💴 This Week in Manufacturing

Customization sounds like a luxury. But a talented manufacturing organization, like our feature company, makes it seem like second nature. When those components are safety-critical and door security, precision matters. This week we’re exploring the benefits of customization across manufacturing and the challenges ahead.

Mursix Corporation may be family-owned, but that doesn’t mean they’re small-time. Their custom components already support the automotive, medical device, and security industries and now they’ve introduced AI.

This week’s headlines highlight customization options for drones, additive manufacturing, and even solar energy. Once the mold is set opportunities are endless!

Like our profile company, our top podcast from Augmented Ops is diving into AI’s potential for manufacturing KPIs and how to take an idea from prototype to production.

This week’s podcast episode from The Manufacturing Executive dives into the intersection of servant leadership and lean manufacturing practices.

Finally, our Fun Fact shows that automation will be side-by-side with customization in creating products and jobs alike!

Thanks for joining us!

INDUSTRIAL & EQUIPMENT

♨️ Mursix

Located in the American heartland, this family-owned company collaborates with customers in designing, engineering, and producing customized parts for automotive, medical, energy, and industrial suppliers.

Mursix was started in 1990, but the company’s history goes back to 1945 when the company was Twoson and Tool. Most of the company’s business, approximately 75%, is in manufacturing safety-critical automobile components, such as brake components and seatbelt locks.

Innovation and continued expansion are the foundation of Mursix’s success. The company has completed two acquisitions over the last eight years and expects to see year-over-year double-digit growth over the next five years.

Upshot: “I really feel we have identified a very plausible affordable solution for small to mid-size manufacturers to help them deal with a lack of skills.”
