Cheek Engineering & Stamping

Cheek Engineering & Stamping is a family owned and operated company located in southern California. The company operates out of a modern 16,000 sq. ft. facility conveniently located in the Orange County, California city of Irvine. The Company was founded in 1949 by Ray Cheek, a gifted engineer and pioneer in the world of deep draw stamping. Cheek services a variety of industries and has the capability to produce a wide range of components out of a variety of materials.

 Ray Cheek designed and built his own style of transfer press technology that is still used exclusively at Cheek Engineering and other companies today. In 1949 Ray built his first transfer pressing machine with a Plymouth 6 cylinder engine block as its foundation. This first press was built under contract of the Tubing Cap & Seal Co. of Los Angeles. A variety of these machines were built until the need for heavier, faster more productive machines. Ray then built the 100 to 150 ton presses with up to 15 transfer stations. These machines have stood the test of time and are still meeting the demand of the high production stamping environment today. After Rays passing and the retirement of his son Richard, the company was taken over in January 2010 by Chris Huff, former president and co-founder of Probe Racing Components. With Chris’ capabilities and former manufacturing experience, the company is being updated to improve its processes to insure quality products and cost effective results.  Markets: Cheek Engineering produces close tolerance deep drawn metal stampings for Aerospace, Automotive and electronics, irrigation, flow control and commercial goods industries.  Capabilities: Production capabilities include mid to high volume, cylindrical shaped parts, produced through deep draw transfer press technology.
