Industries - Automotive

Working with automotive suppliers around the world, SMPI produces parts that require multiple manufacturing processes, from tool and die making to metal fabrication and stamping. We understand the pressure faced by automotive suppliers to reduce costs yet maintain strict quality and reliability standards. Our engineering expertise, continuous process improvement and numerous manufacturing processes help us meet these low-cost initiatives while providing the highest quality tool and die products, metal parts and assemblies.
SMPI has served automotive suppliers for many years. We offer innovative prototyping and reverse engineering services, and we produce precision parts and complex assemblies for automotive components in areas such as:
- Chassis
- Engine
- Transmission
- Interior Trim

Example Projects
![]() We built a progressive stamping die complete with in-die pin insertion to efficiently make these electrical contacts. Learn More >> |
![]() Pre-production prototypes were needed for this brass contact. We used our wire EDM capabilities to cut a stack of flat blank parts and then built soft tooling to form the bends. Learn More >> |
![]() Pre-production prototypes were needed to prove out process on this steel cup. We used our wire EDM capabilities to cut a stack of flat blank parts and then built single hit tooling, utilizing our internal prototype die set. Learn More >> |
![]() Here is a variety of pre-production prototypes that were rolled up and/or staked in the tool. These all became tooled up as progressive production dies after testing was completed. Learn More >> |
![]() This progressive stamping tool has an in-die tapping unit to add a threaded hole to the flange of a stamped part before it is formed and hit with cam units. Learn More >> |
![]() One of our Tier 2 automotive supply customers came to us with a part they wanted to run in their stamping department. Learn More >> |
![]() This gage was designed to check attributes and limits on left- and right-hand parts as they were coming off the die. Learn More >> |
![]() Shenzhen Metal Parts designed this fixture to hold a molded plastic interior trim part with a formed aluminum shell on it. Learn More >> |
