Keeping to the forefront of quality, technology, and efficiency is a priority for Standen's.
Since our inception in the 1920's, we have always looked to the future. Standen's was the first in the North American leaf spring industry to apply CAD-CAM (Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing) to the manufacturing and design process. This leading edge has never been relinquished.
Today, Standen's leads the industry in utilizing 3D Modeling ,Finite Element Analysis (FEA) , X-Ray Diffraction, Computer Controlled Heat-Treating, and other high-tech tools and processes to ensure the best and highest quality solutions to meet our customers needs. |
Standen's stands at the forefront of Research and Development in manufacturing processes and leaf spring designs. Major vehicle, suspension, and agricultural implement manufacturers have come to Standen's for innovative and effective solutions to meet their customers' needs.
A proven OEM and military supplier, Standen's is committed to the International Standards Organization ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, and MIL-145208-A specifications for quality assurance.
Continuous improvement is the heart of Standen's culture. The Standen's Team works hard every day to improve our products and processes and to find solutions and improvements in advance of our customers' needs.|
Open to new and innovative ideas, we participate in a global technical network related to spring design and manufacture. Standen's information sources include membership in the Spring Research Institute and other associations, exchanges of technology and special agreements with other high-tech manufacturers, and on-going close communications with our customers. |

|
Beginning at the design phase, we use our combination of extensive experience, leading edge information, and modern computer technology to benefit our customers.
To assist our customers' design teams to meet their stated goals, we verify engineering drawings received against the end use to ensure that peak performance standards and cost efficiencies can be met.
Experience has proven that effective communication between Standen's and our customers significantly aids in reducing costs, improving product performance, and increasing value to our customers.
Extensive use of 3D modeling, FEA, metallurgical analysis, and testing capabilities help us ensure the very best solutions to our customers' challenges. |

Standen's is the largest full-line leaf spring manufacturer in North America, producing springs with load capabilities from 100 kg (220 lbs) to 30,000 kg (66,000lbs.). Such flexibility is made possible by a carefully developed manufacturing process technology equal (and often superior) to any in the world.
We continually re-invest in both people and equipment so that we can stay ahead of the needs of our customers. When a new generation of leaf springs or air suspension beams is required, we're ready to develop and produce them.
Standen's has developed unique and creative solutions for leaf spring and air suspensions for many major OEM manufacturers of trucks and trailers. |
Whether it is a parabolic long tapered spring, an air suspension beam, a multiple leaf truck spring, a light trailer spring, or a spring for a specialty application, all Standen's OEM, military, and replacement products are manufactured to the same high state of the art standard.
Before a production run, prototype springs and components are rigorously tested beyond the customer's specification in our extensive quality assurance labs. The large capacity of Standen's spring forming, heat treating, stress peening, bulldozing, and coating facilities allows volume quality production under tight scheduling.
Our computer controlled design and manufacturing processes enables us to precisely match our customer's requirements with the specific performance of the product, chemistry of the steel, and the tightly controlled processes in a repeatable and high quality environment. |
