Parma opened in 1948 and its metal centre processes 800 tons of steel per day and services or supports the majority of the automaker’s North America produced vehicles.

Parma has 750 dies and is capable of producing up to 100m parts per year.

Manufacturing processes include small, medium and large transfer press lines, high speed progressive presses and a cut to length shear, as well as the company’s largest standalone, multi cell, resistance and laser welding metal assembly operations.

Parma employs 1,000 people.
