Pete Marut

Sales Engineer, Metalform · CSS (Connecticut Spring & Stamping)

Pete has more than 25 years of experience in developing metal forming processes, tooling, and technology. Customers and clients rely on Pete’s engineering and estimating experience to make recommendations for design-for-manufacturability on all types of progressive die stamped parts, secondary processes, fine blanking technology, material selection, and more. This type of assistance proves invaluable when assessing your design concepts and ideas. Note that we typically request to see CAD files, drawings and specifications.

Dale Pereira, Sales Engineer, Springs, CSS (Connecticut Spring & Stamping)

Dale Pereira

Sales Engineer, Springs · CSS (Connecticut Spring & Stamping)

Dale has over 20 years of experience in spring design and manufacturing. Customers and clients rely on Dale’s engineering and estimating process experience to make recommendations for design-for-manufacturability with all types of springs and wire form applications. With Dale’s guidance, design concepts and material options can be reviewed, and in some cases simulations run to better understand the limits of a proposed design. Note that we typically request to see specs and drawings. Sample parts are always helpful too.
