Exploring the Diverse Industries That TLC Supports
John B. Thomson founded Thomson Lamination Company, Inc. (TLC®) in 1964 to fill the need for high-end, tight-tolerance stamped electrical components in niche or specialty markets. Today, our product line includes motor laminations and related products with mission-critical applications in the rotating components of a broad spectrum of industries. They go through a high-temperature annealing process within a controlled atmosphere in-house.
To meet the high performance and quality requirements of industries like aerospace, medical, and the military, we use specialty alloys like nickel and cobalt. This allows us to design rotating components that are strong enough to handle harsh environmental conditions but lightweight, compact, and fast enough to meet industry needs. Adhering to our own set of exacting standards, our expert teams ensure quality for orders of any size. We offer competitive prototyping, short-run, and full-production stampings to best serve our diverse client base.

We offer comprehensive in-house capabilities to be your single source for stamped electrical components. With close collaboration, our departments produce motor stampings, stator laminations, and more, of the highest quality so that you can achieve success in any application. Our extensive product capabilities include the following:
- Precision carbide dies
- Magnetic core assemblies
- Proto-, short-, and production-run stampings
- Custom assemblies
- Annealing magnetic materials
Industries We Serve
TLC offers mission-critical assembled laminations for technically challenging industries such as the medical, military, aerospace, energy, and machine tool sectors. An overview of the industries we serve includes:
- Medical. For reconstructive, spinal, cranial, and neurosurgery, we supply healthcare organizations with large quantities of precision-made lamination stacks for high-speed power tool applications.
- Military. Offering large-scale manufacturing for the military, we provide motor laminations and lamstacks to meet the industry’s stringent quality standards. They’re applicable in a variety of military equipment, including tanks, destroyers, aircraft carriers, planes, drones, laser weaponry, smart bombs, and missile defense.
- Aerospace. TLC fabricates stator and rotor assemblies for generators, auxiliary power units, and other avionics systems, including those for aircraft braking and landing applications.
- Energy. Our stamped laminations are key components within solar, wind, and nuclear power generation projects for the energy sector. For compressed air, pumps, and down-hole drilling equipment, we offer lamination stacks.
- Machine Tool. Linear laminations from TLC support X-Y axis equipment manufacturing in the machine tool industry. We also produce laminations and lamstacks for motors within multi-surface grinders with twin turret grinding systems.
