Visitors to assembly plants are often overwhelmed by the size of a facility, or the quickness of a process, or the large number of the same type of machine in one or more areas. At Automation Plastics Corp.’s (APC) assembly plant in Aurora, OH, guests are always impressed when they see the many rows of horizontal injection presses that fill the 50,000-square-foot facility.
Workers there operate a total of 33 presses to complete a wide range of injection-molding, part-design, prototyping, machining and assembly projects. Although small, APC has a large customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies in the medical, aerospace, construction and consumer products industries.
