Fierce competition among automotive metalforming companies requires a good strategy, innovation and an eye on the future. Business management at all levels of the automotive supply chain balance capital investment in manufacturing technology with income from secure contracts, while positioning for future opportunities. The flexibility to handle variety and the ability to provide value-added services are keys to positioning for new business, and can result in differentiation from supplying commodity stamped parts for more profitable enterprises. A good example of this philosophy: LSP Automotive Systems LLC, which recently constructed a new sheetmetal-stamping facility in Union, SC, to supply BMW with body parts for automobiles manufactured in Greer, SC. The 200,000-sq.-ft. LSP facility will eventually employ 75-100 people when it reaches full pro-duction in 2008, and should employ 130 when it reaches its five-year goal.
