Background
Norwood was founded over 80 years ago as a tool and die operation. Over the years, Norwood has grown into one of the Midwest's major CNC machining and stamping centers.

When a surgeon picks up an instrument from the tray, it must work perfectly.

When it's life and death, there are no second chances. These are the types of products we manufacture: intricate, demanding, impeccably functional.

Everyone told us "...this part can't be machined out of Teflon®." They were wrong.

CNC Milling and Turning — Full complement of horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers and Swiss turning centers. We have 49 lathes (32 Swiss, 17 other), 92 horizontal machining centers, and 26 vertical machining centers. Our Swiss turning centers have up to eight axes of control which yield the ability to make very complex parts complete on the primary machine. Most tooling is made in-house, meaning faster deliveries, especially in the case of first orders or prototypes.

Our press operation will shake up your concept of productivity.

Metal Stamping — Our computer-controlled precision metal stamping systems are far above those found anywhere else in the industry. Our modern facility utilizes the most precise medium to high volume stamping systems with Minster precision presses ranging from 32 to 400 tons. Our presses are equipped with stock straighteners and coil feeds for high volume production runs.

Our turnaround time on jobs is typically days instead of weeks.

Tool & Die — Our state of the art tool and die center is just across the street from our machining and stamping operations. Creating our own dies, prototype parts, tooling, fixtures, and gauges, we minimize downtime, maximize productivity and assure the volume dependability for which we are known.

Nitinol Processing - Norwood has perfected the process of working with Nitinol memory alloy to create biocompatible and implantable finished parts.

New Capabilities - With the addition of vacuum heat treating, passivation, and a 1,500 sq. ft. Class 10,000 clean room, we are prepared to take our customers products all the way through packaging, if desired.

A customer walked in the door one morning with an idea. He left later that day with a prototype. Quite a challenge, but we did it.

We're ready, willing and able to grow with you.
