Complete Control with In-House Automation

Supported by our in-house capabilities and expertise in post-molding, value-added technologies, Sussex IM has complete control over the products we create, with no need to outsource any part of the manufacturing and engineering processes.

By designing and building our automation in-house, we have complete control, from what the equipment does to how it operates.  When there is a new system to install, our in-house engineering team has the expertise to go beyond just developing it. Utilizing expertise to monitoring the automation, our team constantly evaluates for possible opportunities for improvement.  We are committed to implement enhancements until the system operates at peak performance.

One of the most considerable advantages of our in-house manufacturing engineering team is speed. When a problem arises, our in-house techs and quickly resolve any manufacturing issues which improves equipment uptime.  There is no need to contact a third party, shut the line down, and wait for repairs. Our team is there, on call, always.
