Jacob Prak, CEO of Michigan Manufacturing International (MMI), Stevensville, Md., announced the completion of a new MMI plant in Hosur, India, joining MMI locations in Mumbai, Coimbatore and Bangalore, India, and Shanghai, Fuyang, Ningbo, Jinan, Shenzhen, Dongguan and Hong Kong, China.
The MMI Hosur facility is primarily an assembly plant that receives its inputs from a highly qualified local supply base, Prak said. "We estimate that approximately 65 percent of our sales in India come from the Hosur location, making this plant very important for us. It is vital to our ability to offer the best and most cost-effective supply options to our customers."
Prak estimates that MMI purchases 10 percent of the company's total volume from South Korea, 10 percent from the Pearl River delta region in China, 50 percent from the Yangtze delta region in China and 30 percent from India.
MMI has filled two key positions in India. Prabhu Rajendran was chosen as the new worldwide quality control manager, focused on implementing and managing quality assurance processes. Jarbo Lu was named the new supply manager for the Shandong province in China.
"These new MMI team members will be instrumental in ensuring that MMI products meet the highest quality control standards," Prak said. "I am very pleased to have them join our growing company."
MMI supplies manufactured-to-print assemblies and components to original equipment manufacturers. Its products include assemblies, castings, stampings, machined parts, gears and bearings.
