Minneapolis, MN – September 27, 2023 – In 2018, Boker’s, Inc., a leading manufacturer of precision, made-to-order metal stampings and washers, had a vision to develop a new state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the ever-changing needs of their customers in almost every industry around the world.

“Since fully coming online, the expanded area has helped our company streamline processes, increase productivity of project workflow and continue to provide world-class: quality components, customer service and fast delivery,” said Amy Kersey, Boker’s CEO/President.

With 66,500 square feet of space added for material storage, production, quality assurance and shipping, the new building almost doubled the previous manufacturing footprint of Boker’s South Minneapolis headquarters, to over 165,000 square feet. In particular, the larger area to inventory raw material enables the company to expedite orders and shorten delivery times for short-, medium-, or long-runs. Having immediate access to over 2,000 commonly specified and hard-to-find materials, including metallic, non-metallic and super alloys, allows Boker’s to quickly meet customer needs.

Focused On the Future. Meeting Customer Needs Today.

For over 100 years, Boker’s has been providing precision stampings, washers, spacers and shims to companies in fast-paced, high-demand industries. The increased space in the new facility has also created opportunities to scale and grow, integrating new technologies to address the ever-changing needs and product diversification of their customers.

In addition to housing the company’s vast stamping and washer capabilities, the new structure provided the opportunity to layout our manufacturing processes linearly, facilitate in-house secondary machining operations, and provide an expanded area to accommodate improved workflow for packing and order fulfillment.

“Team members have expressed an appreciation for the more streamlined manufacturing space and are experiencing the positive impact on project workflow,” said Tony Kersey, Boker’s Communications Manager. “Coming out of the pandemic, everyone here has worked hard to significantly reduce lead times and exceed customer on-time deliveries, and now, most orders ship in two weeks or less.”

Since 1919, customers on the forefront of technology across the globe have trusted Boker’s to manufacture custom precision stamped components. After a year of operations in the new facility, it’s clear to everyone in the organization that they’ll be able to continue the values and traditions of the company’s founder, Vitus Boker, for high quality parts, hard work and attention to detail, for many years to come.

Clipped Washers from Boker’s, Inc., Are Key to Limited Space Applications

Minneapolis, MN – February 24, 2021 – Design engineers who have limited space and need to control axial motion within their applications can turn to clipped washers from Boker’s, Inc.

Clipped washers have a flat edge on either the outside diameter (OD), inside diameter (ID) or both. This flat edge helps prevent the washer from rotating in applications, especially when space is limited, and component performance is critical. Many applications require clipped washers, and they are used across many industries including:

Automotive
Marine
Aerospace
Medical
and countless more.

“Clipped washers, also referred to as D-washers, are generally used in applications where space limitations do not allow the use of a flat round washer, as well as when keeping an assembly stationary is required,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager. “Clipped washers can be used with shafts, rods or mating parts that are shaped like a ‘D’”.

The functionality of the clipped washers come from providing a flat bearing surface within assemblies. They are generally used under the head of a bolt and/or a nut to disperse loads as well as to prevent the washer from turning in the application. They are mounted with the flat edge of the washer facing a flat surface or recessed hole to prevent rotation. Clipped washers are available in steel, stainless steel, aluminum as well as over 2,000 other stock metallic and non-metallic materials to meet specific applications needs.

Design engineers can choose from a wide variety of sizes, thicknesses and materials, including non-metallic to suit their applications. Boker’s clipped washers are custom produced in short, medium and long runs with fast delivery, minimal tool cost and with 3D prototypes available.

Additionally, Boker’s maintains over 32,000 stock tools for flat round washers, spacers and shims without tool charges. With outside diameters of 0.080″ to 5.140″ and a wide variety of inside diameters, there are millions of flat and specialty washer possibilities.

Square Washers from Boker’s Help Secure Fastening in Tight Spaces

Minneapolis, MN – February 4th, 2020 – Boker’s, Inc. a leading manufacturer of precision metal stampings, washers, spacers and shims, offers complete production of non-standard and customized square and rectangular washers and spacers designed to provide secure fastening, turn resistance and load distribution—even in the tightest clearances. Boker’s square and rectangular washers are available in a wide range of materials, bolt and I.D. sizes, in O.D. sizes up to 12” x 12” (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm), and in thicknesses ranging from .005” to .190” (.127 mm to 4.8 mm).

“Like round washers, square washers are often used to distribute torque loads in secure fastening applications,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager. “But precision stamped square and rectangular washers offer the added advantage of being able to work in more restricted spaces and can be used to provide edge-to-edge contact to resist turning.” These products extend into many designs, from slotted hole square plate washers, to those with rounded outside corners. Kersey added that in general, square washers offer excellent fastening friction, and provide reliable connection security in crevice, channel and Unistrut-style applications.

In addition, square washers are also widely used as shims, separating the bolt crown from what is being anchored, reducing the possibilities of deformity when tightening, and helping to keep joining surfaces undamaged. This bushing or packing approach is often used in the construction industry or in applications to act as a force-countering support in fastener rods and complex part profiles.

Square and rectangular washers are often emerging as a higher-performance alternative to round washers in a diverse array of applications subject to vibration forces, ranging from industrial machinery to aerospace, from washing machines to automobiles. By effectively expanding the diameter of the bolt’s head, square washers offer greater dispersal of load and turning resistance in many applications, helping maintain fastening integrity, and protecting and prolonging the life of connected parts.

Boker’s square and rectangular washers are custom produced to order in short, medium and long runs with fast delivery and minimal tool cost with available 3D prototypes. Options in more that 2,000 commonly specified and difficult-to-find materials are available, including metallic and non-metallic materials. Metallic material selections include low-carbon sheet steel, various spring steels, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and a range of non-metallic material options. Available metal finishes include black oxide, nickel, zinc and others.

Custom Lock and Tab Washers from Boker’s Offer Secure Fastening

Minneapolis, MN – August 14, 2019 – Boker’s, a leading manufacturer of precision metal stampings, washers, spacers and shims, offers complete production of non-standard and customized lock washers and tab washers designed to provide secure fastening in your essential applications. These types of washers are vital in applications subjected to vibration, torque, heat or corrosion, providing an additional security measure to restrict threaded nuts, bolts or fastening systems from turning, slipping or loosening under load.

Lock washers are widely used as a reliable method to secure fastening. Common designs include internal tooth, external tooth or combination internal and external tooth designs. Lock washers exert a load, partially deform and lock a fastener in place. Tab washers are an additional form of lock washer that features one or more internal or external notches or tabs designed to hold the nut in place in relation to the connecting bolt or stud. Tabs may be bent or engage into keyways or slots in connected surfaces to provide a positive locking surface. In some applications they are deployed along with a flat washer in order to distribute the load evenly without deforming the assembly that the fastener is secured to.

“As a leading manufacturer of precision metal stampings and washers, Boker’s provides production capabilities for countless non-standard lock and tab washer configurations, as well as completely unique, custom designs for any application demands,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager. “Coupled with immediate access to over 2,000 materials and one of the industry’s widest range of sizes and thicknesses, we can help OEMs produce virtually any high-performance tab washer design they can envision.”

Tab washer sizes include a complete range of sizes up to 12 inches in outside diameter, in addition to multiple inside diameter and thickness options, for compatibility with all types of nuts, bolts or fastening systems. With over 100 years of production, Boker’s has extensive experience in washers for numerous critical and vibration-proof applications including multiple forms of land, marine and air transportation, military, industrial machinery, tools, pumps, motors and HVAC applications, all the way to consumer products such as appliances.

Boker’s maintains over 32,000 stock tools for flat round washers, spacers and shims without tool charges.

Boker’s Celebrates 100 Years in Business

Minneapolis, MN – January 16, 2019 – Boker’s, a metal stamping manufacturer of precision metal stampings, washers, spacers and shims, reaches its 100^th anniversary in 2019. Boker’s will celebrate and honor its valued customers and employees throughout the year and also the opening of their new manufacturing facility.

“We are thankful and honored that we have been able to serve our customers and help them be successful over the past 100 years,” said Amy Kersey, CEO/President. “We are also grateful to be able to provide good quality jobs to our dedicated employees.”

Boker’s, founded in 1919 by Vitus Boker and his son, John, started their family business around their first products, an envelope folding machine and a small hand check protector. However, with his tooling knowledge, the enterprise began generating more revenue from manufacturing prototypes and custom parts for automated machinery. As the word spread of Boker’s unique process for producing high-quality, short-run, stamped metal parts, demand grew. Vitus quickly found himself entrenched within the stamping industry as one of the pioneers of short-run stampings. The business boomed and has continued to flourish throughout the years, growing in space and customer base.

In 1968, Boker’s was purchased by four of its employees: William (Bill) Tedlund, Joseph Basara, Chester Engquist, and Joseph Kantorowicz, and was run successfully for many years. In 1986 Bill Tedlund became the sole owner. He continued to lead the business with the Boker’s values and traditions, instilling those principles with his own family.

Today, Boker’s is still a privately held family-owned business, guided by Vitus Boker’s principals of hard work and attention to detail with Bill Tedlund as Chairman of the Board. From starting to help out the family business as children, the legacy continues with Bill’s children Wendy, Amy and Barry as shareholders. Amy Kersey (Bill’s daughter) is the current CEO/President and her sons, Chuck and Tony Kersey as the 5^th generation at the helm of Sales and Marketing.

Boker’s has manufactured parts for almost every industry and product imaginable: from payphones, coffee makers, medical devices, missiles, mail sorting machines to dental instruments, snowshoes, and aircrafts. Stampings and washers are needed in virtually everything we use or come in contact with on a daily basis. “The parts we make affect everyone we care about, and that’s why delivery of quality components through certified processes are important.” says Tony Kersey, Marketing Manager.

“Our employees and the culture they create are the core of Boker’s long-lasting success,” said Mark Kersey, Vice President. “Boker’s was founded on the principles of hard work, camaraderie and creating an atmosphere where employees feel appreciated and encouraged to grow personally and professionally. Some of us have been with Boker’s for 40-45 years and have worked many different positions throughout our careers. Our culture is very customer-orientated and continues to be one of our greatest strengths.”

Boker’s is currently expanding their manufacturing facility to streamline processes and add capacity as product diversification continues to grow. The new space adds 66,500 square feet, almost doubling their current manufacturing space. “I’m looking forward to getting the new plant up and running,” said Amy Kersey. “This expansion will help us continue to exceed our customers’ requirements into the future without ever losing sight of their needs, nor our team.”

“Our controlled processes coupled with our employee base is what sets us apart,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager. “Our team works hard and is dedicated to following and continually improving processes. This is the reason Boker’s is successful and will continue to be for the next 100 years.”

Boker’s Precise Manufacturing Capabilities Provide Dental Company with Complex Stampings

Minneapolis, MN—December 4, 2018—Garmers Dental Instruments, Inc. has been in business for over a century. Starting out as a small dental practice in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it later grew into a successful dental instrument manufacturer. Herman Garmers was a practicing dentist who came up with an idea to improve the clamping structure for dental cotton roll holders. His vision was to create a holder that would securely hold the cotton rolls in the desired absorbent position. This instrument was patented on January 20th, 1953.

Cotton holders are used in various applications such as bleaching, cavities, fillings and operative and restorative treatments. The holders provide more retraction, accessibility and visibility of the working area during a procedure. These are most important for use when a dentist is working alone without an extra pair of hands to help isolate the area being worked on.

During the journey of developing his improved cotton roll holder, Garmers discovered he needed complex stamping pieces manufactured to secure the connecting parts of the instrument. This is where an accidental meeting provided Garmers with the partner he needed to produce the holder.

A minor fender bender between Garmers and J.P. Boker, who happened to operate a stamping and washer manufacturing company in Minneapolis, turned into an immediate business relationship. At the time, Garmers could not find a supplier who was able to manufacture the stamped parts needed to complete his dental instrument in large quantities. Boker’s was known in the industry for being able to make custom, complex stampings to match any customer’s specification.

The Garmers’ cotton roll holder is a “household name” in the dental industry. The cotton roll holder securely holds any size or length of cotton in place during dental procedures. This keeps the cotton from rolling away or popping out. Another unique feature is the sliding chin clamp that keeps the holder in place on every patient, child or adult.

“This chance meeting ended up being a perfect match for both of us and we have continued a strong business relationship that is now going on 85 years,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager at Boker’s. “Both Garmers and Boker’s share the same principals of hard work, attention to detail, and moral and ethical behavior in everything that they do.”

Boker’s, Inc., continues to specialize in producing high quality custom metal stampings for dental and medical applications. This precision manufacturing covers a complete range of sizes up to 12 inches x 12 inches (flat) with thicknesses from .005 inches to .190 inches (varies by material) and draws of up to 3 inches deep and 8 inches in diameter. Boker’s utilizes many of the latest technologies and precision metal stamping manufacturing concepts to focus on providing customers with quality stampings that fit their needs. With over 2,000 stock material options including metallic and non-metallic, Boker’s can produce custom stampings, washers, spacers and shims in short, medium or long runs. In addition, Boker’s provides a dedicated quality-assurance department to ensure products meet strict customer requirements.

Custom D-Washers Available From Boker’s

Minneapolis, MN—March 1, 2018—Boker’s, a manufacturer of precision metal stampings, washers, spacers and shims, is the leading stamping manufacturer of application specific D-washers.

D-washers get their name based on the “D” shape that is created by having a flat edge on either the OD, the ID or a combination of both. D-washers provide a flat bearing surface and are used under the head of a bolt and / or a nut to disperse loads as well as prevent the washer from turning in the application. They are generally mounted with the flat edge of the washer facing a flat surface or recessed hole.

Many applications require D-washers and they are used in many industries such as automotive, marine, aerospace, medical and countless more. “D-washers, also referred to as clipped washers, are generally used in applications where space limitations do not allow the use of a flat round washer, as well as when keeping an assembly stationary is required,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager.

Boker’s dome washers can be utilized in a variety of applications, including: electronic motors, valve components, automatic door apparatus, and drivetrain assemblies.

Dome washers can be heat treated and plated to meet your exact specifications.

Boker’s can manufacture custom stampings, washers, spacers and shims with an outside diameter from 0.080 inches to 12 inches and material thickness from .005″ to .190″ inches. Boker’s is committed to delivering quality, precise custom dome washers for just about any application need.
