Charleston Stamping & Manufacturing
A West Virginia Company - Competitive, Quality Driven and Financially Strong
Originally operated as an OEM stamping plant by Volkswagen of America, the Charleston Stamping & Manufacturing facility and its talented employees have produced major structural components and assemblies for an impressive list of customers:
- Volkswagen
- General Motors
- Ford
- Chrysler
- Mercedes
- Freightliner
- Toyota
- Other tier 1 suppliers that have needed help over the years
December 2006, the Park Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the equipment and assets within
the plant. Park has been an instrumental partner in the start up of other success stories such as American
Axle Corporation of
Detroit, Michigan and South Charleston Stamping and Manufacturing (SCSM) of South Charleston,
West Virginia.
Park Corporation has established a capable team with John T. Wise as President and CEO of CSM (background being Chrysler, General Motors, Volkswagen, SCSM and Mayflower Vehicle Systems) a name familiar to many in the automotive and heavy truck community.
For those OEMs looking for financially strong and capable suppliers in North America, CSM is the alternative to looking south of the border or offshore. CSM is the answer for a competitive, quality and stable supply source.
CSM has been renovated to a "Near Greenfield" plant. Investment in robots, press controls, die change automation and other major productivity improvements has made the plant a state of the art facility while allowing it to remain versatile and adaptable to the varying needs of its customers.
