Evolution in Manufacturing Capabilities
Winzeler Stamping Company is a manufacturer that for many years was known primarily as an expert in Deep Draw Metal Stamping processes. Our reputation within the industry and our brand were built around our being a leading manufacturer of cylindrical drawn parts. However, in the course of responding to the needs of customers, we began entering markets outside of the lawn and garden industry with our hose end products. As our customer base expanded, we realized the need for evolution in our own business and began the process of upgrading our tooling and our presses in order to support the heavier, more complex components that we needed and wanted to manufacture.
That was approximately 15 years ago. The company has continued to evolve and maintain relevancy in the industry - and to our customers - by developing additional expertise in custom engineered progressive stamping processes. This competence allows us to manufacture metal components for industries which require geometric complexity and tight tolerances. Among our success stories is our capability to provide heavy gauge stampings up to 1/4'" thick for Automotive, Class 8, and Heavy Duty/Off-Road applications. Some of the parts we currently manufacture include brackets, clamps, sleeves, and supports.
What is Heavy Gauge Metal Stamping?
Heavy Gauge Metal Stamping is term used for applying metal stamping operations to raw material with above average thickness requirements. In most cases, any stamping operation can be performed to thicker material, but a larger press with higher tonnage is required.
The parts pictured below are manufactured of High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) Steel. Because HSLA alloys are stronger, they can be us ed in thinner sections, making them particularly useful for applications where weight reduction is important. However, due to their higher strength and toughness, HSLA steels usually require 25 to 30% more power to form, as compared to carbon steels. Winzeler Stamping Company has developed an expertise in the utilization of HSLA steels and provides these components for our OEM and Tier I customers.
We believe that one of the keys to efficiently providing a long-lasting, high quality part is to first produce a quality tool. Maintaining  engineering and tool & die teams in-house is a critical component to our success. We have worked meticulously to develop the skills and proficiency required to add value for our customers as well as build confidence and credibility in our resources. It is a fundamental goal of the company that we remain committed to responding to the manufacturing needs of our customers and evolving with the demands of the industries we serve.

Winter Weather 
2014 is one for the record books!
Chances are if you live in the Midwest, Northeast, or Southeast, you have become quite familiar with the winter weather advisory icons used by your local TV stations. We have. Winzeler Stamping Company sits in the northwest corner of Ohio and we have seen our fair share of snow, ice, and frigid wind chill temperatures during the 2014 winter. Although the weather has been severe enough to cause us to close, open late - or stay late, we have managed to see our way through the storms and maintain normal levels of production. Thanks to the cooperation and flexibility of our employees we have had very minimal interruption. Economists are now in the process of determining what impact the prolonged and brutal winter weather will have on our economy. Obviously the impact is has been felt in almost every sector: energy, transportation, housing, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and more. Reduced production and slowed deliveries combined with the reduction of retail traffic and increased heating costs has certainly caused a drag on the economy; however, most economists seem to believe it will be short-term and we'll rebound to where we left off in 2013. A few facts from January and February economic reports:
- Manufacturing production declined 0.8% in January, ending 5 months of expanding activity. Year-over-year pace of manufacturing output declined from 2% in December to 1.3% in January.
- Durable and non-durable goods production decreased by 0.8%.
- The largest decline came in the motor vehicle sector which was down 5%.
- Capacity utilization decreased 0.7% in January to 76%, the lowest since July.
- Retail sales fell 0.4% in January.
- Auto sales decreased 2.1% in January.
- According to University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters consumer sentiment measure was unchanged in February.
- New housing starts were down 16% in January, and homebuilder confidence fell 10%.
Because weather is believed to be the primary factor in the negative activity, it is believed that this data does not suggest broad-based weaknesses in the economy. The Markit Flash U.S. Manufacturing PMI seemed to disregard weather concerns altogether, up from 53.7 in January to 56.7 in February. The pace of growth for new orders (up from 53.9 to 58.8) and output (up from 53.5 to 57.2) increased significantly, with sales growth at its highest level since May 2010. Such data reinforce the notion that manufacturing should rebound from recent weaknesses. Source: NAM
