Creform Corporation has announced the 70th anniversary of its parent company.
In 1953, Japanese engineers at YAZAKI Kako Corporation recognized the need for flexible production and developed a material handling system under the name CREFORM.
"Within a short time, this modular system became a bestseller in Japan and the U.S.," said a company spokesperson. "Well-known companies such as Toyota, Ford and Chrysler switched their production to the patented tube pipe and joint system as part of the continuous improvement process. With this new system, it was finally possible to customize and produce according to demand."
The success story continued in 1985 with the expansion of the product range to include automated guided vehicles (AGVs). AGVs are effective tools for optimizing material transport efficiently, flexibly and cost-effectively.
Due to high demand from the European market, CREFORM Technik GmbH Germany was founded in 1999. In 2003, Textube acquired Creform LogisTech, Wixom, MI, and renamed it Creform Corporation.
Today, the Creform Corporation Greer, SC, campus contains corporate offices, a technical center, state-of-the-art tube mills, plastic component manufacturing, warehouse, assembly facility, training center and sales offices. The Novi, MI, and Georgetown, KY, facilities house technical support, assembly, a training center and sales offices. Creform also has regional sales offices in California, North Carolina, Texas and Mexico.
