Park Manufacturing Corporation

What Park Manufacturing Corporation does

Park Manufacturing Corporation is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, privately held contract manufacturer of custom formed metal parts, light stampings, and wire forms, operating out of a single facility at 1819 N. 30th Ave in Melrose Park, Illinois. The company runs four discrete production departments — Fourslide (16 machines across models #00, #1, #2F, and #28), Kick Press (manual forming for prototyping and short runs), CNC Wireforming (Wafios), and Bihler GRM-80E slide forming — supported by a fully equipped in-house toolroom for 100% internally designed and maintained tooling. Material inputs span various steel alloys, stainless steels, brass, copper, and galvanized metals, with stated capacity to economically produce parts from 100 to 50,000,000 units.

The technical differentiators cited by the company are lower tooling cost and reduced scrap versus complex progressive dies (via fourslide), rapid changeover on Wafios CNC wire forming, and the Bihler GRM-80E's ability to handle linear or radial progressive forming and inline assembly that other equipment cannot. Design and engineering is performed in Autodesk Inventor with Autodesk Vault for data management, enabling design-for-manufacture input and fast iteration with customers. Secondary finishing operations (heat treating, plating, polishing, painting) are routed through established local partners rather than performed in-house.

Revenue is generated quote-by-quote from direct sales driven through the company website; pricing is opaque and varies with part complexity, tooling requirements, material selection, and volume, with minimum order quantities starting at 100 units. The customer base is organized around five industrial verticals (electronics, lighting, consumer products, industrial products, and medical), but no named customers, logos, or segment revenue splits are publicly disclosed. The company does not disclose revenue, ownership structure beyond being privately held, or a management team; it has no subsidiaries, no funding history, and operates exclusively in the US market.

Products and services

• Custom Formed Metal Parts Precision custom formed metal parts manufactured to customer specifications using fourslide, multislide, kick press, CNC wire forming, and Bihler technologies. Produced from metal strip and wire in quantities from hundreds to millions. Targeted at OEMs and contract manufacturers in electronics, lighting, consumer products, industrial, and medical sectors.
• Fourslide Manufacturing Contract fourslide and multislide forming service using 16 machines. Capable of flat stock thickness 0.005"-0.063", flat stock width up to 1.5", wire diameter 0.026"-0.125", and lengths up to 6". Suitable for production runs over 10,000 parts, with lower tooling cost and reduced scrap per part compared to complex progressive dies. Targeted at OEMs needing higher-volume formed metal parts.
• Kick Press Forming Manually actuated kick press forming for prototyping, short pre-production runs, and production runs under 10,000 parts. Capable of flat stock width up to 3" and lengths up to 10", with quick setup and economical tooling. Targeted at OEMs needing prototypes and low-volume runs before scaling to fourslide or Bihler production.
• CNC Wire Forming CNC wire forming using Wafios machines for complex wireforms, with minimal initial tooling expense. Wire diameter 0.026"-0.187" and lengths up to 24". Integrated with conveyor systems, laser inspection sensors, and remote monitoring equipment for inline quality control. Targeted at OEMs needing complex wireforms across prototyping through high-volume production.
• Bihler GRM-80E Manufacturing Bihler GRM-80E slide forming for parts that are difficult or impossible on fourslide or kick press equipment. Supports linear progressive forming, radial progressive forming, and inline forming and assembly. Flat stock thickness 0.005"-0.070". Computer-controlled interface integrates with sensors, solenoids, servos, feeders, and automation components. Targeted at OEMs needing complex precision parts and assemblies that exceed standard fourslide capability.
• Design and Engineering Services In-house design assistance using Autodesk Inventor for 3D CAD design combined with Autodesk Vault for data management. Services include design for manufacture, value optimization, and 100% in-house tooling design, build, and maintenance, enabling fast custom design and quick response to part revisions or tooling changes. Targeted at OEMs needing engineering support from concept through production tooling.
