By allowing us to design, prototype, tool and produce your part, we know with 100% certainty that you are buying the most cost-efficient package available. Select one of the production areas below, for more details!

Our services.

Prototyping and Low Volume Production

PTM can meet your emergency production demands so you avoid costly delays on your project. Our heritage of prototype processes is in small complex parts such as brackets, fasteners, clips, and wire clamps. 

We soon graduated to much larger parts and today prototype parts ranging in size from a paper clip up to car hoods, side panels or mower deck lids. Large or small we've done it all! One-piece or several thousand, we are standing by to serve your production needs.

Production Stamping

PTM Corporation is a full service stamping facility capable of running progressive dies, fourslide and compound dies. From concept to production, our design team works closely with your engineers to develop the best part for fit and function. We find the most cost effective way to produce your part with minimal scrap and tooling cost.

We are capable of designing, building and running progressive dies any size up to 144" in length.  Tonnage range from 60 to 600 for high volume production.  Up to 2000 ton for low volume production (<5000 pieces).

Fourslide Manufacturing

PTM Corporation also offers fourslide manufacturing. Some benefits of utilizing this type of manufacturing process include:


Lower tooling cost
(up to 1/3 of traditional progressive die tooling)

  • Shorter lead time for tool build

  • Less material waste

  • Lower piece price due to less material waste

  • 18 presses ranging from #1's to #4's

Additionally, we offer compound die manufacturing. A compound die reduces design, build and tryout costs. Generally, compound dies are used for washer type parts, or parts simple enough to form in one hit or stroke of the press.
