Specific examples of their work include aluminum front fenders, door inner and outer panels, hood panels, body side panels, decklids, and deep draw steel rear fenders for various vehicle models. Established in September 2002, the company was the first North American operation of the Amino Corporation of Japan. The St. Thomas site is positioned to supply major manufacturers such as GM, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and Cami Automotive, while also offering opportunities for cooperative projects with local auto part suppliers. The facility features a press line with five state-of-the-art presses, including a 3000-ton fluid forming press and two 800-ton servo mechanical presses used for trimming, piercing, and flanging parts.
