Hirotec America, part of the global Hirotec Group, provides weld assembly equipment for automakers including GM, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, Toyota, and BMW. The company strives to be a lights-out manufacturer by 2025, using automation almost everywhere within its facility and placing spare-parts operators into high-value positions that require complex problem-solving or attention to detail that cannot be paralleled by machines.
