Automotive Manufacturing Industry

 

DRIVING CLEANER MANUFACTURING

 

Just-in-time automotive manufacturing demands uninterrupted production and adaptable solutions to keep deliveries on schedule and facilities working while meeting regulatory emissions requirements.

The automotive manufacturing industry consists of vehicle assembly plants that produce cars, light trucks, buses, and commercial heavy-duty trucks, as well as tier suppliers that produce automotive parts. These plants require proven environmental air pollution control and filtration solutions. CECO Environmental commonly addresses the challenges of automotive manufacturing with clean, safe, and efficient products and solutions within our CECO family of brands shown below.
