Precious metals are applied in variety of industries because of their unique properties such as a high melting point, being chemically inert as well as an excellent conductor, and being highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion. Precious metal products are often developed for specific purposes. IAM Drijfhout can offer a large range of custom-made products. For example, we offer springs, gauze, rings, and different kinds of electrodes that are, for instance, applied in flow measurerers. New products can be produced internally at our company, or at one of our (international) partners.
IAM Drijfhout offers support in the whole process of developing custom made products for a diverse range of industries and organizations, including universities, research institutes, semiconductor firms, and industrial companies.

How do I start a custom made product project with IAM Drijfhout?
Just contact us! Most of the time, we can work with simple pen-and-paper sketches of the desired design. As long as all dimensions, materials, and wishes are clearly formulated, we can help you on your way.
What types of custom made products can IAM Drijfhout manufacture?
That is quite broad. Our focus is on precious metal labware. This means we primarily produce smaller objects, due to their cost, which are used in industrial, analytical, and medical applications.
What materials are available for custom made products?
We specialize in products made from precious metals. The main materials we focus on are silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, and rhodium.
What is the typical lead time for a custom made product?
This depends on the complexity of the product, the quantity, and the materials used. For a single item, the production time can be between two to four weeks. For batches of 100 or more, it depends on the manufacturing process. We are happy to calculate this for you once all dimensions and specifications of the items are complete.
Are there minimum order quantities for custom made products?
We do not employ minimum order quantities for custom made products.
How does IAM Drijfhout ensure the quality of custom made products?
We only work with partner manufacturers with whom we have a longstanding relationship. We know their quality and the materials used, to guarantee quality products.

We specialize in B2B services for the BeNeLux region. However, we can assist with international requests. Contact us to see if we can help you with your custom-made item.
How does IAM Drijfhout handle intellectual property and confidentiality?
