, if your existing product needs a new manufacturing base, we’ll run with your design and tooling to increase production with ease.
Global Sourcing
Our global sourcing team combines in-house coordination with on-the-ground efforts in the international marketplace to expand your sourcing options from both domestic and international suppliers.
Quality Certifications
Our manufacturing facilities are all ISO certified (ISO 9001), and our team of experts is well-versed in UL, CSA, NSF, ETL, and CE standards.
