AISIN USA Mfg. Inc. recently announced the successful launch of a new cooling plate manufacturing line at its Seymour facility, marking another significant milestone in the company’s commitment to advanced manufacturing and the future of vehicle electrification.
The new production line at AISIN USA’s Plant 2 in the Eastside Industrial Park will manufacture aluminum cooling plates used in battery thermal management systems for electrified vehicles. These precision-engineered components play a critical role in maintaining optimal battery temperatures, helping improve performance, charging efficiency, durability and overall vehicle safety.
The investment expands AISIN’s manufacturing capabilities while strengthening its North American supply chain to support the growing demand for electrified mobility solutions.
“Our new cooling plate manufacturing line represents an important step in AISIN’s electrification strategy,” said Shawn Deppen, president of AISIN USA. “This investment reflects our commitment to supporting our customers with innovative, high-quality thermal management products while reinforcing our position as a trusted automotive supplier. Just as importantly, it demonstrates our continued confidence in our team members, our Seymour operation and the future of advanced manufacturing in Indiana.”
The manufacturing process incorporates advanced automation, precision aluminum forming, brazing technology, leak testing and quality inspection systems to ensure every cooling plate meets AISIN’s rigorous standards for quality, reliability and performance.
The new line also enhances production flexibility, enabling AUM to efficiently support multiple customer programs while maintaining the company’s commitment to world-class manufacturing and continuous improvement.
