Core-Tech Group

Complex parts. Critical programs. One partner.

Core-Tech combines flexible manufacturing, advanced steel, and hands-on industrial support — so difficult programs move forward with one accountable team.

Built for the programs other suppliers turn away

In North America, Part Production leads — difficult transfers, service parts, low-volume requirements, and inherited programs other suppliers won’t take on. Flash Steel is available as a secondary capability, and our consulting team supports manufacturing transfers, recovery, and ramp-up.

North American presence since 2000

Core-Tech Inc. has run production and tooling programs out of the Detroit area for more than two decades.

Three connected business areas

Part Production, Flash Steel, and Consulting & Services work together on the same programs — not as separate vendors.

One face to the customer

A single commercial and technical contact carries a program from RFQ through production and aftermarket support.

Europe and North America network

Production capacity and consulting reach across both regions, coordinated as one group.

Core-Tech Group

Three business areas. One accountable partner.

Part Production, Flash Steel, and Consulting & Services aren't separate vendors you coordinate yourself — they work together on the same programs.

Where We Operate

Two regions, different priorities

Core-Tech isn't run identically everywhere — each region leads with what it does best.

North America

Built for the programs other suppliers turn away

In North America, Part Production leads — difficult transfers, service parts, low-volume requirements, and inherited programs other suppliers won’t take on. Flash Steel is available as a secondary capability, and our consulting team supports manufacturing transfers, recovery, and ramp-up.

Europe

One partner, three capabilities, equal footing

In Europe, Part Production, Flash Steel, and Consulting & Services operate with equal prominence — a full-service industrial partner able to move a program from feasibility through production, steel selection, and operational support.

Production TransferInjection MoldingService Parts

Automotive — Glass Overmolding

Challenge
A Tier-1 supplier needed to exit an aftermarket glass-overmolding program without disrupting supply — 21 molds, an active PPAP history, and an assembly step all had to move to a new home.
Core-Tech's Response
Core-Tech took hand-over of all 21 molds, completed mold repair and process optimization for smaller batch sizes, ran PPAP, and brought the 5-part assembly step in-house alongside packaging and storage.
Result
The program has continued in production at Core-Tech, with roughly 15,000 service parts supplied to date.
Feasibility & DesignInjection MoldingTooling

Medical Technology

Challenge
A medical equipment program needed a manufacturing partner from concept — feasibility, part design, and tooling all still open — for a chair assembly built from multiple molded components.
Core-Tech's Response
Core-Tech ran the feasibility study and manufacturability consulting, developed the plastic parts, and built all injection molding tools and gauges for a total of 12 components.
Result
Approximately 20,000 injection-molded parts produced to date across the 12-part set.
Aluminum & Iron CastingSerial Production

Precision Casting — Commercial Vehicles

Challenge
A commercial-vehicle components program needed a reliable, ongoing supply of cast iron, ductile iron, and aluminum parts — brackets, covers, and rod/bar components — at steady monthly volume.
Core-Tech's Response
Core-Tech Europe manages sourcing, logistics, and stock for the program, coordinating directly with its casting supply chain.
Result
Running production of approximately 500–1,500 units per month across the part family.
RTMLong-Running ProgramTooling

Agriculture — Composites

Challenge
A large agricultural-equipment manufacturer needed a durable composite component supplied consistently over a program life measured in years, not quarters.
Core-Tech's Response
Core-Tech developed and built the RTM tooling and has produced the resin-transfer-molded component in-house ever since.
Result
A 15-year running program, producing approximately 1,000 components.
