BWP’s state-of-the-art facility in rural Wisconsin is a true example of premium American craftsmanship. With its distinct capabilities and engineering expertise, it designs, builds, and heat-treats all the tooling necessary for its equipment.

“We also source 90 percent of our steel domestically,” says Tim Ritchie, VP and operations manager. These measures allow BWP to overcome supply chain issues and manufacture its products indigenously.

Cold heading and thread rolling constitute BWP’s core business. Backed by its extensive experience in these, along with wire forming, it provides customers with a range of creative solutions in the design stage and also assists them with design changes.

Equipped with modern CNC-controlled wire benders, BWP is capable of producing complete off-the-machine parts that range from having a few bends to designs with extruded shapes and collars. Its state-of-the-art extruder equipment is one of the few in the U.S. that can extrude both head and thread and form a single part entirely with a single machine.

BWP’s CNC wire technology can accommodate both small and high-volume bent parts without having to make expensive investments in hard tooling. The team also offers finishes and coatings for its products, including chromate, dichromate, and black electroplating, as well as powder coating, painting, and patching. Be it stainless steel clamps for engine emissions application or wheel axle assemblies used in lawn and garden and brush cutter applications, BWP has the capability to deliver quality products for all its customers’ needs.

In some cases, clients may require multiple components that combine to form a single part. To make the ordering process easier, BWP groups multiple parts under one part number, saving customers the ordeal of having to list each component individually.
