Why Choose K-D Lamp for Precision Stamping and Custom Solutions?

When it comes to vehicle lighting components, OEMs need more than just off-the-shelf solutions—they need a partner that understands the intricacies of custom manufacturing. K-D Lamp’s Geneva, Ohio stamping facility, provide custom stamping solutions tailored to the exact needs of our OEM customers. Retaining rings, nests, housings and bezels, our engineered-to-spec solutions help manufacturers streamline production, ensure durability, and meet compliance standards.

Custom Stamping: Engineered for OEM Success

OEMs face unique challenges when designing forward lighting systems for trucks, emergency vehicles, municipal buses, and industrial equipment. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. That’s why K-D Lamp specializes in custom stamping solutions that integrate seamlessly into OEM designs.

Why Custom Stamping Matters for OEMs

  • Precision Fit for Seamless Integration – Every vehicle lighting system has unique design constraints. Our custom-stamped retaining rings, nests, and housings ensure a perfect fit, eliminating assembly issues and enhancing overall performance.
  • Optimized for LED and Halogen Lighting Applications – Whether an OEM requires sealed beams, halogen, or LED compatibility, our stamped components are engineered to handle varied lighting technologies while maintaining SAE compliance.
  • Stronger, Longer-Lasting Materials – K-D Lamp uses high-quality U.S. steel for stamped retaining rings and nests, ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Unlike outsourced components, our stamped parts withstand harsh environments and extended vehicle lifecycles.
  • Customizable for Efficiency & Performance – Our roll-formed retaining rings can be adjusted and modified to work with different lighting configurations, giving OEMs the flexibility to optimize designs for performance, cost, and manufacturability.
  • Coating & Finishing Options for Enhanced Durability – Our stamped parts can be e-coated or electroplated, providing extra protection against corrosion and wear—a crucial feature for vehicles operating in extreme weather and demanding conditions.  Bezels can be chrome plated.
  • Fast, Reliable Production – With over 25 stamping machines, including progressive and single-hit presses, K-D Lamp can produce high volumes of stamped components quickly and efficiently, helping OEMs meet production deadlines without compromise.
