Experts in Spring Manufacturing Since 1960
Who We Are
James Spring & Wire Company is a U.S. manufacturer of custom springs, wire forms, strip forms, stampings, and assemblies. For OEM and contract manufacturers, we combine engineering support with disciplined production so parts are accurate, consistent, and on time.
What We Make (At a Glance)
- Springs: compression, extension, torsion, custom springs
- Forms: wire forms and flat/strip forms
- Metalworking: light stampings and value-added assemblies
- HVAC Components: Air Filter Clips & Fasteners
- Finishing & Secondary Ops: deburr, heat treat (through vendors as required), plating and coatings per spec
Materials We Work With
Music wire • Stainless steels • Spring steels • Phosphor bronze • Beryllium copper • Inconel and other specialty alloys (selection based on load, environment, and life-cycle requirements)
How We Work (Process You Can Trust)
- Define requirements: drawings, specs, or collaborative engineering
- Design for manufacturability: rate/loads, tolerances, coil count, wire size, fixturing
- Prototyping (as needed): quick iterations to prove form, fit, function
- PPAP or first-article approval: documentation as required
- Production: consistent quality across short runs or high volumes
- Quality assurance: inspection to print; lot traceability where specified
- Release strategy: blanket orders, scheduled releases, and inventory programs
Quality & Compliance
- Print-driven production with documented inspection plans
- Material certifications and lot traceability are available when specified
- Standardized work instructions to reduce variation
- Continuous improvement focused on yield, repeatability, and lead time
Industries Served
Aerospace/defense (non-flight critical), automotive/transportation, electronics, industrial equipment, appliance/HVAC, medical device components (per customer spec), consumer products, energy/utilities, and agriculture.
Why Engineers Choose James Spring
- Application support: we’ll review feasibility, rates, stresses, and tolerances
- Manufacturing depth: broad forming, coiling, and secondary operations under one roof
- Documentation: from certificates to dimensional reports and PPAP when required
- Delivery options: prototypes, short-run, and production with stocking programs
- Part lifecycle thinking: consistent performance from proto to mature product
Sustainability & Responsibility
We prioritize efficient use of materials, waste reduction in forming operations, and responsible sourcing through qualified supply partners. Packaging and handling options are available to protect delicate or finished surfaces.
FAQs
Do you manufacture to customer print?
Yes—build-to-print or collaborative engineering when requested.
Can you help optimize spring design?
Yes—wire size, coil count, spring rate, and tolerances to meet function and manufacturability.
Do you support prototypes and short runs?
Yes—rapid prototypes and bridge runs, plus full production with scheduled releases.
What documentation can you provide?
Material certs, inspection data, first-article reports, and PPAP levels when required.
Typical lead times?
Lead times vary by material and complexity; expedited options are often available.
