East Tawas, MI | Website

Client Challenge

Minth Group is a global manufacturer headquartered in China with U.S. bases in Lewisburg, Tennessee, and in Wixom and East Tawas, Michigan. Minth supplies trim, molding and decorative auto parts to many world-renowned international automakers, including General Motors Co., Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Volkswagen AG and Nissan Motor Co. In 2019, Minth subsidiary Plastic Trim International completed a $16.1 million upgrade at its East Tawas manufacturing plant. Due to this growth and demand for painted plastic automotive exterior trim components, Minth needed a system to feed a paint line for final rinse of these products.

Besco Solution

Plastic Trim International contacted Besco because of its reputation as a well-established commercial water-treatment company. Besco engineers worked with plant managers at Plastic Trim International to design a water-treatment solution for the final rinse of these automotive exterior trim components. Due to the rapid growth in sales and the need for expanding capacity, Besco engineers worked on this continuing installation for over a two-year period. Besco Commercial can solve any custom needs, such as this system to feed the paint line for a final rinse.
