Wedge Products, Inc

What Wedge Products, Inc does

Wedge Products, Inc. is a privately held precision metal stamping manufacturer founded in 1933 and headquartered at a 110,000-square-foot facility in Twinsburg, Ohio. The company produces high-volume stamped metal and plastic components using progressive die, deep draw, and single-hit processes, with 64 presses ranging from 3 to 400 tons of capacity and production runs from 5,000 to over 1,000,000 units. It holds AS9100 Rev. D aerospace certification, ISO 9001:2015, and Mil-I-45208A military inspection certification, enabling it to serve regulated aerospace, defense, and automotive programs alongside industrial OEM work. Named customers include Boeing (787, 777, Apache, C-130), Sikorsky (Black Hawk), John Deere, Dexter Axle, Briggs & Stratton, MTD, E-Z GO Textron, and Cequent Trailer Products.

The business model is project-based contract manufacturing: customers submit prints and RFQs via the company website or direct sales line and receive custom quotes; revenue is recognized on production runs rather than recurring licenses, with Net 30 terms and multi-year program contracts. Wedge operates a direct B2B sales motion targeting OEM manufacturers across aerospace, automotive, agricultural, HVAC, industrial, and electronics verticals, and positions itself as a domestic reshoring alternative to offshore suppliers. Value-added services — including welding, tapping, plating, anodizing, heat treating, and assembly — are performed in-house, allowing delivery of production-ready rather than raw-stamped components.

The company extends its footprint through two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Deltran, specializing in precious-metal electrical contacts and quick-connect terminals with a proprietary tapped-hole stamping method, and BK Tool & Manufacturing in Massachusetts, focused on four-slide and multi-side precision parts with in-house progressive tooling fabrication. It also operates under the legacy trade name Champion Rivet Company. No revenue, headcount, or ownership data are disclosed, and there are no funding rounds, leadership changes, or restructuring events in the provided record.
