Family-owned in Winsted, Connecticut since 1971 · ISO 9001:2015 certified · OEMs worldwide send us a drawing — and get back their part.
Frequently asked questions
Which cutting method will my part use?
It depends on material, thickness, tolerance, and volume: steel-rule die cutting for production runs, laser and digital knife for tight tolerance and prototypes, water jet for thick or layered materials, rotary for high-speed kiss-cut parts.
Can H-O laminate an adhesive to my material?
Yes — lamination of pressure-sensitive adhesives to foams, rubbers, films, and composites is a core capability, matched to your substrate and environment.
