New Capability Enables Mercury Products Corp. Customers to Source Large Ton Stampings and Assemblies

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Nov. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- The acquisition of a new 1,000-ton stamping press fulfills customer demand for larger stampings required for many automotive, heavy truck, off-highway, and other industrial equipment manufacturing needs. This new capability also allows customers to consolidate any of their metal fabrication and value stream needs with a single supplier, increasing overall cost-savings and improving order efficiency.

Located in the company’s Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, facility, Mercury Products customers can now consolidate multiple parts orders that were previously placed with several suppliers. The new large-ton and bed stamping press compliments existing capabilities including metal stamping and fabrications, tube assemblies, welding, polishing and buffing, and everything in-between.

“Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) want to work with Tier One suppliers that can provide a full range of capabilities,” said Keith Briggs, Mercury Products vice president of operations. “Not only are we better equipped to fill those needs with the 1,000-ton press, but we also understand the OEMs quality expectations in product fulfillment and business procedures.”

“Our company is continually adding capabilities and expertise in order to fulfill our mission to provide exceptional quality to our customers. Bolstering Mercury’s manufacturing capacity in our Mexico facility benefits customers by providing low-cost alternatives that are closer-to-home,” said Eric Schwochow, Mercury Products vice president of sales. “This new press is just another example of our commitment to delivering world-class solutions for our clients.”
