About Century Spring
Our Century Spring Corp. (CSC) location first started manufacturing products 100 years ago and is renowned for stocking the largest and most diverse inventory of springs in the industry.
Century’s highest priority is customer satisfaction, having received numerous customer service awards for on-time delivery, shipping accuracy, and quality control measures that are guided by ISO standards. Whether the demand is for production volumes or small prototype quantities, CSC’s stock levels and low order minimums make it simple to satisfy customer requirements quickly, without lengthy manufacturing lead times.
Our Story
In 1927, Century Spring commenced operations as a made-to-order custom spring manufacturer, just like the thousands of spring manufactures that currently operate around the globe. After more than two decades of this, Century’s owner, Bernie Stellias had the foresight and entrepreneurial spirit to begin making over-runs of the custom jobs his customers would order. He did this for two reasons; first to reduce set-up and lead time for future re-orders, and secondly, to assign the over-run parts a stock number and subsequently list them in a catalog.
Over a very short period of time, the list of catalog springs grew very quickly. Beginning in the late 1950’s and through the early 1980’s, the same owner would travel and promote Century Spring’s stock spring catalog at manufacturing trade shows across America. In doing so, the ever-growing Century catalog was introduced as a unique and reliable source for springs across all manufacturing industries.
When new ownership came in late in the 1980’s, it came with an influx of capital and innovative marketing strategies to better build the already successful brand. By the late 1990’s Century had become a global brand to OEM’s on every continent, and by the early 2000’s, Century Spring had launched the first ever fully e-Commerce website for stock springs, establishing itself as the go-to source for Made in USA stock and custom springs, for any OEM or MRO application.
Today, Century Spring carries on the same traditions and remains the premier spring source for engineers at the beginning of their design phase. Boasting over 40,000 in-stock spring designs, Century has created a market niche for eliminating the painstaking element of OEM spring design from a BOM. For nearly 100 years now, Century has continued to add new designs to its stock offering, but has also remained committed to the ongoing expansion of its custom spring manufacturing capabilities. With continuous improvement to manufacturing processes, quality standards, raw material procurement, service and delivery levels, Century has positioned itself as the industry leader for sourcing springs, for all vertical markets, and for its growing body of tens of thousands of customers, around the World.
“I needed an obscure size spring, and while considering a custom run, the staff suggested a near equivalent from their stock items. It has worked great, cutting my cost and equipment downtime.”

Our Manufacturing Services
Discover our comprehensive range of manufacturing services designed to enhance product durability, performance, and customization. From advanced coatings to rigorous testing protocols, we provide specialized solutions to meet the most demanding industrial requirements.
-
Coating is used most often to resist environmental factors like corrosion or embrittlement.
-
Do you need specialized packaging? We work with your teams to determine the best way to build and package your products to ensure efficient assembly with your existing components.
-
Cycle TestingCycle testing, or life cycle testing is a process where products are tested to ensure adequate life cycle or product lifetime under regular working conditions.
-
Optimize your designs to reduce cost, improve performance, and accelerate time to market.
-
We perform precision sharpening and CNC grinding services including electrochemical grinding in the production or finishing phase as needed for your intended application.
-
Hardness TestingRockwell testing is a specific method used for testing the hardness of materials like metals and some plastics. The Rockwell scale measures penetration of the material when force is applied.
-
Outside of hardening and tempering, we offer a variety of other heat treatment options to ensure your desired ranges are reached for cycle-life, toughness, and resistance to environmental forces.
-
Mag Particle / MagnafluxingThis is an NDT process where a magnetic field is added directly or indirectly to the component and used to test certain metals like nickel, cobalt, iron, and their alloys for shallow surface inconsistencies.
-
Non-Destructive TestingNDT or Non-Destructive testing is a broader term used to describe multiple testing techniques used, particularly in technology and science, to test components or materials without damaging the testing materials.
-
PlatingPlating is a manufacturing process where a thin coating is applied to a component’s surface through chemicals or electric current (electroplating).
-
Century Spring offers prototypes or sample parts for a variety of custom components including springs, fasteners, bellows, couplings, and other precision metal parts. We also offer rapid prototyping for select components, with shipping in as little as one week.
-
Shot PeeningShot peening refers to a process used to create a stress layer on metal parts to increase durability. In this process, small round materials or shot are used to repeatedly strike the surface of the part to increase hardness and strength. Shot can be composed of anything from ceramic or glass to metal.
-
Wire forming and rolling processes are used to bend or form cylindrical metal stock into a desired shape and length, many times using high-tech machining software.
