SUPERB Industries

What SUPERB Industries does

SUPERB Industries, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned precision manufacturer founded in 1986 by brothers John and Daniel Miller and headquartered in Sugarcreek, Ohio. The company produces high-volume engineered metal stampings and injection molded plastic components for the automotive, appliance, security, energy, and medical device markets, with growing emphasis on proprietary end-product technologies such as patented electronic lock systems and SOL-A-RAY self-adhesive solar cell products for the automotive aftermarket.

SUPERB's core production technology centers on a fleet of high-speed Bihler servo cells (GRM80, GL3000, Bimeric 1500 and Bimeric 3000), ten Bruderer high-speed stamping presses (three 75-ton and seven 30-ton units running at up to 1,500 strokes per minute), Battenfeld and Van Dorn/Newbury injection molding presses ranging from 40 to 230 tons, an IPG Photonics YLS-5000 5 kW fiber laser laboratory, CNC machining (Mori Seiki and Doosan three-axis mills plus a Chevalier CNC wet surface grinder), and a MakerBot Replicator 3D printer for prototyping. Process capability includes tolerances to 20 millionths of an inch, Cpk 2.0+ on precision drawn components, and throughput up to 12,000 finished components per hour on integrated cells. The proprietary SUPERB9000 quality management system integrates ISO 9000 / TS 16949 / IATF 16949 requirements with part-level traceability, APQP-based launch management, and stroke-count predictive maintenance.

SUPERB sells primarily through enterprise field sales backed by technical support offices in Michigan (Detroit, Plymouth, Grand Rapids), Indiana, Ohio, North Carolina, Mexico (Mexico City, Monterrey, Queretaro), and a distribution and technical support presence in Hong Kong, with shipments to customers in the United States, Mexico, Canada, China, Hong Kong, and Germany. Revenue derives from three streams: high-volume engineered metal component manufacturing, injection molding services (insert molding, over molding, reel-to-reel terminal over molding), and value-added manual and automated assembly. The customer mix spans enterprise OEMs and tier suppliers, with documented wins including a multi-million dollar contract in late 2014 awarded over larger competitors, a major truck cap manufacturer for which SUPERB reduced SKU complexity from dozens to one, and a pickup truck program powered by SOL-A-RAY solar technology. The company operates a 75+ person workforce with a stated plan to add 50 more employees within three years, supported by an in-house apprenticeship program, the SUPERB Technical Institute, and strategic alliances with Bihler of America and the Unimet Group that together provide access to a coalition of more than 1,000 technical manufacturing experts.
