PFORZHEIM, Germany - AMI DODUCO announced that it is expanding its plastic injection mold tool development capabilities to serve global manufacturing customers from its facility in Dorog, Hungary. The facility, established in 2000 to support AMI DODUCO's own production of plastic housings for component subassemblies, has been expanded to serve other manufacturers of automotive and telecommunications components, such as antilock braking system (ABS) sensors and mobile phone power supplies. Several major global automotive and telecommunications suppliers build these components systems in Hungary.
"Increasing our worldwide component subassembly business continues to be a key strategy at AMI DODUCO," said President Albert Thorp, III. "Outsourcing the production of these parts to us can significantly reduce a customer's time-to-market and help ensure end-to-end quality, by virtue of AMI DODUCO's uniquely comprehensive engineering and production capabilities. One way to showcase these competencies is to offer tool design and development. Our objective is to increase orders for the development and production of the systems themselves, from customers in Europe and beyond."
