TEAM SUTHERLAND ON THE MOVE: INSTALLATIONS COAST TO COAST

Aug 19, 2025
•

COAST-TO-COAST EXPANSION

In recent weeks, crews have brought new capacity online in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee, California, Washington, and Oregon, while parallel projects ramp in Canada and Mexico.

This cadence speaks to a proven formula carried by a family-owned company since 1946:

  • Disciplined execution.
  • Controls-first engineering.
  • Relentless focus on uptime, safety, and operator confidence.

For manufacturers in metal forming, automotive, aerospace, forging, and composites, the result is tangible productivity now and a scalable foundation for the future. Customers are already experiencing:

  • Faster time-to-first-part.
  • Smoother changeovers.
  • Quality validated at startup and sustained through lifecycle support.

TURNKEY APPROACH TO INSTALLAITONS

‍Behind each startup is a risk-reducing, timeline-compressing approach:

  • Integration: Mechanical and servo-hydraulic presses, automation, and I-PRESS® control commissioning in one coordinated rollout.
  • Validation: Documented run-off to prove performance in speed, tonnage, parallelism, and part quality.
  • Training: Hands-on instruction tailored to operator tools, parts, and maintenance routines.
  • Safety: Every installation validated to CAT-3 and PLd standards.

By combining technology, intelligent controls, and pragmatic training, Sutherland Presses ensures complex launches become repeatable, manageable processes that slot seamlessly into existing plant routines.

IMMEDIATE PAYOFF FOR PRODUCTION LEADERS

Customers report measurable wins in:

  • Reliability.
  • Changeover efficiency.
  • Downtime reduction.

Notably, I-PRESS® encodes best practices into every shift, making smart work the default.

Faster ramp-ups compressing time to steady-state throughput

  • Reduced unplanned downtime with predictive diagnostics and fault isolation.
  • Smoother changeovers via saved recipes and job memory.
  • Programmable motion profiles tailored to part geometry and material.
  • On-screen troubleshooting guidance.
  • Actionable data logging for continuous improvement and audit readiness.

SERVO HYDRAULIC ADVANTAGE

At the heart of many new lines are Sutherland Servo-Hydraulic Presses, engineered for:

  • Power density
  • Precision
  • Long-life reliability under demanding duty cycles

These presses unite the responsive control of a servo system with the stout power of hydraulics, all under the user-first I-PRESS® interface.

Key Advantages:

  • Unified press, feed, transfer, and ancillary device control.
  • Energy efficiency via intelligent pump management and standby logic.
  • Customizable tonnage, daylight, stroke, and bed size.
  • Reduced maintenance with condition monitoring and easy service access.
  • Safety features meeting or exceeding CAT-3 and PLD.
  • Lifecycle support with OEM parts, training, and remote diagnostics.
  • EXCECUTION AS THE DIFFERENTIATOR

    What ultimately sets Sutherland apart is execution. The company’s experienced crews bring project planning discipline to every installation, and that precision translates into shorter setup times, smoother first shifts, and cleaner handoffs. By working in tight coordination with plant teams, staging, rigging, power-up, and trial runs are sequenced to minimize disruption. Flexible scheduling further ensures that production commitments remain intact.

    This disciplined approach applies equally to greenfield lines, phased upgrades in high-volume automotive environments, or aerospace projects where dimensional accuracy and traceability are paramount. Across every industry served, customers know they can rely on consistency: the same people, the same process, and the same commitment to results.

    A STRAIGHTFORWARD PATH FORWARD

    For plants planning their next step, Sutherland offers a process built for speed, accountability, and measurable outcomes. Each engagement begins with a clear assessment of current assets and production goals, followed by application engineering that aligns press, automation, and controls with part requirements. Timelines are mapped with defined milestones and validation criteria, while installation planning covers rigging, utilities, and safety readiness. On-site commissioning includes operator training and full CAT-3/PLd safety validation, and every project closes with a documented run-off that confirms speed, tonnage, parallelism, and quality.

    From there, performance is sustained with ongoing service, preventive maintenance programs, and rapid-response repair capabilities. The goal is not only to deliver an installation but to ensure long-term productivity and peace of mind.

    A Heritage of Innovation

    Since 1946, Sutherland Presses has advanced mechanical, servo hydraulic, and forge presses that win on reliability and precision. Backed by training, OEM parts, and lifecycle service, the company sustains plant performance worldwide.

    Today, as manufacturers demand higher OEE, greater efficiency, and the confidence to form new materials, Sutherland’s formula continues to meet the moment.

    The calendar is filling fast—secure your slot, keep your lines moving, and let Sutherland help you Press On and Forge Ahead.
