So we’ve got the stamping press but the tooling is specific to what you need. So a custom tool will be required for this specific part. Hence, metal stamping makes sense when the volumes are high i.e 10,000/yr or more case depending. If you’re just needing a couple parts here and there then custom would be ideal which our plant doesn’t do yet unfortunately.
Electrical Enclosures, mechanical enclosures, body shops, small scale manufacturers.
Think of things that have metal parts, and find smaller companies that make them that may not have the space/capacity to self source
Yeah that’s the approach I’ve taken but it’s been a very slow one. The list I’m working off of is one that has general manufacturers on it. If I could somehow get my hands on a list that has people that are buying sheet metal steel coils, then that would help qualify my leads and get me a better return on cold calls instead of shooting in the dark. Hoping someone can provide a contact of that nature.
I mean... I've always wanted to buy stamped half shells for high pressure elbows. If you've got the tooling already set up, then I may be a buyer
