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 is used to manufacture externally threaded fasteners (bolts and screws) from single- to six-station in complexity. Capabilities include SEMS fasteners, thread forming designs, licensed drives and complex geometries.

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). This location supports regionalized fastener supply chains and global customer demand.

Optimas manufactures 400+ million fasteners in 139,000 square feet of production space in Wood Dale, IL (Chicago). This includes 112 dedicated manufacturing machines, supporting high-volume programs and low lead-time situations.

Manufacturing capabilities include externally threaded fasteners (bolts and screws) from 2mm to 22mm in diameter and 5mm to 220mm in length. 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, from trusted, local partners. 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.
