We just ran across this photo of the custom spring barstools that were presented to Bob Kuramata, Regional Sales Manager at Betts Spring Manufacturing, when he retired.

We thought it was worth resharing.

A pretty cool going-away gift and a great example of the creativity in the shop.

Action shot of one of our large hot wound coil springs coming off the coiler at around 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit.

At that temperature, the steel is hot enough to form, but the timing and handling still have to be right. That is where process and experience matter.

Next stop is the quench tank, an important step in helping the spring develop the strength and durability needed for demanding applications.

It’s another look inside the work happening every day at Betts Spring Manufacturing.

By the way, stand by for a whole new set of photos and videos from the factory floor coming soon!

These springs may look like they just came from the shot peener, but they are actually finished, powder coated, and ready to ship. This shows how Betts Spring Manufacturing helps customers develop custom springs built to their specs.

For years, Betts Company has worked with engineering students from Fresno State's Valley Industry Partnership (VIP) Program. Through this partnership, students from the Lyles College of Engineering gain real-world experience with local companies, applying what they learn in the classroom.

This older spring blueprint offers a glimpse of that work and the kind of engineering detail young engineers reviewed during their time with us. It shows what goes into spring design, from wire diameter and coil count to load rate, material, and tolerances.

A quality spring starts long before production.

If you are, or have been, part of Fresno State’s VIP Program, we would love to hear from you in the comments.

With spring almost here, California’s Central Valley is gearing up for another busy season in agriculture, and much of that work starts right here at home.

This region, home to Betts Company and its Betts Spring Manufacturing division, produces one-fourth of the nation’s food, including 40 percent of the nation’s fruits, nuts, and other table foods.

Spring is a critical time for agriculture as farmers prepare fields, maintain equipment, and support the growing season. From tractors and harvesters to irrigation systems and heavy-duty pickups, this work depends on durable, high-performance springs that absorb shock, manage loads, and help machinery run smoothly.

Betts Spring Manufacturing is proud to support the farmers and manufacturers who help sustain agriculture in the Central Valley and feed communities across the country.
