Over Three Decades of High Quality Steel Products and Services

A sampling of TSA products

TSA Manufacturing was founded in 1973 in Omaha, Nebraska by Larry Feldhacker. TSA, which stands for Tri Sales Associates, began as a distributor operation, selling stud welding products to the metal working and construction companies in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. In 1975, TSA was incorporated.

TSA acquired it's first thread rolling machine, allowing TSA to begin production of U bolts, J bolts, eye bolts, anchor bolts, and many other threaded products. Today TSA has nine manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic thread rolling machines with capacities up to two inch diameters.

The first cold header machine was purchased in 1993, allowing TSA to produce weld studs for the construction and metal working industries. Currently, TSA has five cold header machines capable of manufacturing weld studs through 3/4" in diameter, in addition to other cold headed products.

In 1994 TSA acquired Slide Master of Addison, Illinois. With this acquisition TSA delved into the fourslide wire forming industry, allowing us to offer straightened cut and bent wire products.

Today TSA manufactures a complete line of threaded products, stud welding products and equipment and a specialty line of wire products, serving the construction and metal working industries throughout the United States.
