For over 60 years, Vico has produced specialty cold-formed products for many of the world’s largest corporations. With plants located in Michigan, Kentucky and South Carolina, we are uniquely qualified to supply your fastener requirements, from one of many cold-headers; ranging in capability from 1-die, 2-blows up to 5-die, 5-blow Nedschroefs'.

Cold-Header Machine

Working with various alloy and low-carbon steels, Vico has focused its expertise on specialty fasteners.  We are a Domestic Leader in the use of "Micro Alloy" steel, a product that has good formability and results in a part that does not require heat treatment.  A cost savings that can be passed on to our customers.  Vico is capable of forming wire sized between 6mm and 25mm in diameter, and finished lengths between 25mm and 190mm.

We design and make tooling in-house, and due to a long history with critical automotive fasteners, we welcome new and challenging products. Vico’s tooling competence is driven by a half-century legacy of precision engineering and quality craftsmanship.

 

 

Globally competitive companies like Vico, perform beyond the typical “quality standards”, and are now measured with words like “Lean”, “Agile” and “Six-Sigma”.

Lean Manufacturing takes quality to another level, adding value, performance and profitability over the volumes of documentation associated with early standards. Being truly lean requires continuous company-wide involvement and committed leadership. Vico is proud of its lean initiatives and enjoys sharing the many benefits with our customers, employees and vendors.

 

Vico’s commitment to quality and the retention of superior skill sets, are evident everywhere you look. One good example is our ability to design and build proprietary  high tech final inspection equipment,  like the machine shown here.
