Rapid & Reliable Order Fulfillment

Look for a manufacturer who can stock the materials you need, and who can get materials when they aren’t in stock. At Newcomb Spring, to help decrease turnaround times, we stock a variety of commonly-requested metal materials. From high-tensile spring wire to 17-7 stainless for magazine springs and nickel-plated carbon steel wire for battery contacts, we can often reduce production times by eliminating the time to procure stock. We also stock specific materials based on customer needs.

As one of North America’s largest metal form manufacturers – and therefore largest metal purchasers – we can also leverage our relationships and buying power to acquire metal stock in virtually any marketplace condition.

Beyond the ability to form a component, being sure that your metal form manufacturer has the material needed to make those parts is an obviously critical requirement, and one that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Creating a new design or modifying an existing one requires the development of new prototypes. Streamlining this process with the right supplier can remove weeks – even months – from your development cycle.

Each Newcomb Spring plant houses a Kando Tech Center – a space specifically designed to help customers quickly develop prototypes – with dedicated equipment, staff, and space. Selecting a metal form manufacturer with in-place prototyping processes and expert support can help you be ready for full-scale production faster.

Producing metal components accurately and efficiently is key in modern manufacturing. With high-speed equipment, unchecked errors can quickly lead to excessive cost, in both wasted time and materials. Newcomb Spring has built our entire operation for compliance, quality and repeatability. Whether you have a highly-complex part or a large volume run, our state-of-the-art technologies and compliance are unmatched.

As a standard, procurement specialists should look for capabilities that include real-time production monitoring software, in-line dimensional analysis tools, and automated machinery. This equipment allows manufacturers to produce parts quickly and accurately, reducing waste, errors and run times. While these features are not necessary on every order, having a supplier that is able to provide them, sets you up for long-term success.

Every time a metal component is handled, and especially if that includes sending a part to an outside finishing service, there is a risk for problems. Newcomb Spring has built our facilities to house a wide variety of secondary operations and finishing processes. From assembly to stress relieving, our processes are designed for compliance and efficiency. Our manufacturing is also highly-automated to minimize part handling.

Ensuring that your manufacturer has robust in-house capabilities, with less reliance on third parties, will help you be confident that compliances and timelines will be met.

Quality is at the core of what we do – customers know that every order from Newcomb Spring meets the strictest requirements. But in addition to the parts themselves, procurement specialists must ensure that their suppliers comply with quality processes and systems. Suppliers must be able to properly handle information and control standards, especially in highly-regulated markets.

At Newcomb Spring, we comply with a wide variety of quality system certifications and manufacturing standards, so all the paperwork is readily available when a new customer request is received. We offer:

Be sure your suppliers have the in-place certifications you need, ideally more than you need. This will allow your procurement team to be able to quickly fulfill orders, source multiple parts from the same supplier network and also be ready for new requirements as conditions change.

Beyond the manufacture of a part, procurement specialists need to know that components will easily fit into their existing production lines. At Newcomb Spring, we offer a wide variety of packaging options so our parts easily fit into processes. We also create custom solutions, as well as options to address customer requests, including corrosion prevention, part protection, labelling, bar coding and more.

OEMs should look for a metal form supplier that can adapt to existing processes and make it easy to use supplier parts in their existing operations.

When time is critical, you need a resource you can trust. While our manufacturing facilities use some of the most advanced technologies available, it’s our people that make Newcomb Spring the go-to-supplier for many. From in-house design assistance, to our Springulator® Spring Calculator app to customer-focused service – our entire operation is focused on exceeding customer expectations and making order procurement easy.

A part supplier needs to have experience, expertise and a 24/7 focus on service, so when production requirements are tough, your supply network is ready to go.
