Illinois Manufacturing Industries: The Statistics May Surprise You
Illinois is one of the nation's manufacturing leaders, boasting annual
value added productivity by manufacturing of nearly $103 billion in 2004.
More than 40 percent of Illinois' approximately 16,400 manufacturing plants
located in Cook County (Chicago metropolitan area).
Illinois's top manufacturing industries (see sidebar) rely
heavily on injection molding for the vital plastic parts needed to:
- Measure, test or safely store a chemical
- Assemble a conveyor belt on a
manufacturing machine
- Supply a dairy with packaging for their food products; or
- Keep a 747 safely flying
And every
one of those parts, packages and components required an injection mold.
Let BMJ be your plastic injection mold company. Our premium extended warranty program
will give you peace-of-mind because the molds designed and built by BMJ are guaranteed to retain
their integrity throughout a specific number of cycles.
Plastic Injection Mold Company for the Illinois Automotive Industry
BMJ Mold and Engineering has been serving the automotive industry since
our very beginning, nearly 40 years ago. As a result, we are well versed and
experienced with PPAP, the production part approval process, and the
intricacies and requirements involved.
Illinois is home
to 28 auto manufacturing-related facilities, 79 body and trailer manufacturers and
397 auto parts providers. In fact, about 30% of the state’s manufacturing
activity is related to motor vehicle production.
The three major car assembly plants in Illinois made over 882,000 vehicles –
one-fifth of U.S. output, and second only to Michigan. Central Illinois alone supports six Honda
facilities; in Columbus, Anna, East Liberty, Marysville, and a
research-and-development complex near a small town called Raymond.
Injection molded plastic parts are used extensively throughout automobile construction, from the interior and exterior, to the fuel and under-hood systems.
- High volume, economical
stack molds produce thousands of parts quickly, such
as radio knobs or buttons, lenses and seals
- Two-shot molds
produce plastic parts with permanent colored logos or text in a
single molding process, including instrument dials, back-plates and gas
caps
- Hot runner molds use 100% virgin materials to
create parts with a
"high polish" cosmetic finish for visible decorative components like
speaker grilles or dashboard assemblies

parts for Illinois's motor vehicle industry, read

Injection Mold Company for Illinois's Machinery Manufacturing Industry
With few exceptions, machinery manufacturers do not make headlines the
way steel or motor vehicle producers do. Manufacturers in the machinery
industry make the machines and equipment used
in making almost everything else.
Virtually every machinery company uses injection molded plastic parts
as part of the building process, as either internal components like gears or
hose connectors; or as external switches, knobs or buttons.
2,075 machinery industry establishments in Illinois employ 84,400
people. Based on the latest U.S. Gross State Product (GSP) figures:
- Illinois ranks fourth in the nation in machinery production revenue
- Illinois led the nation in the production of other general purpose
machinery
- Second nationally in metalworking machinery
45 companies on Fortune’s U.S. 1,000 or Global 500
lists have machinery industry plants in Illinois. According to the 2002 Economic
Census, as judged by value-added, Illinois ranks first in the
nation in five machinery industries:
- Food products
- Industrial and commercial fans and blowers
- Metal forming machine tools
- Rolling mill machinery, and
- Welding and soldering equipment
BMJ's mold building technologies include high speed
CNC milling and
EDM machining to
create 3-D geometry in hardened steel and other metals like brass, copper and aluminum.
Many machinery manufacturers utilize our services for prototype development,
or to create one-off metal parts for custom-made machines.
