Our 30+ years of experience in the automotive industry is priceless.

We understand sensitive timelines, exacting quality, and ambitious uptime requirements. Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing and inventory creates complex demands – demands we meet day in and day out.

We understand your need for ROI and total cost of ownership solutions that fit into the big picture for your business. We only recommend solutions that provide high availability and take OEE into account.

We understand your factory floor and what you need from your ERP system – where everything is built to broadcast and your entire supply chain may be built to order. You need state-of-the-art technology, and we know how to deliver.

Material Processing & Lightweighting Specialists

OEM’s are trending towards lightweighting, experimenting with new materials and technologies. Our material process experts are hands-on: designing, testing, and improving the processing of new materials and composite solutions.


Vehicle light weighting has shifted from using thinner or alternate metals to using composites and other “exotic” materials. How should you go about exploring the application of these materials and the new processes they require?

Find our more in our whitepaper on springboarding from lightweighting to electrification.
