HOWELL, Mich., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MWW Automotive Group (OTCQB: MWWC), a global design, engineering, and manufacturing firm, serving the world's leading automotive and industrial manufacturers, announced today a major agreement with G.S.I. G.S.I. has selected MWW as its North American Finishing Supplier for their industrial product offerings in North America with multiple year painting and fulfillment programs for Industrial and Agricultural Equipment components.
G.S.I. is a global Tier One supplier of complete turnkey products and systems for the global automotive and industrial markets, based in Chicago. G.S.I. primary markets include agricultural, construction, automotive and electrical equipment and machinery. Major clientsinclude, among others, AGCO, Argo Tractors, Carraro, Case New Holland, Caterpillar, Class, Massey Ferguson and Shanghai New Holland.
Over a period of nearly two years, GSI's technical teams have successfully conducted due diligence and certifications of the MWW production facility and capacity and both companies have finalized implementing the required logistics structures to commence with production. Based on the expected demand on its production capacity, MWW has expanded its production facilities in several areas, including the installation of additional advanced paint systems, an oversized paint booth and bake oven. MWW will be running a separate shift exclusively devoted to GSI to accommodate the component size and increasing volume demands. Shipping containers with raw product will arrive at MWW on a monthly basis, to be prepped, painted, quality controlled and distributed from MWW directly into GSI's North American network.
"We are extremely pleased to have been selected by GSI as their North American supplier," states Chuck Pinkerton, CEO of MWWAutomotive. We have been working intensively with GSI for nearly two years to certify our production facilities and logistics capabilities beyond our existing ISO certification to the standards of GSI's partners and clients such as Case, Caterpillar and New Holland, to name a few. Since we now have passed all GSI certifications and received approval of our production facilities and processes, we are ready to begin production for GSI's large projects of oversized industrial components. We have established a segregated second production line to produce exclusively for GSI. We very much appreciate that GSI recognizes our high-quality production capabilities and trusts us with the production of such large components and crucial projects."
Roman M. Kuropas, President of G.S.I. North America states: "We have been working intensively with Chuck Pinkerton, MWW's CEO and his manufacturing and management team, conducting thorough due diligence of the Company's production facilities, quality control and logistics processes. Based on their longstanding track record of high-quality production for several major global automobile manufacturers and the company's advanced logistics capabilities, we are extremely pleased to enter into this relationship. We are looking forward to a close and long term relationship that will be beneficial and profitable for both sides for a long time to come."
