Metal Stamping Components Built for Long-Term Manufacturing Success

For nearly 100 years, Styberg Engineering & Manufacturing has helped original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) produce medium to heavy-gauge metal components up to 5/8” thick that other manufacturers cannot.

Whether a customer needs 2,000 parts annually or 100,000, Styberg combines advanced metal stamping capabilities with engineering expertise to deliver components that meet quality, performance and production goals for some of the most demanding applications.

Styberg’s core strength is manufacturing parts that require heavy-gauge stamping and forming, complex weldments, precision machining, grinding, heat treating, welding and assembly. Because nearly every manufacturing operation is performed in-house, Styberg maintains greater control over quality, production schedules and lead times while minimizing reliance on outside suppliers.

Styberg routinely stamps and forms materials up to 5/8” thick for applications where strength and durability are critical. Its components are used in heavy-duty truck transmissions, off-highway equipment, fire apparatus, buses, high-performance vehicles and aerospace systems. Many of these industries depend on products with long life cycles, and Styberg continues to manufacture components that have remained in service for decades because they consistently deliver the performance customers expect.

More than 150 employees help operate the 175,000-square-foot facility in Racine, Wisconsin, where precision metal stamping equipment and production controls include:

• 15 presses from 5-ton to 1,000-ton running coil or flat sheet
• Laser cutters
• Progressive, deep draw, and compound blank dies
• Multiple machining centers including mills, lathes, VTLs, pot and pull broaches, shapers and hobbs, and cold forming of splines and Wire EDM
• 6 heat treat furnaces
• Fully equipped inspection lab with NDT capabilities and Nadcap certifications
• Robust CMM
• Gear checkers
• Kanban Inventory system
• Automated welders

The evolution of drivetrain component manufacturing at Styberg Engineering Company is closely tied to its longstanding investment in Ernst Grob AG technology. What began in the late 1980s with a single Grob machine has grown into a core capability that defines Styberg’s position as a leader in large-diameter cold-formed transmission components.

Styberg recently made its fourth Grob purchase, a new four-roller, CNC-controlled machine set to further advance production when it is installed this summer. Earlier Grob models relied on gear-driven systems and two-roller configurations. The capital investment will position Styberg customers for greater precision, faster cycle times, and the flexibility to produce a wider range of spline configurations. In fact, the newest system can produce parts approximately 2.5 times faster than Styberg’s existing machines, significantly increasing throughput while maintaining tight tolerances.

Prioritizing Manufacturability

Beyond manufacturing parts, Styberg believes the best results come from working alongside customers’ engineering teams early in the design process. By participating in prototype development, the company’s engineers recommend improvements that enhance manufacturability while maintaining the functionality and performance requirements of the finished component. Early collaboration also allows Styberg to identify opportunities to reduce production costs before a project moves into full-scale manufacturing.

As production volumes grow, manufacturing methods often need to evolve. A prototype process may require new tooling, dedicated dies or different production techniques to support long-term manufacturing. Styberg helps customers navigate that transition by developing production processes that deliver consistent quality and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) success while supporting cost objectives.

Rather than simply producing parts, Styberg serves as an engineering and manufacturing partner committed to customers’ long-term success. Our team responds quickly to production challenges, improves existing designs and identifies opportunities for continuous improvement.

In many cases, Styberg has developed proprietary tooling and manufacturing processes that produce the same quality part for decades. After nearly a century in business, the commitment to technical expertise, collaboration and customer service continues to build lasting partnerships across a wide range of industries.
