Welcome to Autoswage
High Quality Contact Pins, Connector Pins and Small Metal Parts at Less Cost
Autoswage has been a trusted manufacturer of contact pins, connector pins, and specialty electronic and mechanical small metal parts in Shelton, Connecticut since 1946. Having developed a proprietary cold form rolling process, the company has built its reputation for providing small businesses and the world's leading manufacturers 
like IBM, Tyco, GE, and Apple with high quality parts at significantly lower costs over machined parts.
Autoswage sold its swaging process in 2010 to expand its cold form rolling, cold heading, bandoliering, and specialty plating processes to provide a greater range of products to industrial and commercial manufacturing customers. To fulfill the requirements of specialty hardware customers as well as electronics customers, the specialty plating and pre-finishing department has been expanded to include nickel plating, cosmetic plating, micro plating, gold plating, copper plating, tin plating, and tin/lead plating. It also offers metal lacquering of cosmetic hardware to protect the fine finishes from tarnishing during shipment in containers. Future expansion of the plating department will include additional gold baths for cosmetic plating for its leather goods and handbag hardware customers.
Responding to the needs of customers for more than 65 years, Autoswage is always willing to explore ways to expand to serve customers better.
Autoswage serves a variety of industries including but not limited to consumer electronics, computers, luggage, handbags, automotive, lighting, locks, furniture, cosmetics (hinges), medical, and telecommunications.
Welcome Message from Autoswage President Keith Brenton
Autoswage was established by our grandfather, Bartley E. Hall, and two partners, in a small garage on Roberts Street in Shelton, Connecticut in late 1946. It was originally called HGH Products and produced contact pins for fluorescent lighting. In 1952 operations moved to the Star Pin Building on Canal Street and the name was officially changed to Auto-Swage Products. At that time, Grandfather bought out his two partners and became the sole owner.
Bart Hall's engineering skills and expertise led him to design the very machines we use today for our proprietary automatic die swaging and automatic die pin rolling manufacturing processes. The design features created by our grandfather allows us to produce high quality pins at faster production rates and lower costs than screw machines and other manufacturing processes. Our customers today continue to benefit from his foresight and technical acumen.
Autoswage has been at its 28,000 square foot River Road address since 1966. It was at this facility that plating services were established in the mid-sixties. Donald L. Brenton, our father and Grandfather Hall's son in law, joined the firm in 1966 and successfully led the company until his retirement in 1998. Sadly, Grandfather Hall passed away in 1973.
Today my brother David and I run the business. Together we continue the family tradition of providing our clients with high quality parts, personalized customer service and the lowest possible prices. In a continued effort to ensure high quality standards in our operations we maintain our ISO9001:2000 certification.
Autoswage has a standing commitment to provide all our customers with high quality parts and service. We pay attention to your needs and are willing to explore ways we can expand that will allow us to serve you better.
David and I are happy to speak with you and answer any questions you may have about how our manufacturing processes can provide you with the part you need, and the finishing services you require, all at a low price that will make you smile!
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to getting to know you.
Sincerely,
Keith Brenton
President
