♨️ Frontier Metal Stamping

After four decades, Frontier Metal Stamping continues to commit to its mission: to improve products to satisfy customer needs and deliver them on time, free of defects, every time.

Over the years, Frontier has built a loyal customer base and a reputation for forming and delivering quality parts. Most of their business is from regional manufacturers north of Denver, although many customers ship parts to factories in other states and Mexico.

The O’Donnells estimate that about 40% of their business is out of state. In recent years, the company has expanded its market reach, focusing on various vertical markets such as electronics and Defense contracts..

Upshot: “One of the things we bring to the table is manufacturability review and manufacturing design. When we sit down and roll up our sleeves, our sales success rate is very high.”
