Stoba – Automotive Parts Manufacturing Facility

As a partner to the automotive industry, Stoba is a leader in the production of complex machined components for high-pressure injection systems.  Stoba is known for innovative mass-production processes which meet the highest requirements in quality and efficiency.  These quality products are used in most of the worlds motor vehicles.

When Stoba decided to expand their German operations to the United States, they partnered with LOC to establish a state-of-the-art precision machining facility for the production of the latest technology in gasoline direct injection fuel systems.

LOC worked closely with Stoba from site selection through commissioning of production equipment.  LOC designed all civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire alarm/protection, and security improvements necessary to turn an existing warehouse/office space into a cutting-edge precision machining facility.
