About Crenshaw Die & Manufacturing

Our Heritage & Mission

Since 1962, Crenshaw Die & Manufacturing has been dedicated to turning complex designs into reality for clients across aerospace, medical, industrial, and transportation markets. Over six decades later, we remain committed to quality, innovation, and responsiveness as a trusted partner in precision metalwork.

Our Team & Culture

  • Many of our employees have been with us for 20, 30, or 40+ years, reflecting deep institutional knowledge, continuity, and craftsmanship.
  • We pride ourselves on being flexible, responsive, and collaborative, working closely with clients to optimize manufacturability and lower cost.
  • Our technologists and engineers assist clients from concept to production — offering feedback in design, tooling, and process to ensure parts are optimal for manufacturing

Crenshaw is a one-stop precision metal solutions provider. We combine multiple advanced capabilities so you get seamless, end-to-end service under one roof:

  • Precision Metal Stamping & Die Making – In-house tooling, progressive dies, coining, forming
  • Deep Draw & Forming – Cushioned punch presses capable of up to 4″ draw depth
  • CNC Press Brakes / Forming – Advanced bending, hemming, over-bending, and programmable back gauges
  • CNC Machining (Milling & Turning) – Tight tolerance parts, complex geometries, rapid iteration
  • Sheet Metal Fabrication & Turret Punching – Full punching, bending, cutting capabilities
  • Water Jet Cutting & Profile Cutting – 72″ × 144″ waterjet bed for precise profile cutting
  • Secondary Operations & Assembly – Welding, drilling, tapping, hardware insertion, sub-assemblies

By integrating all these services, we reduce handoffs, streamline logistics, and ensure consistency from blank to finished part.

Here are some of our standout technical capabilities:

  • Presses rated up to 400 tons
  • Deep draw operations up to 4 inches
  • Large-format water jet cutting (72″ × 144″)
  • CNC machining envelope (milling) 40″ × 20″
  • Integration of stamping, forming, machining, and assembly in one job shop
  1. Quality & Certifications – We adhere to rigorous quality systems, including ISO standards, to ensure traceability, consistency, and compliance.
  2. Engineering Partnership – From early design review to final delivery, we collaborate with you to optimize part geometry, tolerances, and process flow.
  3. In-House Tooling & Flexibility – Designing and maintaining our own dies and tooling gives us control over cost, lead time, and precision.
  4. Responsiveness & Client Focus – We aim for fast quotes, clear communication, and nimble adaptation to changes in design or schedule.
  5. Innovation & Problem Solving – We don’t just make parts, we solve manufacturing challenges. We’ve developed hybrid processes (e.g. stamping + precision turning) to replace chemical methods, and engineered ultra-thin, high-precision components for demanding applications.

We serve a diverse portfolio of clients, from startups to large OEMs. Some of our target industries:

  • Aerospace & Defense
  • Medical Devices
  • Industrial Equipment & Energy
  • Transportation & Mobility

Our experience ranges from early-stage prototyping to high-volume production programs.
