OVERDRIVE -- Advanced Manufacturing in Amish Country
SUGARCREEK, Ohio, Oct. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Overdrive in Amish country? It seems counter intuitive to horse-drawn buggies and life without modern day amenities, which characterize Amish country in the Little Switzerland of Ohio.
Nestled in its nostalgic midst, SUPERB Industries puts manufacturing traction behind the word overdrive as an advanced high-speed manufacturer. Named among the top 100 fastest growing U.S. manufacturers, by Inc. Magazine, SUPERB and its global partners are driving the advanced manufacturing of engineered components to new levels of quality and productivity.
Connecting Automotive Safety
An Automotive Tier One, with a global footprint in automotive vision systems, selected SUPERB to produce its safety critical engineered connectors. The SUPERB solution provides a classic example of manufacturing on overdrive producing 15,000 connectors per minute in continuous flow to six sigma quality standards. It combines speed with material savings in a near net shape process to seamlessly produces value without compromising safety on over two billion components per year.
Old Fashioned Ethics
These technological advances are an outcome of an entrenched culture not a technical phenomenon. Swiss and German immigrants arrived in Sugarcreek the 1800s bringing with them metal working, clock making and carving skills and a work ethic committed to superior craftsmanship to the minutest of detail. SUPERB Industries leverages these ethics with a commitment to preserving them for the next generation at SUPERB Technical Institute.
Quality Systems on Overdrive
SUPERB subjects its commitment to excellence to the rigors of international quality standards. SUPERB maintains ISO9000 and TS16949 certification and it is an FDA registered medical device manufacturer. Just recently SUPERB successfully completed an audit to the new IATF 16949 standard, which added 106 new requirements. This puts SUPERB among the first U.S. companies to have successfully achieved this milestone.
Providing Value Globally
SUPERB's mission to "make the world a better place one engineered component at a time" requires a global footprint. SUPERB has formed strategic alliances with the Unimet Group, Bihler of America and by extension Bihler Germany. The group brings together a coalition of over 1,000 technical specialists and manufacturing automation that produces billions of engineered components each year.
So while horses and buggies clip clopping down the streets of the Little Switzerland in Sugarcreek may be reminiscent of the past, the future is being paved by SUPERB that has kicked advanced manufacturing into overdrive to deliver value to its global customers.
