Greater Quality Control
Direct oversight from incoming material through final inspection helps maintain quality requirements throughout production.
In-House Manufacturing: From Raw Material to Finished Part
For nearly 70 years, Rotor Clip has manufactured retaining rings, wave springs, and hose clamps. Today, we produce billions of parts annually, with everything manufactured in-house at our U.S. and European facilities.
Global Vertically Integrated Manufacturing
Our vertically integrated operations bring engineering, tooling, production, finishing, inspection, and packaging together at our headquarters in New Jersey, USA and our European manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic. This integration gives us greater control over the quality, consistency, and responsiveness. From standard catalog parts to custom-engineered solutions, every retaining ring, wave spring, and hose clamp is manufactured and engineered to meet your application requirements.
