For over 125 years, Dyson Corp. has supplied domestic fasteners, forgings and machined parts to America’s transportation infrastructure of bridges, railroads and waterways, the fossil fuel industries of mining and power generation, shipbuilding and nuclear power, and the OEM supply chain. Beginning in 1884, as a specialty forge shop in Cleveland, founder Joseph Dyson started to produce small forgings for various industries. Responding to customer demand, Dyson Corp. soon developed the capability to manufacture larger fasteners and forgings, as well as fork arms for the material handling industry. Today, forgings made at the Painesville, Ohio plant range in size from 1/2 to 10,000 pounds. Equipment includes a combination of hammers, mechanical and hydraulic presses, upsetters, benders, and state-of-the-art hot part formers with in-line heat treating. In addition, the company’s extensive CNC turning and milling operations, and the considerable thread rolling, drilling and tapping capability have helped Dyson develop into a premier critical fastener manufacturer. Working in product diameters from 1-1/2" to 8", Dyson is producing fasteners to various specifications, including ASME, MIL, ANSI, and DIN, and servicing critical component markets, such as military product and nuclear power.
