DEDRICK TOOL & DIE INC

DEDRICK TOOL & DIE INC specializes in the precision manufacturing of mission-critical metal components for defense applications, with deep expertise in fabricated wire products, hardware, and mechanical power transmission elements. The company produces high-tolerance straight pins, extension shafts, and headed rods using advanced forging, machining, and finishing processes, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material integrity required for military-grade systems. Their technical proficiency spans cold heading, thread rolling, heat treatment, and surface hardening techniques, with a focus on meeting stringent military specifications for durability and performance under extreme conditions. DEDRICK’s ability to deliver small-batch, high-reliability parts with rapid turnaround makes them a trusted supplier for complex assembly and actuation systems used in tactical equipment and vehicle platforms. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering custom-engineered components for ground systems, ordnance, and mechanical assemblies. Their work supports logistics, maintenance, and field-deployed platforms where interchangeability and repeatable quality are non-negotiable. Each award reflects direct alignment with defense supply chain needs for replaceable, load-bearing hardware, indicating a pattern of recurring engagement for mission-critical spare parts and subsystem components. Industry focus centers on NAICS 332618 for fabricated wire products and 332510 for hardware manufacturing, with additional capability in mechanical power transmission (333613). This positions DEDRICK as a niche supplier within the defense industrial base, serving applications requiring precision metal forming beyond standard commercial hardware. Their specialization in small-diameter, high-strength components fills a gap in the supply chain for specialized military hardware not mass-produced by larger manufacturers. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified firm based in Bluffton, Indiana, DEDRICK TOOL & DIE INC leverages its lean, agile structure to respond rapidly to urgent defense requirements. Their certifications enhance accessibility to set-aside contracting opportunities while affirming commitment to diversity in federal sourcing. The company’s geographic presence supports efficient logistics to major defense hubs across the Midwest and Southeast.
