We have the Engineering Team and Resources to Partner with You
Our team understands what it takes to successfully manage projects of all sizes. We follow the principles of project management outlined by Project Management Institute (PMI) and are certified to ISO9001:2015 standards of the International Standards Organization. Our engineering team utilizes the latest SolidWorks 3D design software in combination with spring design software to create efficient product designs.
Our Fresno, CA based campus allows ready access to the resources of California State University Fresno campus for design validation and other services. When beneficial, our partnership with Exova Testing Laboratories provides Betts Spring Manufacturing with access to the world’s largest dedicated testing group.
Through our close ties with industry groups Spring Research Institute and Spring Manufacturers Institute we’re able to contribute to the technological advancements within the industry.
Here are a few examples of services our team has provided:
- We’ve worked with Global 500 companies to produce vehicle hood opening components. These components range from extension springs and torsion bars to assemblies of unique hood support/opening systems.
- We’ve designed vehicle suspension springs for OE and aftermarket partners.
- We’ve worked with large defense contractors to fulfill their need for CARC coated parts.
We will work with you to identify the most suitable materials, performance specifications, and coatings to fit your application. If needed our team can reverse engineer almost any spring through measurement analysis and physical testing.
We look forward to joining your team in development of solutions for your application requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have a unique spring design. Which spring manufacturer can handle complex projects?
We can only speak to how we handle it, not what other manufacturers can do. At Betts, complex projects start with our engineering team, who use SolidWorks 3D design software paired with spring design software and follow Project Management Institute (PMI) principles to keep multi-part projects organized.
If you have an existing part but no drawings, our team can reverse engineer almost any spring through measurement analysis and physical testing. We’ve built vehicle hood-opening components and support assemblies for Global 500 companies, designed OE and aftermarket vehicle suspension springs, and produced CARC-coated parts for large defense contractors.
We also have access to Exova Testing Laboratories for independent validation, ties to the Spring Research Institute and Spring Manufacturers Institute for additional design validation resources. If your design is unusual, that’s exactly the kind of project our engineering team is built to take on early, before tooling and materials get locked in.
Can Betts help me go from a prototype to a full production run?
Yes, and that’s how most of our custom projects work.
We offer dedicated design, prototyping, and first-article production sample testing, so your design gets validated before it moves to volume manufacturing. From there, production scales up using the same tooling and quality standards established during prototyping, instead of switching processes or requoting from scratch.
We’re structured to handle both small, cost-effective runs and large-volume production, so you’re not forced to find a second supplier once your prototype is approved.
