Ohio Manufacturing Industries: The Statistics May Surprise You

Ohio's top manufacturing industries (see sidebar) rely heavily on injection molding for the vital plastic parts needed to:

  • Turn on a car's radio
  • Measure, test or safely store a chemical
  • Add a conveyor belt to a dairy's packaging machine; or
  • Supply the dairy with the package for their product.

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 Ohio Motor Vehicle 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.

While most people think of Detroit as "Motor City," Ohio 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 Ohio plants assembling cars made over 882,000 vehicles – one-fifth of U.S. output, and second only to Michigan. Central Ohio 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

Injection Mold Company for Ohio'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 Ohio employ 84,400 people. Based on the latest U.S. Gross State Product (GSP) figures:

  • Ohio ranks fourth in the nation in machinery production revenue
  • Ohio 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 Ohio. According to the 2002 Economic Census, as judged by value-added, Ohio 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.
