New England Spring

What New England Spring does

New England Spring is a privately held precision spring and metal component manufacturer headquartered in Bristol, Connecticut, formed in 2023 through the merger of Colonial Spring (founded 1946) and Hardware Products (founded 1866). The company operates a single integrated facility and produces custom compression, extension, torsion, and garter springs alongside complex wire forms, stamped components, and finished assemblies. Core manufacturing capabilities include CNC coiling for wire diameters from 0.15mm to 7.3mm, fourslide multi-plane forming, high-precision metal stamping, and comprehensive secondary operations (heat treating, plating, grinding, deburring, threading, testing, and custom packaging), supported by in-house tooling design and fabrication.

The company sells exclusively through a direct sales motion — phone (860) 589-3231 and website quote forms — with a 48-hour quote response commitment, supporting order quantities from a single prototype to over one million parts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through custom manufacturing services bundled with design and engineering consultation from concept through production optimization. The customer base is segmented across six verticals: aerospace, medical, and military are flagged as primary, with transportation, electrical, and industrial as secondary segments. Aerospace, medical, and defense work is enabled by AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, ITAR, LCS/F-17, and OASIS certifications, qualifying the firm for flight-critical and ITAR-controlled supply chains.

Production capacity stands at approximately 23 million parts annually. The company claims worldwide delivery capability and is a member of NESMA (New England Spring & Metalstamping Association), branded as 'Global Spring Leaders.' Headcount is in the 11-50 range with six named key personnel: a President (Jamie Vale Da Serra), Quality Manager, Operations Manager, Purchasing Manager, Order Entry, and Customer Service lead. No external institutional investors, public listing, or funding rounds are identified in available sources, and ownership structure post-merger is not explicitly disclosed. Revenue is not publicly reported.
