Myotek are a US-based supplier of innovative LED vehicle lighting, including cleverly-designed DRLs, high-power spot lights, and multifunction fog lamps giving unusually high performance, for the world’s automakers. Now they’re expanding their U.S. manufacturing capacity in response to customer demand and to further their ongoing efforts toward optimal vertical integration.
Last year, Myotek began investing substantial money and effort to add over 20,000 m2 (220,000 square feet) of manufacturing space near vehicle assembly hubs in the U.S. states of Michigan, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. CEO Eric Showalter says they’re working quickly to broaden and bolster their supply chain with “a combination of in-sourcing and on-shoring strategies, both in response to growing demand for our products and to allow us to adapt quickly to changing trade policies and market conditions“, adding that “In addition to expanding our U.S.-based assembly capabilities, we have made significant investment in expanding our engineering division and test laboratory with advanced simulation tools and metrology equipment. We are especially proud of our ability to manufacture our own printed circuit board assemblies in-house”.
Currently, Myotek’s U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities include custom injection moulding for both small- and high-volume part runs; automotive lighting assembly; custom module assembly; automated UV and thermal cure paint coating; in-line moulding and metallising; sputter coating metallisation; insert moulding; ultrasonic welding; foil stamping and electronics manufacturing.
As described in a DVN Report, Myotek also make lamps at facilities in Taiwan and
China when doing so makes sense for customer service and cost considerations.
