Metal Stamping in Michigan
Progressive die stamping, four-slide, and deep drawing on presses from 50 to 1,250 tons. Small to mid-size metal stampings produced in Romeo, Michigan.
Committed to the Highest Quality Products
We are committed to manufacturing the highest quality products. We offer quality detailing fabrication as well as small to mid-size metal stampings at competitive pricing. As a tool and die company that also runs production, we stamp parts on tooling we designed, built, and proved out under one roof in Romeo, Michigan.
Loftis Manufacturing uses various production methods, including progressive die stamping, four-slide, and deep drawing to make sheet metal parts. We have the capability to fabricate materials including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper ranging in thickness from 0.010 to 0.246 inches. Presses from 50 to 1,250 tons cover short runs and full production volumes alike.
Our manufacturing methods are fast and dependable, producing parts that deliver great part performance. Every job runs under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with CMM inspection verifying dimensions against print. Automotive, medical, construction, HVAC, and oil and gas customers count on Loftis for stamped parts made in the USA.

Materials We Form
Different metals behave differently under the die. We stamp five metal families — steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper — in thicknesses from 0.010 to 0.246 inches, with tooling built in-house to suit each material's forming characteristics.

Material 01 / 05
Steel
The press-room workhorse. Cold-rolled, hot-rolled and HSLA steels take a deep form and hold it, which is why most structural work runs in steel and why it carries our highest-volume progressive jobs. It behaves predictably in the die and costs the least of the five.
- Common grades
- CRS · HRS · HSLA · Galvanized
- Typical parts
- Brackets, rails, chassis and structural stampings
Gauge envelope 0.010 – 0.246 in Presses 50 – 1,250 ton
Material 02 / 05
Stainless Steel
Strong and corrosion-proof, and the least forgiving of the five. Stainless work-hardens as it forms and springs back after the hit, so the compensation has to be designed into the die before it is cut — not filed in at tryout.
- Common grades
- 304 · 316 · 409 · 430
- Typical parts
- Medical components, fluid handling, exhaust and trim
Gauge envelope 0.010 – 0.246 in Presses 50 – 1,250 ton
Material 03 / 05
Aluminum
Roughly a third the weight of steel and naturally corrosion resistant, which is why lightweighting work keeps moving toward it. The softer grades draw easily; heat-treated grades want generous bend radii and sharp, clean tooling to keep bends from cracking.
- Common grades
- 1100 · 3003 · 5052 · 6061
- Typical parts
- Lightweight housings, heat sinks, HVAC panels
Gauge envelope 0.010 – 0.246 in Presses 50 – 1,250 ton
Material 04 / 05
Brass
The most cooperative metal on the list. Brass forms cold without complaint, holds fine detail through tight bends, and conducts well. That combination is why it stays the standard for electrical terminals and connector work.
- Common grades
- C260 · C268 · C360
- Typical parts
- Electrical terminals, connectors, decorative hardware
Gauge envelope 0.010 – 0.246 in Presses 50 – 1,250 ton
Material 05 / 05
Copper
Formability and conductivity at their peak. Copper draws deep, bends tight, and carries current better than anything else here, so it goes where the electrical path matters more than the strength does. It is soft and marks easily, so tool surfaces and handling both stay clean.
- Common grades
- C110 ETP · C101
- Typical parts
- Bus bars, grounding straps, electrical contacts
Gauge envelope 0.010 – 0.246 in Presses 50 – 1,250 ton
