About
Storm Copper Components Co. - Incorporated in
1990 as Storm Manufacturing Corporation, the company's first location
was an old feed store in Dunlap, Tennessee. As sales increased, so
did demand for additional manufacturing space.
In
1991 we purchased a 20,000 sq/ft "Butler Style" building
in Decatur, Tennessee. Today the company is still based in Decatur
with 50,000 sq/ft of manufacturing space and 17 acres of land for
future expansion. Our current personnel count is at 52 full time employees.
Storm
has three major products: copper fabrications, cable assemblies and
product assembly. The contribution each area makes to sales is 70%,
25% and 5% respectively. Storm also supplies some small metal fabrications
to existing customers which makes up the balance of our total sales
dollars.
Storm
processes well over 1,500 tons of CDA 11000 Electrolytic Tough Pitch
Copper in a year. CDA 11000 is the most common type of copper used
in the United States. It has a minimum copper content of 99.90%, and
an electrical conductivity of 101% IACS. The main application, for
the copper fabrications we produce, is to conduct electricity in everything
from large stationary battery systems to electronic motor control
centers.
Storm
purchases copper in sheet and bar form and then fabricates it to the
exact specifications of our customer. In most cases, a fabrication
passes through four manufacturing stations: shearing, punching, forming
and plating.
