Alfred Kron GmbH from Solingen is your experienced B2B supplier for high-precision clips and spring clamps – elastic connecting elements that fix, guide or securely join components. Using state-of-the-art stamping and stamping-bending technology on BIHLER machines, we manufacture individual solutions for industry, automotive and electronics – reliable, durable and high-quality.
Clips and spring clamps offer:
- High spring force and return accuracy
- Precise fit for easy assembly
- Flexibility for mechanical engineering, electronics and automotive
Production uses high-quality materials such as spring steel, stainless steel or galvanized steel. Through precise stamping, bending, forming and edging, components are created with consistent dimensional accuracy and high repeatability. Complementary surface treatments such as galvanizing, nickel-plating or powder coating of fastening clips and clamping springs ensure corrosion resistance and longevity.

Practical Examples
At Alfred Kron GmbH, a spring clamp is produced from non-rusting 1.4310 spring steel strip, which uses its preload force to secure the camera installed in the car against vibrations and shocks.
For a lamp and luminaire manufacturer, we produce a clip with spring properties from 0.4 mm spring steel strip, enabling quick and uncomplicated installation of luminaires in recessed ceiling situations.
At Alfred Kron GmbH, we manufacture retaining clamps for various fastening functions for trims and connections of plastic covers on metal housings as well as for car door fastenings.
On request, we produce spring clamps with integrated thread formings up to a captively implemented nut with predefined positioning play for "hands-free assembly".

FAQ
What are clips and spring clamps?
Clips and spring clamps are elastic connecting elements that are precisely stamped and bent from metal. They serve to securely fix, guide and connect components such as cables, sheets or electronic parts. Thanks to their preload force, they reliably secure components against vibrations and generally allow tool-free, quick assembly and disassembly.
What materials are clips and spring clamps made from?
For maximum spring force and longevity, we manufacture retaining clips and spring steel clamps from high-quality materials such as stainless spring steel strip (e.g. 1.4310), stainless steel or galvanized steel. Depending on industrial requirements, the components can additionally be protected against corrosion through surface processes (such as galvanizing, nickel-plating or powder coating) or overmolded directly with plastic as a hybrid part using the insert-molding process.
In which industries are clips and spring clamps used?
Due to their flexibility and reliability, these components are indispensable across all industries. Typical areas of application are the automotive industry for sensor, line and camera mounts in the interior and engine compartment, the electronics and lighting industry for quick ceiling mounting, and general machine and plant engineering for protective covers and mechanical assemblies.
What advantages do custom-made spring clamps offer?
Steel clips and spring steel clamps made to drawing offer an exact fit for the specific application. They guarantee constant spring force, high return accuracy and extreme wear resistance. Fully automated production on state-of-the-art BIHLER stamping-bending machines also ensures absolutely repeatable and economical series production with minimal material loss.
Why is Alfred Kron GmbH the right manufacturer for spring clamps?
Alfred Kron GmbH from Solingen combines decades of experience in stamping and stamping-bending technology and supports our customers from individual design and prototype development through to large-scale series production. This is how durable precision solutions "Made in Solingen" are created, guaranteeing the highest functionality and reliability.
