Custom Deep Drawn Stampings of Stainless Steel Valves

As a critical supplier to the automotive industry, Gem produces a myriad of different sensors, actuators and valve components for tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers. This idle speed fuel control valve controls the air and fuel flow while a vehicle is idling. When throttle bodies began replacing carburetors, this unique valve was needed to control the fuel / air mixture.

Using a 437 US Baird transfer press, Gem manufactures the Housing from 304 stainless steel and passivates it prior to shipment.

Gem Manufacturing produces approximately 250,000 units annually with a 3 – 4 week turnaround time.
