Precision metal spinning and hydroforming since 1933.

Helander Metal Spinning Company spins, hydroforms, and machines complex metal components for applications that cannot fail. We are a full-service precision metal forming partner, taking parts from raw material to finished, inspected components.

What we do

• Metal spinning: axially symmetric components up to 180" swing capacity, in materials from aluminum to titanium and Inconel
• Hydroforming: sheet hydroforming at pressures up to 10,000 PSI for complex, seamless geometries

• Tooling and fixturing: custom tooling with fast turnaround for prototyping and production
• Value-added services: metal finishing, rolled tubing, piping and cylinders, and NADCAP-certified welding

Who we serve

Aerospace and defense, food equipment, pump and valve components, filtration and separation, energy, and airflow measurement.

How we work

We are a lean, cross-trained team with direct access to decision-makers and a tight connection to the production floor. That lets us respond quickly to accelerating timelines and take on R&D and complex forming challenges.
