Vehicle body hemming firm expands production
A UK specialist manufacturer of hemming closure systems and equipment for vehicle bodies has opened a 2000ft2 production facility - double the previous factory size, said the company.
The incentive is substantial interest shown in its machines by some of China's top car makers at CIMT, Beijing's major machine tool exhibition.
DV Automation (DVA) has also launched a new online guide in several languages, including Chinese, at its Web site in order to provide a wider range of information on its products and services.
The Web site not only details DVA's extensive engineering expertise but also outlines its hemming closure systems.
These include electro-mechanical and robotic hemming machines, pre-bend and 'marriage' stations, and complete turnkey closure assembly lines.
Based in the UK, DVA, which was acquired last year by friction welding specialist, Thompson, has just won more than GBP 1 million worth of new orders.
These include the supply of a series of electro-mechanical hemming machines to Renault's factory in Sandouville, France, and at Magnetto production facilities in Germany and Brazil.
DVA has also recently supplied a robotic hemming cell to Stadco, the Tier One automotive pressings and components supplier, for joining closure parts at its factory in the Midlands, UK.
"The Far East will be the focus of the next stage in DVA's ongoing sales and marketing campaign which aims to develop more new business in several key regions around the world within the next 2-3 years," commented Mark Schlanker, DV Automation's business manager.
