With over 150 robots , our Tecumseh plant is empowered to provide automated welding , part handling and adhesive and fastener applications . As part of our automation process , we utilize multiple sensors , cameras , and vision systems to ensure all the components and processes have been successfully completed before the final product is released . This rigorous quality control plays an important part in ensuring customer satisfaction and continued growth . Since 2019 , KIRCHHOFF Automotive has also invested in six new stamping presses in Tecumseh to replace some of our older models , which are now over 36 years old . These new presses , ranging from 450-to-1600 tons , feature advanced transfer , progressive ,
and blanking capabilities . This investment reflects our commitment to developing and improving the technologies used in our manufacturing facilities . Additionally , KIRCHHOFF Automotive has invested in the training of our manufacturing employees to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate these new presses . Part of that investment entailed sending out our employees to KIRCHHOFF Automotive plants in Europe and other locations to share their knowledge and expertise . This sizeable investment is a small price to pay for the future of our business ,” she adds .
