Aranda Tooling

What Aranda Tooling manufactures

Aranda Tooling runs a metal stamping operation built around progressive die, transfer die, and deep drawn work, with more than 50 stamping presses on the floor in Chino. The company says its largest press, at 1,320 tons, is the biggest hirable press in the western US, and puts its output at more than one million precision parts per week. Both figures are the company's own, though the press fleet is consistent with its import records, which include SEYI press deliveries from Singapore and press-line equipment such as uncoilers, straighteners, and roll feeders from Taiwan.

Tool and die design happens in-house, and a substantial fabrication side runs alongside the presses: laser and waterjet cutting, CNC machining (turning, milling, wire EDM, grinding), MIG, TIG, spot, and robotic welding, forming and bending, and welded assemblies. Materials range from carbon and stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and brass to harder-to-run alloys including titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel. Published tolerances go as low as +/- 0.001 in.

The customer mix leans automotive, OEMs and tier suppliers first, followed by EV, medical, appliance, construction, military, plumbing, and renewable-energy work. Named portfolio parts include a 4130 chrome moly automotive stamping, a radiator frame assembly, a zinc-plated diaphragm cover, and laser-cut steel plates for alternative-energy projects; the company also cites faucets, paint pans, turbochargers, braking systems, door locks, and heat shields as example applications. Published lead times are 12 to 16 weeks to first article on new tooling, or 6 to 8 weeks on a tool transfer.

Ownership and history

The company started in Huntington Beach in 1975 and spent its first four decades there, doubling its footprint to 120,000 square feet in July 2014 by purchasing the 61,048-square-foot building next door on Springdale Street. Operations later moved inland to the current plant at 13950 Yorba Ave. in Chino, California.

In 2023, Aranda joined DSBJ, a manufacturing group the company describes as Singapore-headquartered with more than 65 facilities across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. The acquisition is visible in the customs record as well: shipments from Suzhou Dongshan Precision, a DSBJ affiliate, begin in early 2024. Aranda states that it maintains local leadership and operational control. Day-to-day leadership per the company's own materials: Gerrard Connolly, General Manager; Rene Castro, Director of Operations; and Shwetal Shah, Manager of Quality Engineering, with Brett Klynn handling business development.

Certifications and quality

Aranda holds ISO 9001:2015 certification with a scope covering manufacturing of metal stamped and fabricated metal parts; the certificate on file is dated June 2024, and the company's quality lineage on record runs back through ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9002. It is also registered under the Buy American Act and Made in the USA programs, both self-certified registrations. For buyers planning a PPAP submission, the company staffs a dedicated quality engineering function under a named manager.

Sourcing evidence

Aranda's US import record looks the way a stamper's should: 456 sea shipments since July 2015, dominated by stamping dies, checking fixtures, and press equipment rather than finished goods. That pattern, tooling in, parts out, is the signature of a manufacturer that builds overseas tooling for domestic production, not a reseller. Bills of lading name 46 foreign suppliers; the most active:

Eight shown of 46 recorded suppliers.

By HS chapter, the mix leads with automotive parts and accessories (98 shipments), plastics (65), iron and steel articles (57), and interchangeable press tooling, meaning stamping dies and die sets (50). Origin countries: China (191 shipments), South Korea (102), Singapore (78), and India (55). ImportYeti estimates cumulative ocean shipping spend at roughly $1.4M since 2015, with cost data covering 86% of shipments, an order-of-magnitude figure rather than an audited one. Aranda also appears as a supplier in Mexico's import data with 345 shipments, a cross-border footprint relevant to buyers weighing nearshoring options and tariff exposure.

The supplier network overlaps with several demanding supply chains. Simwon Tech also ships to Tesla; Suzhou Dongshan Precision to Tesla and Jabil; Almac, another Aranda supplier, to Rivian and Linamar; Sika China to Gestamp West Virginia and Volvo; Tek Guthrie to Garrett Motion. Shared suppliers say nothing about who buys from Aranda, but they do indicate its tooling sources hold up inside proven automotive and EV programs.

Coverage caveats: these are US ocean-freight records only. Air, truck, and rail movements, including most US-Mexico flows, do not appear; some records name freight intermediaries rather than manufacturers; and product categories come from declared manifest codes, which are noisy. Absence of a record is not evidence of absence.
