Automotive program budget allowed for the purchase of 2.5 million USD in capital equipment with a coordinated launch delivery installation date for each group of production part numbers.

I worked with the CEO of Motor City Plastics, and a local bank to obtain a line of credit line for this project. Purchased 5) 500 ton Engel Rotary Two Shot Injection Molding Machines with production and support equipment. The building required full power and cooling system upgrades to support the new work cells. Attended buy/testing of all capital equipment.

The monthly combined part production volumes were 1.5 million units. 30 high cavity two shot molds were built in Europe with a value of 4.8 million USD.
