A Brief History of Samax Precision

Samax Precision, Inc. (formerly Samax Tool and Die), was founded by Sam Costanzo, a World War II veteran who learned his love of machining serving on the USS New Mexico as a Machinist Mate. Following his honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy, Sam started as an apprentice at American Can Company, where he worked for the next 20 years. When he decided to start his own business in 1963, he rented a small space in his brother-in-law’s shop in Sunnyvale, California. His first customer was his former employer, American Can.

After three years, Sam bought property on Evelyn Avenue in Sunnyvale and built a facility for his manufacturing operation. At first, he leased out much of the building to other businesses, but by the early 1980s Samax Tool and Die had expanded to take up the whole facility.

In the early years, Sam’s customer base was primarily the canning industry, for which he manufactured seaming rolls using manual lathes, mills, and grinders. But eventually he branched out, purchasing NC machines, then CNC machines, to serve the medical, aerospace, defense, and other industries becoming Samax Precision Inc.

Since Sam passed away in 1996, his family has carried on his legacy, marking the 61th anniversary of Samax Precision, Inc., in 2024.

Responsible Mineral Sourcing Policy

This policy applies to the selection and retention of all Samax precision Inc. suppliers, subcontractors and sub-suppliers that provide materials containing tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold.As a socially responsible company, Samax precision Inc. has concern for the well-being of people and communities.

Samax precision Inc. is committed to sourcing components and materials from companies that share our values regarding respect for human rights, integrity, and environmental responsibility.

We expect all of our suppliers to abide by the requirements of our Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which prohibits human rights abuses and unethical practices. We also require all suppliers to comply with applicable legal standards and requirements.

Responsible minerals sourcing (CMRT) is Samax precision Inc.’s commitment to working toward avoiding the use of minerals from conflict affected and high-risk Areas. Specifically, it is about the materials tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold from the conflict region of the Democratic Republic Congo and its surrounding countries (DRC region). Samax precision Inc. expects its suppliers to take every effort to avoid minerals that are not found to be sourced responsibly.

To ensure transparency within our supply chain, Samax precision Inc. expects its suppliers to use the standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) and the Extended Minerals Reporting (EMRT) of the «Responsible Minerals Initiative» (RMI, former Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative). Any supplier’s continuing failure to comply with this policy will likely lead to the termination of our business relationship with that supplier.

Samax precision Inc. supports the goal of this rule to end violence, human rights violations, and environmental devastation in the covered Countries. We are committed to complying with all requirements applicable to our company under the Conflict Minerals Rule.

Samax precision Inc. will help its suppliers understand and implement their conflict minerals programs and will work cooperatively with customers and supply chain partners in connection with conflict minerals compliance programs.
