Arrowhead Industries Corp. was founded in the mid 1970's by the inventor of the lance and stretch process for producing core metal inserts used in weatherseals, glass run and trim products by the automotive industry. In October of 1985, current management purchased the corporation.

Since then, we have grown to be the worldwide leader in core metal insert production and supply. Arrowhead manufactures both lanced and stretched, as well as, high speed precision stamped core metal inserts. Currently, our global capacity exceeds 1 billion feet annually.

In 1996 Arrowhead vertically integrated by adding internal slitting capabilities. In 1999, we opened a new 30,000 sq. ft. addition at our plant and headquarters location.


Arrowhead's Quality Management System is certified to ISO/TS 16949:2002 standards and requirements.


Our goal is to be your Total Core Metal Supplier. In order to accomplish this, we are expanding our product offering to include coated and uncoated solid core products.

Our continuing objective at Arrowhead Industries Corp. is to make our company and our customers more profitable now and in the future. We will accomplish this goal by hiring and employing people with the requisite combination of intelligence, skills, experience and motivation to design, manufacture, sell, and service core metal insert products in a manner that will delight our customers.

Our people will, in conjunction with a core group of superior suppliers, develop and apply innovative technologies, employee training methods, and quality systems to create ever-increasing value for our customers. In the process we will develop a respect and goodwill between ourselves and our customers that enhance our mutual progress toward increasing profitability.
