What Progressive Die and Stamping does

Progressive Die and Stamping is a privately held custom metal stamping contract manufacturer founded in 1962 and headquartered in Anaheim, California. The company specializes in precision metal stamping using progressive dies, compound dies, and single-stage tooling for medium- to large-volume production runs. All tooling design and die manufacturing is performed in-house using CAD software and dedicated die building machinery, allowing the company to control lead times, quality, and intellectual property across the production process. The company processes a range of flat-stock metals and alloys including stainless steel, carbon steels, brass, beryllium copper, aluminum, and specialty materials.

Beyond core stamping, Progressive Die and Stamping offers engineering and CAD services, rapid prototype stamping, finishing and secondary operations (tapping, deburring, plating, anodizing, heat-treating, powder coating), and on-site assembly of sub-assemblies and complete products. This vertical integration enables the company to deliver parts ready for use from a single supplier. Quality certifications include ISO 9001 (achieved Q4 2022) and MIL-I 45208 Inspection System compliance, supporting qualification into military, aerospace, and medical OEM supply chains.

The company serves ten documented verticals: military and defense, aerospace, medical and dental, automotive, construction, computer/electronics, safe/locks security, natural gas safety, renewable energy, and bicycle. Revenue is generated through custom quote-based project pricing, with customers initiating contact via website quote requests or phone. The GTM motion is sales-led with engineering collaboration during the design phase. The company is led by Duane Perron as President and owner, operates from a single Anaheim facility, and serves the continental United States market.

Core offering

Progressive Die and Stamping is a custom contract manufacturer that produces medium-to-large-volume precision and commercial metal parts using progressive, compound, blank, and stage tooling. It manages projects from design and in-house die production through prototyping, stamping, secondary finishing, and assembly.

Product overview

Progressive Die and Stamping is a custom metal stamping company offering a comprehensive suite of precision manufacturing services. The core offerings center on two primary stamping methods: progressive die stamping for high-volume complex parts and compound die stamping for flat parts requiring multiple operations in a single stroke. These are supported by in-house custom die tooling design and manufacturing, engineering/CAD services for part design optimization, and rapid prototype stamping for iterative development. The company also provides extensive finishing and secondary operations including deburring, tapping, machining, grinding, plating, anodizing, and powder coating, plus on-site assembly services. All capabilities are designed to take parts from strip of steel through to completed, ready-to-use components. The company works with a wide range of materials including stainless steel, carbon steels, brass, beryllium copper, aluminum, and exotic alloys, serving industries such as aerospace, medical, military, automotive, construction, and commercial sectors.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Progressive Die Stamping High-volume metal stamping using progressive dies in which multiple operations are performed in sequence as metal strip moves through die stations. It is designed for efficient, cost-effective production of complex precision parts with fast run speeds and reduced scrap.
• Compound Die Stamping Metal stamping process that performs multiple cutting operations in a single press stroke. It produces flat parts with precision and consistency for simpler geometries requiring high-volume production.
• Custom Die Tooling In-house design and manufacturing of custom dies and stamping tools for progressive and single-stage tooling used in precision metal stamping projects.
• Engineering/CAD Services Engineering and design support for developing metal stamping tooling. The team uses CAD software with multiple translators to import most CAD file formats for digital tooling development and design optimization.
• Prototype Stamping Rapid production of prototype tooling and stampings so customers can test part fit, form, and function and make tooling changes as designs evolve.
• Finishing/Secondary Operations Secondary production services including deburring, tapping, machining, grinding, countersinking, plating, anodizing, painting, passivation, and powder coating to prepare stamped parts for use.
• Assembly Services On-site assembly of precision metal stamped parts with customer-supplied or purchased parts, with sub-assemblies or complete products shipped directly to customers.
• Metal Stamping Materials Stamping of flat-stock metals and alloys including stainless steel, high-carbon steel, low-carbon steel, brass, beryllium copper, aluminum, and exotic materials, with specialty materials available on request.
