Advanced Manufacturing for Large-Scale Production
Everything About Shinhwa Auto’s North America Smart Factory
Shinhwa Auto’s 356,000 sq.ft. (approx. 33,000 m²) facility in Auburn, Alabama goes beyond being a factory—it is a strategic asset designed for efficiency, scalability, and unmatched quality.
As a state-of-the-art Smart Factory, every piece of equipment is part of an integrated digital ecosystem managed by a next-generation MES (Manufacturing Execution System). This ensures maximum control, real-time monitoring, and data-driven optimization at every stage of production, allowing us to meet and exceed the expectations of our global partners.
Our In-House Capabilities: A Tour of Our Equipment
We have made significant investments in world-class equipment to control every core manufacturing process internally.
Our process begins with premium raw materials and powerful, precision-controlled casting cells capable of handling a wide range of component sizes and complexities.
-
Melting Furnaces: 3 large-capacity operating units
-
High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) Machines:
-
CPC (Complex Pressure Casting) Lines: 5 advanced lines
-
LPDC (Low-Pressure Die Casting) Lines: 10 dedicated lines for high-integrity structural components
Your Advantage: This extensive and diverse casting capability allows us to handle everything from small, intricate components to large, robust structural parts—backed by ample capacity and redundancy to support even the highest production volumes without disruption.
Our facility is equipped with a wide range of automated machining centers, designed to consistently achieve sub-micron tolerances.
-
CNC Machines: 100+ high-speed machining centers
-
Machining Automation Systems: 44 integrated robotic systems for automated loading, unloading, and inline transfer
Your Advantage: This high level of automation ensures outstanding part-to-part consistency, reduces the possibility of human error, and delivers the extreme precision required for critical applications—at competitive cost and high throughput.
We manage the final metallurgical properties and surface preparation of parts through comprehensive in-house processes.
-
Heat Treatment Furnaces:
-
3 batch-type
-
1 continuous-type for precise T6 and other heat-treatment cycles
-
-
In-house Capabilities: Dedicated lines for carburizing, painting, and complex assembly
Your Advantage: Our in-house finishing capabilities streamline the entire production process, shorten lead times, and provide more complete, installation-ready parts from a single accountable source.
To validate our zero-defect promise, we have invested in one of the industry’s most advanced suites of metrology and inspection equipment.
-
X-Ray ADR (Automatic Defect Recognition): 4 powerful units for 100% non-destructive internal inspection
-
PT (Penetrant Testing) Line: 1 dedicated line for surface crack detection
-
Advanced Metrology: Fully equipped labs with CT scanners for 3D analysis and multiple CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) for dimensional validation
Your Advantage: We don’t just inspect surfaces—we validate the internal structural integrity of every critical component. This ensures reliability, safety, and complete data-backed confidence in every part we deliver.
