RESEARCH

Research

At Del West, we’ve learned to constantly evaluate and re-evaluate the direction of our research and the degree of our effort, to make sure that whatever we produce is worthwhile and valuable to our customers.

In the past, this has led to the creation of: 

• Auto racing’s first, truly robust titanium valve
• The first commercially available pneumatic spring for auto racing
• Our offerings of titanium valves for series automotive engines 

More recently, new products derived from our research include:

• Aluminum metal matrix composites
• Light-weight watch components in colors previously impossible to achieve

How do we make this happen? We hire the best minds we can find. We maintain a dialogue with universities, attend meetings of technical organizations and read the relevant publications in our field. Our most important tool, though, is human imagination, and we give it free rein.

Del West. Precisely.
