progressive dies
Production Tooling
for repeatable stamped parts
A well-built progressive die reduces scrap, improves uptime, and keeps part quality consistent over long production runs.
Gromax designs and builds progressive dies for precision stamped components that require tight control, repeatability, and stable long-term production.
what we build
Gromax supports progressive die programs for stamped components...
Spring Clips & Brackets
Formed parts for retention, grounding, positioning, or mechanical support.
Busbars
Conductive stampings for power distribution and high-current assemblies.
EMI/RF Shields
Stamped covers or cans that reduce electronic interference.
Stamped Inserts for Overmolding
Metal inserts designed to be molded into plastic assemblies.
Leadframes & Sensor Inserts
Precision stamped frames or inserts for electronic packages.
Wire Form Pins
Formed contacts for signal, grounding, battery, or spring-force connections.
Ultra Thin Foil
Flexible conductive components using ultra-thin foil material.

when Gromax
is a good fit
Production Volumes Justify Dedicated Tooling
Progressive dies are typically best suited for repeat production where tooling investment is offset by part consistency, throughput, and lower piece-part cost.
Tight Tolerances Matter
Programs requiring repeatable dimensional performance, controlled forming, and reliable fit within mating assemblies.
The Part Has Multiple Features
Good-fit parts often include pierces, forms, embossments, coined areas, extrusions, lances, or cutoff features.
Material Behavior Is Important
We support materials such as copper alloys, brass, beryllium copper, nickel silver, stainless steel, and cold-rolled steel.
Long-Term Production Stability Is Needed
Programs where tool life, maintenance, spare components, and production consistency matter over time.
what affects tooling
Cost & Timing
Part Geometry
More features, tight spacing, and complex profiles usually require more die stations and engineering time.
Material Type and Thickness
Harder, thinner, or thicker materials can affect tool design, wear, forming behavior, and press requirements.
Tolerance Requirements
Tighter tolerances often require more precise tooling, added controls, and more detailed inspection planning.
Forming Complexity
Multiple bends, coined areas, embossments, extrusions, or lanced features can increase die complexity.
Burr Direction Requirements
Specified burr direction may affect strip layout, die design, and downstream assembly performance.
Plating or Finishing Needs
Plating, passivation, or special finishes can affect material selection, part handling, and production sequencing.
Annual Volume
Higher volumes may justify more robust tooling, automation, and added process controls.
Inspection and Validation Requirements
FAI, capability studies, PPAP, or customer-specific inspections can add planning, documentation, and lead time
Secondary Operations
Tapping, machining, assembly, or hardware insertion may require added tooling, fixtures, or outside processing.
where & how we
can help
Launching a New Stamped Part
Looking for tooling, manufacturability feedback, or production planning for a new design.
Moving from Prototype to Production
Preparing to transition from short-run parts to dedicated production tooling.
Qualifying a New Supplier
Evaluating stamping suppliers for quality, capacity, responsiveness, or long-term support.
Transferring an Existing Die
Moving tooling from another supplier due to business, quality, delivery, or capacity concerns
Addressing Quality or Delivery Issues
Experiencing dimensional variation, downtime, late deliveries, or inconsistent production performance.
Reducing Secondary Operations
Exploring opportunities to incorporate additional features into the stamping process and lower overall manufacturing costs.
Improving Process Control
Seeking greater repeatability, tighter tolerances, or more stable long-term production.
Reshoring or Consolidating Suppliers
Reducing supplier complexity or bringing production closer to the point of use.
Whether you're developing a new design, sourcing an existing component, or troubleshooting a manufacturing issue, we're happy to take a look.
