Has there been a disruption in your supply chain?

Is your current supplier letting you down?

Has your current supplier closed their door’s for good? Is your current supplier falling down in their ability to deliver your Metal Stampings or Deep Drawn components on time, at a fair price, or within your quality specifications? If you answered Yes to any of these questions please consider giving us a call.

Here are some reasons why you should consider to diversify your supply chain today.
- Supplier failure still remains to be a major concern in 2011
- Many of the cost advantages that once existed in purchasing Metal Stampings offshore have disappeared over the last couple years.
- Are your suppliers using the most current and cost effective means to manufacture your parts?
- Prices for Metal Stampings change daily due to supplier capacity, restraints, and material prices. When was the last time your supplier gave you an update?

115 Years in Business!!!

The Crosby Company was founded in 1896 by William H. Crosby. The firm began with the manufacture of bicycle parts and frames, later producing various military components for the government during two world wars, and while enduring many ups and downs and spanning 5 generations, The Crosby Company is now one of the ‘go to’ suppliers of Custom Metal Stampings, Deep Draw Stampings, and Heavy Gauge Stampings.

From all of us at the Crosby Company we would like to graciously thank all of our wonderful suppliers and customers whom we have had the pleasure to partner with over these many years. We would not be here today if it were not for each and every one of you.

Metal Stamping vs Metal Casting

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:09:30 +0000

If you currently utilize metal castings, now may be the time to consider converting your product into a Metal Stamping. Often times, if your order requirements are in the hundreds or thousands of pieces, Metal Stamping will be a much more cost effective solution.

Some of the advantages of converting to Metal Stamping:

Stamping Dies are less costly and will often last for the lifetime of the part, versus Casting dies which are more expensive and may occasionally need to be replaced.
Per pound, material cost for Metal Stampings can be much lower, while also utilizing a stronger material.
The Stamping process is much quicker than the Casting process, thus greatly improving throughput with the end result being a faster on-time delivery.

Please contact one of our representatives today to learn more about how we can help you convert your Casting into a Metal Stamping.
