History

Where we came from

As technologies have advanced, so have we. We started in the early 20th century stamping metal components when stamped metal was the best way to build things. As the cost and design advantages of composites began to shine, we shifted our business to precision injection molding. We also adopted systems thinking as it allowed us to solve more problems and create more value for our customers. We led the market in integrating mechanical, electronic and software elements into solutions that met 21st century demands for products that anticipate the needs of the people who use them.
