What Durex does

DureX Inc. is a privately held, ISO 9001:2015 certified contract metal fabrication facility founded in 1946 and headquartered in a 120,000 sq. ft. plant in Union, New Jersey. The firm operates a vertically integrated, single-roof production model that takes parts from raw material through design, prototyping, machining, stamping, welding, finishing, and electro-mechanical assembly, with 50+ presses (up to 400 tons), Swiss CNC machining, multi-axis CNC milling and turning, robotic welding, automated 5-stage degreasing/washing, and powder coating, plus coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and optical inspection capable of +/-0.0001 inch verification. The in-house tool and die shop designs, builds, and maintains progressive, deep draw, and compound dies, supported by setup supervisors with an average of 25+ years of experience.

DureX serves enterprise and mid-market B2B customers across aerospace and defense, medical device, automotive and transportation, HVAC and industrial equipment, electronics and power systems, pharmaceutical and life sciences, and industrial automation. The value proposition centers on single-vendor accountability across the part lifecycle, tolerances to +/-0.0001 inches, FAI/CMM documentation, in-house finishing, and engineering support with design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback provided during the 24-business-hour quote turnaround. Customers transition from fabrication to hard-tooled stamping at production volumes above roughly 8,000–20,000 units, where per-piece costs drop 35% or more and tooling investment is documented to be recovered in under four months.

The revenue model is project-based contract manufacturing with quote-driven pricing; no list pricing is published. Distribution is exclusively direct, with customers engaging via the website RFQ process, phone, email, or on-site facility visits, and shipping primarily within the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic corridor (Boston to Baltimore) while also serving national accounts. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, UL, ETL, and NSF listings, and has diversified through a series of acquisitions structured as a 'Family of Companies' to add capabilities and weather prior economic downturns and offshore competition.

Revenue model

Contract Metal Fabrication Services: DureX generates revenue through project-based contract manufacturing. Customers submit RFQs with part drawings or CAD files, quantities, tolerances, and target lead times. Pricing is quote-driven, based on material type, part complexity, production volume, and required tolerances. The company supports the full part lifecycle from prototype through full production volume, enabling land-and-expand dynamics as customer volumes grow. No per-piece list pricing is publicly disclosed; all pricing is handled through custom quotes.
CNC Machining and Stamping Production Runs: Revenue from CNC machining services (milling, turning, Swiss CNC, grinding), metal stamping (progressive die, deep draw), and sheet metal fabrication. Unit economics improve dramatically with volume as tooling costs are amortized and cycle times are reduced. The transition from fabrication to stamping as volumes increase (8,000–20,000 unit crossover) is a documented value driver for customers and a recurring revenue dynamic for DureX.
