Continental Structural Plastics (CSP), a global leader in highly-engineered, composite vehicle components, announced today it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of the stamping operations of AMI, Manchester, Michigan. This acquisition includes AMI’s 90,000 square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility in Manchester, Michigan.

AMI handles a broad range metal stamping projects, as well as providing in-house engineering support, production welded parts and light assembly. Press sizes at the Manchester facility range from 32 to 600 tons. AMI Manchester, which currently has 70 employees, also has a full-service die maintenance department, including a wire electrical discharge machine and sinker electrical discharge machine.
