Detroit Manufacturing Systems in Detroit has finalized its acquisitions of Android Industries in Auburn Hills and Warren-based Avancez to form a new entity — Voltava — that will be headquartered in Auburn Hills.
Voltava is wholly owned by Bruce Smith, who will serve as chairman and CEO of the new organization.
“Today marks a transformational step in our journey as we officially launch Voltava,” says Smith. “By uniting our complementary strengths, operational scale, and financial capacity, we are establishing a new leader in the global manufacturing and assembly space focused on delivering long-term value, quality, innovation and exceptional service to our customers worldwide.”
With the acquisition complete, Voltava forms a premier global manufacturing and assembly partner serving a diverse array of industries including automotive, industrial, e-mobility, micromobility, heavy truck, government, tooling and equipment design, and manufacturing.
With approximately 5,400 employees operating across 21 global locations, including 19 in North America, one in South America, and one in Europe, Voltava supports customers and OEM partners across all major markets. Company officials say they are focused on delivering scalable, high-quality solutions across a growing portfolio of global partners.
“We will continue building upon the founding values and principles of our legacy companies,” says Smith. “The Voltava brand is a true representation of our unique and passionately people-focused culture. We have created something special — fostering an environment of collaboration, social responsibility, respect, diversity, accountability and excellence.”
