Rectangular Callout: Lil’ Stampie says, “Start spreading the News!” Text Box: HORIZON 160 Windsor Drive - East Dundee, IL 60118 www.horizondie.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 28, 2008 Contact: Karen Maurstad kmaurstad@horizondie.com Climate Change Heats Up Innovation Compact Turnkey Solutions from Horizon East Dundee, IL - The U.S. industrial manufacturing industry faces a fluctuating climate of demanding challenges. Global competition, cyclical demand, progressively complex technological expectations, and material costs have compelled manufacturers to look for new strategies in the development and design of dynamic and unique system solutions. Recognizing the increased need for automated manufacturing systems, Horizon Die Company, Inc. now designs and manufactures compact automated turnkey production systems utilizing the latest technology. The systems integrate “pick & place” automation, assembly, sophisticated controls and pneumatics with conventional punch press stamping. The entire operation is contained in one miniaturized turnkey system. Traditionally, each process has been performed by several operators on individual equipment. The integrated unit requires less labor and training, and reduces fallout. Additional benefits include improved capacity, precision, and consistency. Due to the compact footprint, the turnkey system is easily repeatable and can be rapidly assembled to transport to any location. Often a business will struggle to synchronize the launch of a new product with its component suppliers. The holistic approach of the Horizon turnkey system puts the timetable back in the hands of the project coordinator. By eliminating the inconvenience of complicated communication, constant troubleshooting, shipping, and quality control issues involved with outsourcing, the turnkey system provides a business with an enormous advantage over its competitors. According to Peter Badovinac, VP of Horizon, “All that is needed is a road map from the customer. Our design team takes the concept and creates the vision. We offer dynamic, quality, and original solutions for our evolving industry.” About Horizon: Horizon Die Company, Inc., founded in 1987, is a leading manufacturer of progressive dies and complex metal stampings supplying high volume solutions to the automotive, computer, electronics, telecom, health care, and consumer products industries.
