GERMANTOWN, WI – August 20, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing, a metal fabrication and machining company based in Germantown, Wisconsin, is highlighting its in-house thread rolling services as part of a broader set of forming and machining capabilities offered to industrial customers. The move reflects an ongoing commitment to keeping threading production in-house at a time when fewer metalworking suppliers continue to offer the process.

Thread rolling is a cold-forming process that has grown increasingly rare among suppliers, many of which have shifted toward outsourcing secondary operations. Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing takes the opposite approach, performing nearly every metalworking capability internally to shorten lead times and give customers a single source for rod and wire components that require threading, knurling, or forming.

Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing’s thread rolling operations are integrated into its CNC wireforming cells, where automated equipment performs threading and knurling alongside other forming processes in a continuous production flow. For components requiring larger diameters, the work moves to robotic thread rollers and CNC machining centers that complete the job without sacrificing precision.

Thread rolling offers several advantages over cutting or grinding threads, including higher production rates and lower material costs. Because the process displaces material rather than removing it, it generates zero in-process scrap and produces threads with greater part strength and fatigue resistance than parts made using subtractive methods.

The thread rolling and knurling equipment supports a wide range of metals, including cold rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, hot rolled steel, brass, chrome alloys, bronze, copper, and other malleable metals. That material range allows the business to serve customers across the automotive, industrial equipment, and consumer product sectors, each of which carries different performance and tolerance requirements.

“Thread rolling sounds like a simple process, but very few shops still keep it in-house, and that gap creates real headaches for buyers who need threaded rod or wire components on a reliable schedule,” said Mike Cegielski, General Manager at Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing. “Because we keep thread rolling, knurling, and machining under one roof, we can move parts through production faster and give customers more direct control over quality and lead time.”

Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, and its quality assurance and inspection procedures apply across its forming, stamping, and machining operations, including thread rolling. The Germantown facility also offers press brake bending and forming, wire forming, metal stamping, laser cutting, welding, Swiss machining, and CNC milling and turning services.

Beyond its core fabrication and machining services, the company operates alongside DJS Manufacturing, a subsidiary, and WorldSource Fasteners, a partner company that supplies standard and custom fasteners from established manufacturers. Those relationships allow Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing to support customers who need both custom-threaded components and finished fastener solutions from related sources.

The company recently published a technical guide outlining its thread rolling and knurling capabilities, including supported thread-count configurations across different metals. The resource is intended to help engineers and procurement teams evaluate whether thread rolling is a suitable alternative to cut or ground threads for their specific applications.

“A lot of the engineers we talk with are surprised by how much of the threading and forming process can be handled without ever leaving our facility,” said Mike Cegielski, General Manager at Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing. “Once they see the automation we have running in our wireforming cells, they start looking at thread rolling as a standard option instead of a specialty request.”

Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing has provided metal fabrication services to industrial customers for decades, expanding over time into stamping, forming, machining, and assembly operations. Headquartered in Germantown, Wisconsin, the company serves customers across a range of industries that require fabricated metal components and assemblies of varying complexity.
