Transforming a Cold‑Formed and Welded Component into a One‑Piece Machined Solution

At cost parity with our previous South Asian supplier, we optimized the procurement of a component that was originally produced through cold forming and welding with a parallel key.
By partnering with CTS, we transitioned to a single‑piece machined solution, manufactured entirely through metal removal.
The results were immediately evident:

• Increased product quality and significantly improved repeatability
• Optimized MOQ and Lead Time, boosting our supply chain flexibility
• Higher process reliability, eliminating quality variations inherent in the previous forming + welding process

The new CTS‑manufactured version delivers superior performance with the same cost structure — a clear win in terms of engineering, procurement, and lifecycle value.
