Michigan Manufacturing Industries: The Statistics May Surprise You
Not surprisingly, the Motor Vehicle industry is by far the largest
manufacturing sector in Michigan, accounting for $31.9 Billion of the total
Gross State Product (GSP) in 2005. Related industries, such as fabricated
metals and machinery, ranked far behind in 2nd and 3rd place, with combined
revenues of just $12.3 B.
Michigan's top manufacturing industries (see sidebar) rely
heavily on injection molding for the vital plastic parts needed to:
- Control a automobile ventilation system
- Measure, test or safely store a chemical
- Assemble a conveyor belt on a
manufacturing machine, or
- Supply a dairy with packaging for their food products
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 Michigan 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.
Michigan is home
to 34 auto manufacturing-related facilities, 73 body and trailer manufacturers and
868 auto parts providers. In fact, almost 50% of the state’s manufacturing
activity is related to motor vehicle production.
Including Detroit, 13 auto assembly plants operate in Flint, Dearborn,
Lansing, Flat Rocks and Sterling Heights. Motor vehicle manufacturers in Michigan produced 2,687,547
new vehicles in 2006, employing more than 1,000,000 people throughout
the industry.
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 Michigan's motor vehicle industry, read

Injection Mold Company for Michigan'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.
More than 2,600 machinery manufacturers reside in Michigan,
producing everything from agriculture, construction, and mining machinery to ventilation, heating, air
conditioning, and commercial refrigeration equipment. Machinery manufacturers employ
close to 90,000
people.
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.

Plastic Injection Mold Company for Michigan's Food & Beverage Industry
885 food manufacturers operate throughout the state. Michigan's food and beverage manufacturing industry shipped
more than $10 billion worth
of products, according to the 2002 U.S. Economic Census Report.

and Post in Battle Creek. Coincidently, or not, 48 dairy product
manufacturers generated nearly $3 B in revenue.

craftsmen to complete any mold project to the strict specifications and
requirements of food packaging manufacturers
