CMP Automotive Group pivots their axle assembly line to support ventilator production.

CMP Automotive Group, a partner of LCM’s SOLO strategy, has executed a swift switch over to start producing parts for ventilators, supporting medical needs in the fight against COVID-19.

Press release:

THE LA RIOJANA COMPANY, CMP AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, COLLABORATES  ON THE MANUFACTURE OF RESPIRATORS.

CMP AUTOMOTIVE GROUP  is g assisting with the supply of essential components necessary to manufacture  oxygen respirators using  a line adapted by SEAT (Martorell) in record time. Initially designed for the manufacture of the front axle of the sub-chassis of the well-known Seat León, production is now  fully dedicated to satisfying the high demand for this essential  component in  the fight against  COVID-19.

Parts normally supplied by CMP AUTOMOTIVE GROUP through its subsidiary MONTAJES ABRERA to be assembled into hood components of SEAT models, have been destined for a very different purpose than the one they were designed for. . Thanks to a tool developed specifically by  the Group’s engineers, they are being  reused as component parts for  respirators.

Alfonso Ameyugo, CEO of CMP AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, points out: “We are proud to be able to contribute to support the people who need it most in these hard times.”
