In addition to wire forming, at Apex Wire Products Co., Inc., we have comprehensive wire fabrication capabilities including swaging, threading, tapping, and piercing. Steel, stainless steel, and aluminum wire can be formed, machined, and welded to customer specifications. Optional wire end types include round, pointed, or chamfered ends. Careful attention is paid to ensure all ends are burr-free and finished to customer specifications. By employing a mix of manual and automated operations, we are able to efficiently accommodate a wide range of production volumes. Experienced employees and CNC equipment ensure that all production exceeds customer quality standards for precision and consistency.
Complete finishing services including painting, plating, and powder coating are available. Finished components can be assembled, labeled, and packaged as an added benefit to customers, streamlining the supply chain. Finished goods can be shipped according to JIT schedules or kanban management programs can be tailored to customer needs. Blanket orders can be used to manage inventory while allowing customers to benefit from quantity price breaks. Every project is quoted on a job by job basis, with expedited lead times available to accommodate rush orders.

What Are Swaging and Piercing Services?
Swaging is a process that reshapes wire ends by applying pressure, giving you smooth and durable results. Piercing, on the other hand, allows us to form clean holes or openings in wire and wire-based products. Together, these services create parts that are stronger, more functional, and ready for real-world use.
Customers across industries such as food service, medical, transportation, lighting, and construction rely on these methods to produce parts like racks, baskets, fittings, and hardware. Whether you’re creating components for equipment or finishing details for a product line, these services help bring everything together with accuracy and repeatability.
Capabilities and Services
Our swaging services cover wire diameters from 0.008″ to 0.75″ in both round and flat shapes, with end finishes such as round, pointed, spherical, or chamfered. We also offer precision wire cut services for burr-free, accurate lengths, along with wire straightening to keep every part consistent before cutting, swaging, or piercing.
We work with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel-chrome, brass, and beryllium copper, and can add finishes like painting, powder coating, plating, or vinyl dipping. Beyond swaging and piercing, we provide threading, tapping, and milling, giving you a range of processes under one roof.
Production runs can be small, large, or anywhere in between. Whether you need prototypes, custom quantities, or high-volume output, we have both manual and CNC equipment to deliver. For urgent projects, rush orders, and expedited turnaround times are available.
