What The Intec Group Inc does

The Intec Group Inc is a privately held Tier One automotive supplier founded in 1953 (originally as Permonite Manufacturing Company in Morocco, Indiana) and headquartered in Palatine, Illinois. The company specializes in precision insert molding and injection molding, serving major automotive OEMs (Ford, General Motors) and Tier One suppliers (Delphi, Sensata) with a product portfolio spanning body electrical components (switches, sensors, control modules), engine electronics, fuel systems (pump modules, valves, injection components), door systems (latches, regulators, modules), and motor components (rotors, stators, housings). Technical capabilities include ultrasonic wire bonding, microelectronic packaging, leadframe design and development, in-line miniature insert molding, sonic/spin welding, soldering, potting, and leak testing, supported by an on-site tool room with CAD/CAM/CNC equipment and a scientific method-based injection molding approach with end-of-line testing.

Intec operates a globally distributed manufacturing footprint across the United States (Palatine, IL and Morocco, IN), Mexico (Guaymas, Sonora — the largest facility at 525 employees and 61 presses across 7,000 square meters), and China (Tianjin, Shanghai, Changzhou). It held Singapore operations until divesting to Sanwa Plastics in 2022. The company maintains QS9000, ISO 9001, and IATF 16949 certifications and has been recognized with the 2004 Delphi Certificate of Excellence Award, a 2006 Top 25 MBE designation, and 2007 Sensata Supplier of the Year awards for both North America and Asia.

The business model is a direct B2B enterprise field sales motion with quote-based pricing negotiated through individual customer contracts and purchase orders on net-60-day terms. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of precision components and assemblies, supplemented by engineering and design services spanning concurrent engineering, CAD/CAE/CAM, rapid prototyping, and VA/VE cost-reduction programs. Intec has expanded through a combination of greenfield capacity (Asia and Mexico, 1995-2008), acquisitions (Cardinal Tool 1983, New Metrics 1993), and the formation of AI Technologies (2002) as a certified minority business enterprise serving Tier One supplier diversity programs.
