IATF 16949 injection molding and machining with PPAP and APQP for industrial and automotive programs
High-volume scientific molding, in-house tooling, precision machining and assembly under an IATF 16949 certified quality system, with decades of experience on demanding industrial and automotive parts.
UTP Solutions is an IATF 16949 certified U.S. manufacturer of injection molded and machined components for industrial and select automotive programs, with APQP, PPAP and VDA requirements built into its process. With manufacturing roots in Michigan dating to 1974, UTP runs scientific (decoupled) molding on 16 presses from 22T to 950T, for programs from about 100 parts a year to multi-million annual volumes, and builds and maintains tools in-house for presses from 20T to 1000T. Swiss and 5-axis machining, part design, assembly and inventory programs round out a single-source supply, delivered more than 99% on time and in full with fewer than 100 PPM defects over a rolling 24 months.
