Deltran

What Deltran does

Deltran Corporation is a privately held precision metal stamping manufacturer founded in 1961 and headquartered in Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts, where it operates a 25,000 sq.ft facility equipped with more than 40 power presses ranging from 5 to 45 tons of capacity. The company specializes in custom precision metal stampings — including tapped terminals, quick-connect terminals, switch components, solid and composite contacts, and precious metal contacts using inlay, overlay, and engineered material bonding — primarily for the electrical and electronics industry. Its core technical differentiator is a proprietary tapping system that produces threaded features in a single stamping operation, eliminating secondary tapping and enabling pricing on tapped parts that approximates unstamped alternatives. In-house capabilities extend to progressive tooling design and build using AutoCAD, in-die staking of precious metal contacts, and material processing down to .003" thickness across stainless steel, nickel, brass, bronze, and specialty alloys.

The revenue model rests on one-time sales of custom stampings plus a one-time engineering service charge for progressive tool design, with lifetime tool maintenance included at no additional cost after the initial charge — a structure that binds customers through long-duration tool assets. Sales channels are direct (website quote requests and phone sales at (508) 699-7506), with worldwide shipping including documented export experience to Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada, and China. Served verticals span electrical/electronics (primary), consumer appliances, automotive, industrial controls, and terminal block industries, with minimum orders of $350 and economically advisable minimum lots of 25,000 pieces for tapping operations. Value-added services — heat treating, plating, screw insertion, and insert molding — are delivered through long-term partnerships, most notably a strategic alliance with sister company Jaco Products for insert molded stampings. Deltran has been owned and operated by the same family across multiple generations; since February 2007 it has operated as a subsidiary of Wedge Products, Inc., maintaining its operational identity within a family of complementary precision manufacturing and industrial product companies (Wedge Products, Jaco Products, Brushes Corp, Malin Company).
