AMADA automation
enables TPI to provide
high-product-mix 
manufacturing
on demand.
AMADA AMERICA, INC.   •    amada.com/america  
Stay  In Touch  With What’s  Next.
Since its inception in 1950, TPI Corporation has built its reputation 
as “America’s Comfort Conditioning Company.”  Today, this U.S.-based 
manufacturer leads the industry with innovative solutions in electric 
heating, ventilation, industrial lighting, commercial controls, and indus
-
trial ovens.
Through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, TPI has expand-
ed its reach to diverse sectors with an extremely broad product mix. 
To support its high-mix manufacturing needs and avoid the challenges 
of excessive inventory, TPI partnered with AMADA for innovative and 
reliable blanking and bending solutions.
AMADA delivered two ENSIS 3015 AJ ber lasers with automation 
and an EG 6013 AR compact, robotic bending cell. These advanced 
 
systems enable lights-out, high-speed, and high-precision production 
while enhancing safety for handling small, intricately formed parts.
Gary Sparks, Vice President of Manufacturing, explains:
“Automated material handling combined with automated tool changes 
enable us to run lights out all weekend, unattended. Our goal is to deliver 
products within 24 to 48 hours.  AMADA’s exible solutions, on-demand 
sheet metal capabilities, and industry-leading support make this possible.”
