Continental Structural Plastics (CSP), an Auburn Hills-based supplier of composite vehicle components, today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire AMI’s 90,000-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility in Manchester (west of Ann Arbor).

AMI handles a broad range metal stamping projects, as well as providing in-house engineering support, production welded parts, and light assembly. Press sizes at the Manchester facility range from 32 to 600 tons.

AMI Manchester, which has 70 employees, also has a full-service die maintenance department, including a wire electrical discharge machine and sinker electrical discharge machine.

“CSP currently purchases a variety of stamped metal parts necessary to complete the assembly of a number of components,” says Steve Rooney, CEO of CSP. “This acquisition allows us to bring these stamping operations in-house, securing our supply of needed parts, and protecting our ability to provide on-going, uninterrupted shipments to our customer base.”

Under the terms of the agreement, the AMI Manchester facility will be rebranded as CSP Stamping and will operationally become part of CSP, which is wholly owned by Teijin, a Japan based technology company.
