MANUFACTURING SERVICES FAQS

Optimas provides world-class fastener manufacturing services, specializing in cold forming for engineered and standard fasteners. Services include in-house engineering, tool and die development, 3D printing, testing and validation, and secondary operations, allowing Optimas to act as a single-source manufacturing partner.

Cold forming is a manufacturing process that shapes metal at room temperature using high-pressure dies. It produces high-strength fasteners with excellent dimensional accuracy, minimal material waste, faster production throughput, and reduced need for secondary machining.

Cold forming can be used to manufacture engineered and male-threaded fasteners ranging from single-die to 6-station forming. Capabilities include hex bolts, SEMS fasteners, thread-forming designs, and complex geometries requiring high repeatability and strength.

Single-die to 6-station cold forming allows manufacturers to balance complexity, volume, and cost. Multi-station forming enables more complex geometries and tighter tolerances while maintaining high production efficiency and near-zero material waste.

Optimas manufacturing facilities are certified to IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 standards. These certifications reflect rigorous quality management systems, environmental responsibility, and consistent production processes required for global industrial and automotive applications.

Optimas operates advanced manufacturing facilities in Wood Dale, Illinois (Chicago area) and Droitwich Spa, United Kingdom (Birmingham area). These locations support regionalized fastener supply chains and global customer demand.

Optimas manufactures billions of fasteners annually across more than 200,000 square feet of production space. Facilities include nearly 190 dedicated manufacturing machines, supporting high-volume, high-repeatability production for global brands.

Manufacturing capabilities include fasteners from 2mm pins up to 22mm diameter male-threaded fasteners, with lengths from 5mm to 220mm. Optimas supports over 40 thread styles, 7 SEMS styles, 25+ head and drive combinations, and both standard and metric sizes.

Optimas supports more than 23 raw material types, enabling fastener production across a wide range of strength, durability, and application requirements. Material selection is aligned with performance, industry standards, and environmental considerations.

Manufactured fasteners can undergo extensive secondary and finishing processes, including bar turning, machining, coating, and specialized finishing. These processes support functional requirements, corrosion resistance, and final assembly needs.

In-house engineering enables faster design validation, tooling optimization, and process control. Combined with testing labs and 3D printing, this approach reduces risk, shortens development timelines, and ensures fasteners meet performance and quality expectations before full-scale production.
