Velocity Group, an Ohio-based contract manufacturer specializing in high-mix, low- to mid-volume assembly, injection molding, and tooling for electronic and electro-mechanical products, is opening a new 80,000-sq.-ft. plant that will triple its production capacity and support larger, more complex and higher-precision components and assemblies, including those needed to run data center power, cooling, and networking systems.
With the advantage of an onshore location that eliminates the potential complications of using offshore suppliers, the new plant will consolidate Velocity's three previous facilities under one roof, add more than 25,000 sq. ft. of production space, and include new machinery capable of producing and assembling increasingly demanding industrial, electronics, and medical applications.
Key new capabilities include:
- Advanced insert molding and overmolding with a new vertical double-station injection molding press, enabling production of complex components that combine plastic with metal inserts, electrical contacts, magnets, and other embedded parts
- Expanded large-part molding and consolidation of multiple parts into a single molded piece with a new horizontal injection molding press, reducing assembly time and improving product performance
- Strengthened precision machining services for small, tight-tolerance components with a new Swiss CNC lathe, supporting high-performance applications such as connectors, shafts, fittings, and medical device parts
- Injection molding in an FDA Class 7 clean room for medical device manufacturing, providing critical contamination control and time-saving benefits by eliminating the need for a separate sterilization process
- More than doubling of sub-assembly and assembly capacity to support larger, more sophisticated electromechanical assemblies and automation projects, including products comprising several hundred individual components.
In addition, integrating every stage of production into a single location will reduce supply chain complexity for customers, accelerate product development and speed to market, facilitate collaboration, reduce material handling, strengthen quality control, and advance Velocity's lean manufacturing, ISO-13485, and ISO-9001 initiatives.
The company's services also include design-for-manufacturing, from component assembly to tool design, injection molding, rapid iteration, and product optimization for manufacturability. This full range of capabilities helps OEMs move from concept to production with fewer handoffs, less risk, and faster timelines.
"Manufacturers are increasingly looking for domestic suppliers that can move quickly, scale production, and provide a broad range of capabilities under one roof," said Kent Savage, founder and Executive Chairman of Velocity Group. "Our new plant meets all of these needs in critical industry sectors where surging demand and aggressive delivery timelines require close collaboration and domestic partners with the expertise, technology, proximity, and capacity to support increasingly sophisticated componentry needs."
The new Velocity Group plant is located in Cambridge, OH, between Columbus and Pittsburgh.
