How Ace Wire & Spring Powers High-Performance Innovation from the Ground Up

When Pro-Action Suspension Inc. introduced a new product line in 2013, the company needed a spring supplier that could meet specific engineering and production requirements. That same year, founder and president George Quay began working with Ace Wire Spring & Form Co., Inc., a Pittsburgh-based manufacturer with decades of experience in custom spring and wire form production.

“In 2013, we developed and presented our line of replacement street series shocks for Harley-Davidson Touring Bikes and 3-Wheelers,” George said. “Since ’13, we have been using Ace Wire Spring for all our spring requirements for the Harley division.”

Ace Wire Spring & Form, founded in 1939, has a long history of serving specialized manufacturers across industries like aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and motorsports. The company works with clients at every stage of production—from prototype development to full-scale manufacturing.

“We have been a manufacturer of motorcycle racing suspension since 1977,” George said, emphasizing the need for components that consistently perform under demanding conditions.

For companies like Pro-Action Suspension, having a partner that can meet precise specifications and deliver on schedule is critical to product performance and business continuity.
