Taylor Spring is a family owned and operated spring manufacturing company in Chicago with a history stretching back nearly 70 years.

We’re your partner in spring and wire form manufacturing, with unmatched flexibility in the industry. Why? Because we utilize unparalleled work ethic and harness our capabilities to the maximum—all while providing the absolute highest quality products.

Check out our historical timeline below.

1949

Taylor Spring was founded in 1949. Focusing on Air-wound inductor coils, Taylor Spring was a major supplier to the television set industry. Early Television tuners required a large number of inductor coils. Taylor Spring developed and patented a technique for stripping insulation off of the copper wire in-line during the production process allowing these parts to be mass-produced cheaply in large quantities.

1967

In 1967 the original founders retired and the company was continued by its new owners Henry Tyrakowski (brother of one of the founders), Alex Tiffy and William Manderfeld. Taylor Spring continued its tradition of excellence and supplied inductor coils to the television tuner market as well as the emerging cable television industry as these inductors would be used as filters and traps that allowed the cable companies to selectively allow only the stations that the customer paid for to be delivered to their home.

1988

In 1988, Henry’s partners retired and he became the sole shareholder and over the next decade the next generation started becoming part of the business with John Tyrakowski becoming President and Steve Tyrakowski handling the administration and financial side of the business.

2000

Around 2000, with signs that the copper coil business would be shrinking with the changes from Analog to digital in the cable and television industries, Taylor Spring acquired J&J Spring from its retiring owner. This small step started a new direction to begin diversification into the steel spring industry.

2002

In 2002, Taylor Spring explored further diversification by merging with its primary wire supplier, Fay Electric Wire. After several years as a combined entity, in November 2007, the principals from the Fay Electric Wire business spun off the wire business as a separate company again. Both companies emerged stronger than when they merged in 2002.

2014

After operating out of two buildings for many years, the time had come to consolidate into one more efficient location allowing us the required space to scale up. This reduced our operating costs and helped increase efficiencies across our facility.

2017

As the family generations continue to evolve, John Tyrakowski, son of Henry Tyrakowski, becomes sole proprietor and buys out other share holders—now holding 100% of the spring manufacturing company that he and generations before him worked to cultivate.
