Built for High-Volume, Long-Term Programs
Talan Products specializes in repeat-production programs where progressive die tooling, automation and efficient material utilization can deliver the greatest value. Our typical metal stamping programs require 50,000 or more parts annually, with many running substantially higher volumes.
Developing a new production program? Involve us early. Our engineering team works with customers on DFM, prototyping and production planning before designs and tooling are finalized.

Custom Progressive Die Stampings
High-volume components manufactured to customer drawings in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and specialty alloys.
Fabricated Aluminum Components
Extrusions cut, pierced, drilled, tapped, assembled and otherwise fabricated to print.
We Do the Next Step
Many suppliers stop at stamping or extrusion. We don’t. Talan Products is built around doing the next step — the fabrication and assembly work that turns parts into ready-to-use components.
Tapped, formed, and welded stampings
Sub-assemblies, kits, and finished components ready for installation
For our customers, this means fewer suppliers, fewer handoffs, and fewer problems.
Design for Manufacturability
The Best Time to Reduce Manufacturing Cost Is Before Production Begins
Many of the decisions that determine a component’s cost, quality and long-term manufacturability are made before the first production part is ever manufactured.
That’s why Talan Products encourages customers to involve us early. Our team reviews new and existing component designs for opportunities to improve material utilization, simplify manufacturing, eliminate unnecessary operations, consolidate components and identify more efficient production methods.
Sometimes the best solution is exactly what’s shown on the drawing. Other times, a second set of experienced manufacturing eyes can uncover an opportunity worth exploring.
From Prototype to Production
For new high-volume programs, Talan can support prototyping and production development before committing to production tooling. The objective is to validate the design and manufacturing approach, then build a repeatable process capable of supporting long-term production.
Reduce Part Cost
Identify opportunities in material, tooling and manufacturing methods.
Consolidate Components
Explore whether multiple parts or operations can be combined.
Design for Production
Consider tooling, forming, tolerances and secondary operations before production begins.
Plan for Automation
Identify repetitive operations that can be integrated or automated at production volumes.
Proof / Built to Last
Four Proof Points
Built to Last
Talan Products has been manufacturing in Cleveland, Ohio since 1986. Over four decades, we’ve continued to grow while investing in our people, equipment, automation and manufacturing capabilities to support the evolving needs of our customers.
That growth has been built by earning long-term production business—and then performing well enough to keep it.
Manufacturing Solutions in Action
Sometimes the biggest manufacturing savings don’t come from negotiating a lower piece price. They come from finding a better way to manufacture the part.
Here are a few examples of how Talan has worked with customers to reduce cost, simplify manufacturing and improve production.

From Extrusion to Stamping
When the Best Extrusion Isn't an ExtrusionA component originally designed as an aluminum extrusion presented an opportunity for a different manufacturing approach. Talan helped convert the component to a high-volume stamping process designed to reduce manufacturing cost at production volumes.
