Customer Satisfaction Through Continual Improvement
 What
started as John Volkert Tool & Die in Brooklyn in 1935 has gone
through many evolutions over the years -- the most recent began in
June 1987 when the company was divested by its then German parent and
the corporate strategy became one of "close tolerance, full service,
precision metalworking".
What started as Volkert -- a tool
and die shop -- has evolved into a diverse group of metalforming
capabilities, driven by "Customer Satisfaction Through Continual
Improvement" as a Quality Policy.
Our capabilities include:
High Volume Progressive
Die, Deep Drawn, Multi-slide Stampings:
High volume production of generally small components of light gauge
materials; using virtually any raw material that can be stamped on
progressive die, transfer press (eyelet), and four slide/multislide
machines. These diverse capabilities allow selection of the most
efficient manufacturing technology for the application and the most
material efficient production technique. Having all these capabilities
under one roof significantly differentiates us from most of our
competitors.
In-House Tooling & Finishing:
Volkert has an extensive toolroom for in-house manufacture of all
tooling and an experienced tool and die design staff. Toolroom
capabilities include state of the art wire EDM and high speed small
hole EDM. A substantial tumbling and degreasing capability rounds out
a very complete facility.
Variety of Markets Served:
Volkert serves many markets and counts most major electronics
companies among its customers. Other markets include Cathode Ray and
other Tube manufacturers; Telecommunications; Connectors; Surge
Protection; Bearings; Potentiometer; Automotive; Semiconductor; Relay;
Computer; Photographic Suppliers and medical industries.
Fabricated Products and Assemblies:
Unique expertise in the production and assembly of physically larger
parts in generally smaller volumes complete our full service
metalworking capabilities. Our niche is in large drawn parts, medium
volume precision sheet metal fabrication and sophisticated mechanical
assembly. Markets for our assemblies, and fabrications include the
food service industry; instrumentation; security device; photo supply
and medical supply fields. The fabricating group utilizes its own
battery of presses, special purpose trimming machines, welding,
riveting and assembly equipment which are generally speaking specific
to our customers needs.
In conjunction with its sister companies,
Romac Electronics Inc.
and Y & Z Precision Inc., machined components in difficult materials
to electronics industry and military standards with full
certifications and SPC documentation are readily available.
We pride ourselves on fast setups and are happy to quote your short
run requirements as well as high volume production. Sketches of parts
that are within our capability are attached.
Volkert has deep roots in precision metalworking. It's proud of its
existing domestic and international customer relationships and hopes
to continue to grow that base by doing more and different kinds of
work for its traditional customers while expanding its customer base
to include new custom metalworking opportunities with new customers in
new markets. |
