Quick answer
Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia manufacture compression, extension and torsion springs, clips and custom wire forms for automotive, appliances, electronics and industrial assemblies. A usable RFQ needs a drawing, material, force points, cycle target and surface finish. Typical MOQ is 5,000-100,000 pieces.
ASEAN country fit
| Country | Best for | Typical MOQ | Buyer advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thailand | Automotive and appliance springs with disciplined process control | 5,000 pcs | Strong forming ecosystem |
| Vietnam | High-volume wire forms, clips and general springs | 10,000 pcs | Competitive production |
| Malaysia | Precision springs for electronics and industrial assemblies | 5,000 pcs | Documentation strength |
Specifications to lock before quoting
- Wire grade, diameter, tensile range and material standard
- Free length, coil diameter, active coils, pitch, ends and direction
- Force at specified heights or angles and permitted tolerance
- Shot peening, stress relief, presetting, plating or passivation
- Cycle-life target, corrosion exposure, packaging and lot traceability
Compliance for developed-market importers
Specify ASTM, EN, JIS or customer material standards, restricted-substance declarations and plating requirements. Safety-critical automotive applications may require PPAP and controlled special processes.
Factory qualification and QC plan
- Audit wire identification, forming setup, heat treatment and gauge calibration
- Check dimensions, load at points, torque, squareness and hook geometry
- Run fatigue, salt-spray or relaxation tests according to application risk
- Control tangling, deformation, count, labels and moisture protection
Landed-cost factors
Tooling is often modest, but sorting, fatigue validation, plating and tight force tolerances add cost. Compare process capability and defect escape risk rather than piece price alone.
FAQ
What information does a spring supplier need?
Provide a controlled drawing, material, force or torque points, operating environment, cycle life and annual volume.
Can a factory reverse-engineer a sample spring?
It can measure a sample, but buyers should still define functional loads and fatigue requirements because used samples may have relaxed.
How are spring forces checked?
Use calibrated load testers at the heights or angles stated on the drawing, with an agreed sampling plan.
