Custom Spring Manufacturing
For nearly 75 years, Stalder Spring Works Inc. has built a reputation for solving complex spring challenges with adaptable processes and inventive thinking. As one of the industry's leading custom spring manufacturers, our team approaches each project with a problem-solving mindset that supports unique geometries and performance needs.
When a spring design calls for a shape or behavior that other companies cannot fabricate, we explore every practical path to reach the final part. In the past, we've even gone as far as building our own machine to make a specific part. Reach out for a no-obligation custom spring quote today!

What Is Spring Manufacturing?
Spring manufacturing is the process of forming metal wire into components that manage force, motion, or energy within a mechanical system. These parts may compress, extend, twist, or flex depending on their geometry and material. In custom spring manufacturing, the work involves understanding how the spring must behave under load, how it fits into the surrounding assembly, and how it should respond to long-term use. Each part is shaped through controlled coiling, forming, heat treatment, and finishing to create a dependable component suited for its specific environment.
Material Types
At Stalder Spring, meeting the needs of each project starts with a thoughtful approach to materials. We do not view ourselves strictly as a job shop. Our long-term relationships with customers allow us to maintain stock on repeat custom metal springs, which shortens turnaround time on future orders. Our technicians and forming equipment can work with an extensive range of materials, and the most common include:
Our facility supports wire sizes from .020" to .312" on standard equipment. Specialty sizes from .312" to .562" can also be produced.

Additional Service Offerings
Stalder Spring Works Inc. is known for solutions that extend past fabrication alone. Our team works closely with customers through every stage of the process, from concept to long-term maintenance planning.
Prototyping
Prototyping enables teams to verify fit, test performance, and refine characteristics before committing to full production. Our prototypes can be adjusted quickly, which helps shorten development cycles and identify potential improvements early.
Failure Analysis
If a spring has experienced wear, deformation, or unexpected behavior, our team examines the cause to prevent repeat issues. We assess fracture patterns, stress concentrations, environmental conditions, and loading requirements to refine the next iteration.
Design Review
Our technicians evaluate spring geometry, wire diameter, material choice, stress points, and overall feasibility. This review helps ensure the design performs properly under load and remains reliable throughout its life cycle.
Product Housing Support
Springs must function within housings, assemblies, or confined spaces. We help customers plan for this by studying surrounding components, mounting points, and motion limitations to create a spring that integrates cleanly into the full assembly.
Production Monitoring Practices
Stalder Spring Works Inc. maintains continuous oversight throughout forming and finishing to support consistent results. Technicians track coil behavior, shaping accuracy, and surface condition as parts move through each stage. This monitoring helps ensure the final components align with the intended performance targets and fit requirements.
Tooling Maintenance & Calibration
Reliable forming depends on equipment that performs predictably. Our team follows a structured calibration schedule to maintain accuracy across coiling, shaping, and cutting operations. Tooling is inspected for wear, alignment, and repeatability, which helps preserve dimensional stability across both small and large production runs.
Batch Documentation & Traceability
Each production batch is documented to support clear traceability. Records include material details, forming parameters, inspection notes, and final verification results. This documentation helps customers track part history and supports long-term consistency for repeat orders.
- Material Tracking — Recording wire type and lot information
- Forming Parameters — Capturing coiling and shaping settings
- Inspection Records — Logging dimensional and load checks
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Stalder Spring Maintain Accuracy in Spring Manufacturing?
Dimensional accuracy is supported through calibrated tooling, controlled forming parameters, and documented inspection results. These steps help ensure each part aligns with the intended fit and performance targets.
How Are Springs Protected During Shipping?
Springs are packaged to prevent deformation, abrasion, and tangling. Packaging choices are based on part geometry, quantity, and sensitivity to surface contact.
Can Stalder Spring Support Repeat Production Runs?
Yes. Traceability records and controlled forming parameters help maintain consistency across repeat orders, supporting long-term production needs.
