Precision Wire Shapes Inc.

WHAT WE DO

We provide unique, custom profiles produced to your specifications. Because our cold drawing and cold rolling processes are continuous, shapes can be formed with minimal handling. With the elimination of machining using progressive, precise specialized tooling and equipment, the continuous forming process is able to produce accurate, uniform, smooth parts at a lower cost to you.

Diversified Machine Shops, Screw Machine, Esscomatic, CNC Milling/Turning facilities are customers that benefit by our processes. We can reduce your in-process time by an average of 20%.
