A Manufacturing Family 45 Years in the Making Not all stamping and die manufacturers start out in a back room of a dairy farm. But 45 years ago, John Vecchi wanted to do something different. And he did. More than four decades later, John’s ingenuity, a spirit of innovation, and a commitment to family endure in J.V. Manufacturing Co., Inc. What started as a close-knit group of friends in Sarver has grown to an extended family of manufacturing experts at JVM’s headquarters in Natrona Heights. Core values of loyalty, dedication and trust shared between employees, customers, leadership and each other, continue to drive the company today. Now in its third generation of leadership, with a fourth generation close on its heels, John’s grandson Ryan Vecchi leads JVM as vice president. With an organizational ethos that started in 1975 and continues today, JVM actively works to deliver value to both employees and customers by taking care of everyone like family — while fulfilling every customer need on-time, on-spec, and on-budget. Products As a carbide dies and component manufacturer, JVM is focused on providing a suite of expertise and specialization in carbide services, including
design and engineering, precision surface grinding, jig grinding, EDM, machining, heat treating, die assembly, stamping and PEM technologies. Products serve a local, regional, national and global companies within the aerospace, appliance, automotive, consumer product, cosmetic, green product, medical and nuclear power industries. “We do everything in our power to ensure that our customers can meet tight specifications and customizations, tight tolerances, and even tighter deadlines. Our commitment to quality has kept our customers and our employees coming back since 1975. It’s also a major factor that has contributed to our growth over the years,” says Ryan Vecchi. Capabilities With a significant breadth and depth of engineering and design experience, along with a commitment to continuous improvements and investments in high-quality and high-value people and capital equipment, JVM offers a full range of high-speed, high-production carbide progressive stamping die production services. Unwavering attention to detail, a willingness to create and customize the right customer solutions, and a dedication to making sure every job is done right the first time, is what sets JVM apart from in the industry. A combination of engineering knowhow and state-of-the-art equipment means that JVM continuously produces the better carbide dies available anywhere. “My grandpa, John Vecchi, used to say that if you say you’re the best at what you do, anyone else can say they’re the best at it too,” says Ryan Vecchi. “That’s why we say ‘better.’ Because you can always be the best, but only one can be better.” JVM understands how important it is for companies to have high-speed, high-production carbide progressive stamping dies and the support components they need, exactly how and when they need them. By investing in high-quality people and equipment, J.V. Manufacturing Co. Inc. ensures all products manufactured meet customer

Like many manufacturing companies in southwestern Pennsylvania and across the nation, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented JVM with challenges and opportunities. The company has ramped up production by incorporating split shifts for continuous production capabilities, as well as assisted customers across industries in special production missions for COVID-related products, such as PPE gear for first-responders and healthcare workers. Like the family they are, JVM’s leadership has committed to taking care of employees during the pandemic as well. The company has offered special enrichment, engagement, social and wellness activities to connect across the plant and at home, as well as creating and sharing stockpiles of essential and hard-to-source goods, like cleaning products. Additionally, the company provided employees with a special one-time COVID-19 bonus to support families who may be experiencing hardships during this time, such as spousal layoffs. “We are a small village,” explains Melissa Vecchi, JVM’s executive director. “We take care of each other, and we take care of our customers. We always have, and now, more than ever, we always will.”
