Troy Design and Manufacturing

What Troy Design and Manufacturing does

Troy Design & Manufacturing Co. (TDM) is a Tier One automotive supplier and wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Plymouth, Michigan. Founded in the early 1980s as a stamping engineering and sheet metal prototype supplier and acquired by Ford in 1999, the company provides end-to-end engineering and manufacturing services spanning the vehicle development lifecycle from concept through low-volume production. Its capabilities include metal fabrication, metal stamping, tool & die manufacturing, rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, precision machining, mechanical engineering, assembly, die casting, and inspection services, delivered from a 1.25 million square foot footprint across facilities in Plymouth and Woodhaven, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois.

Technically, TDM operates capital-intensive, integrated production infrastructure: a fully automated press line combining 2,500-ton, 1,600-ton, and 1,000-ton presses with seven synchronized industrial robots; three 3,300-watt CO2 5-axis lasers and two 4,000-watt fiber-optic lasers; robotic laser welding using RLSK software across steel, aluminum, brass, and boron; HP Multi Jet Fusion additive manufacturing; giga-cast high-pressure die casting; and an advanced metrology suite including the ATOS ScanBox 8360, gantry CMMs, and four Leica Absolute Trackers. These in-house capabilities support full Body-in-White prototyping and Class A/B surface part production under one roof.

The business model is project-based hardware manufacturing and professional engineering services sold through a direct enterprise sales motion to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, with additional exposure to aerospace, marine, motorsports, specialty products, and defense verticals. Pricing is custom and quote-based via project consultation and request-a-quote channels, with no publicly disclosed standard tiers; engagements are typically structured as multi-year contracts. Named customers include Ford (parent), Rivian, Lucid, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, General Motors, Shelby American, Gestamp, and Oshkosh Corporation. Reported revenues have grown to over $750M since 2019 under President Todd Jaranowski.
