Gifford Spring serves aerospace, telecommunication, and industrial customers with a broad lineup of precision springs and wire forms. Its products include compression springs, tapered springs, torsion and double torsion springs, extension springs, wire forms, and rod forming services.โ
According to Orlando Precision President Frank Mauro, the acquisition broadens the companyโs geographic footprint and helps it better serve markets across Texas, the southern U.S., and central Mexico. He also notes that Gifford Spring adds valuable technical capabilities that support innovation, service delivery, and longโterm strategic goals.
Entrepreneur Ralph Gifford founded Gifford Spring in 1984 in his garage with one machine and a small group of customers. The business soon grew, in part because Gifford designed and built secondary โstepโsavingโ machines using pneumatic and electronic technologies to streamline operations.โ
During this early growth phase, he also introduced electronic gauging and sorting on automatic spring coiling machines to the Dallas manufacturing community, helping raise quality and efficiency standards for local spring production.
