A LITTLE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER     The Fun of Manufacturing Solutions           From the Shop Floor to the Top Floor

A LITTLE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER The Fun of Manufacturing Solutions From the Shop Floor to the Top Floor

Most people see the end product, an automobile, refrigerator, golf cart, computer, cell phone, light switch, television, air conditioner, electric cars, overhead light, airplane etc... Not at Sutherland...

Our teams are trained to think and have x-ray vision to understand each component and the inter-relationship on how they all fit together to make the final product.

Example (Audi S8) four door cutaway (left) is made up of steel and aluminium stamping's, forgings, castings, glass, rubber and plastic components. We are on a quest to educate and train new comers to the metal manufacturing sector and increase the desire to be part of Something Bigger.

Analyze: verb examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure, IT'S WHAT WE DO...

We invite you to join the team that is leading the industry towards better, faster & safer ways to produce parts and sub assemblies.

A cool video example below: This is how we process large SUV roof panels that will come equipped with the sunroof option. When you combine know-how, servo hydraulic presses, robots and welding this is what you can expect from a Sutherland Press manufacturing cell.


(Left) is a 660 ton capacity press during installation. This press produces automotive stamping's 3 shifts / 7 days per week. This is far more than a big hammer, it is an intelligent manufacturing system. Each Sutherland straight side press comes standard with the I-PRESS AB PLUS controller that has changed the landscape in press and automation controls.

Information is Power and Up-time is King when you have millions of dollars invested in your plant. With our I-PRESS AB PLUS control you have the option to have I-PRESS Connected Enterprise that allows you the ability to monitor, troubleshoot, get alarms or download jobs from remote devices.

If you are in the metal forming industry, you know that most press companies purchase standard press controls and then you pay for the options you need. While this works, it does not give you the advantage you need to compete. The I-PRESS AB PLUS was innovated, incubated and hatched at Sutherland. Our innovative system comes standard with every feature you need and can be customized by our team of programmers as needed. Ask our customers. If you are a control geek and want a look under the hood, CLICK HERE for a in-depth 16 minute tutorial on the I-PRESS AB PLUS.


On-Line or Hands On Training Seminars for Best Press Room Practices. If your pressed for time we can arrange time-saving on-line meetings with you and your team. If you want to feel and touch and run the presses we extend an open invitation for you to come to CPPC / California Press Prep Center in Southern California. If you would like to schedule either, just shoot us an e-mail to [email protected] or call 1-310-453-6981 and we will make it happen.

I loved reading, "This is far more than a big hammer, it is an intelligent manufacturing system." Your presses are becoming smart, super strong manufacturing robots.

My world is one of exploitive shape management systems, adhesive joining systems ,melding , fastenees, all of which I have created. What is the point ? I can teach what is not known. You can find scores of my advancements in the a library of the United States Patent Office. By the way the presses require new exceptional new utility. To make possible dramatic weight reductions. My information is free my advice is not.

Well presented, Mark. Metal Forming, certainly before servo drives emerged, was far less interconnected with other processes. You have illustrated and shared the many dimensions of process, changing materials, and assemblies to reach the end product under the hood.
