About ITW Highland Manufacturing Co
ITW Highland Manufacturing Co., operating as ITW Drawform, is headquartered in Waterbury, Connecticut. The business originated in the early 1970s as a family-owned company called Drawform, which pioneered the air bag industry by becoming the first to stamp machined-like features with precise tolerances on deep drawn parts. The company specializes in precision deep drawn metal stampings and assemblies, with capabilities extending to product design, tooling, prototyping, automation, welding, precision machining, and in-die features. Its in-house tool room develops production tooling, and a validation lab performs metallurgical, environmental, fatigue, leak, burst, electrical, and dynamic testing. ITW Drawform runs five locations worldwide and works with materials ranging from high-strength low-alloy steels and 300/400 series stainless to aluminum, copper, Inconel, and various pre-plated and specialty metals. Primary markets include automotive — both internal-combustion and electric-vehicle platforms — with specific programs in suspension, transmission, emissions, lighting, airbag, braking, and fluid-management systems. For EV customers the company produces lithium-ion battery can and top-cap assemblies, pack degassing and combination valves, mounting sleeves, and coolant connectors. Additional sectors served are defense, HVAC, hardware, fire suppression, and medical. ITW Drawform emphasizes a "Customer-Back-Innovation" process that partners with clients from concept through production, using computer simulation to shorten development cycles. The firm's early breakthrough in airbag components and its integration into ITW provide financial strength to invest in new technologies during the industry's shift to electrification.
