Braxton Manufacturing

Since 1964, Braxton has been converting costly machined components into cost efficient deep drawn components. Our deep drawn components are produced from a flat strip of material vs screw machining bar stock. There is a significant cost savings in raw material. Drawn parts are engineered to minimize material waste by being hollow throughout the process. The deep draw process allows the opportunity for parts assembly during the drawing process. Eliminating the need for subsequent assembly and equipment costs. Extremely thin wall parts can be produced, less than .001” can be achieved depending on material choice.
