Welcome to Orion — where precision meets production. About us
Since 1993, Orion has been a family-run, ISO 9001–certified precision stamping shop. Our six mechanical presses—each rated 500–1,000 tons—tackle projects from low-volume prototypes to steady production runs.
For over 30 years, we’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers, listening first, then delivering parts that meet your exact specifications and arrive when you need them. We believe in clear communication, continuous improvement, and earning your trust one stamped part at a time. Feel free to explore the services we offer below, and do not hesitate to contact us with questions.

🏭 Press Rentals & Die Tryouts — How It Works
Whether you're refining a new tool or need extra press time, our facility is your solution for high-tonnage, production-grade validation.
🔧 Step 1: Tell Us What You Need 📝
We start with your specs.
Send us your tooling drawings, material requirements, and production goals. Whether you're planning a one-time tryout, a full production simulation, or looking to rent press time independently — we’ll match you with the right press from our fleet (500–1000 tons).
We accept:
✅ Progressive or transfer dies
✅ Coil-fed or hand-fed tooling
✅ First-hit prototypes or legacy tools
✅ Engineering samples or PPAP runs
⚙️ Step 2: Get It On Our Floor 🚚
Once the tooling arrives, we stage it in one of our fully equipped presses — bed sizes up to 144" x 72", shut heights up to 54”, with coil feeds, safety monitoring, and CMM support.
You can be fully involved, or we can handle the run start to finish with our experienced die techs and operators.
Optional support includes:
🛠 Tool spotting and adjustments
📦 Sample pulls and packaging
🧪 On-site inspection assistance
📸 Photo and video documentation of runs
✅ Step 3: Approve, Run, or Rent Long-Term 📈
After testing, we’ll send you parts, data, and insights. Want to make changes? We’ll hold the press and assist with revisions.
Happy with the results? Leave the die in place and schedule a full run — or rent the press for extended development or production.
