Automotive Project Management & Engineering Capabilities

Proven Leadership in Robotic Closure & Assembly Automation

Modern Body Engineering (MBE) has been a pioneer in robotic closure assembly tooling since 1998. As the first U.S. company to manufacture robotic closure tooling, MBE established many of the engineering and production standards still used across today’s automotive manufacturing industry.

Our decades of experience in robotic hemming, closure assembly, and vehicle body automation ensure every system we deliver meets the highest quality, performance, and durability requirements for OEM and Tier 1 programs.

Turnkey Automotive Project Management

MBE provides full-service automotive project management for robotic closure systems, tooling, and automated work cells. By maintaining close collaboration between engineering, tooling, controls, and manufacturing teams, we eliminate costly delays and production risks.

Our integrated approach allows us to deliver turnkey automation systems that meet budget targets, timeline requirements, and global OEM quality standards.

Automotive Industry Standards & Engineering Partnerships

MBE works closely with leading tool builders, material suppliers, and automotive engineering partners to ensure all systems meet current OEM, Tier 1, and global manufacturing standards. These relationships allow us to stay ahead of evolving vehicle design, closure technology, and automation requirements.

Reliable Program Timelines & Manufacturing Execution

With MBE managing design, fabrication, and installation, multiple phases of production can run in parallel. Our digital ordering and material tracking systems generate procurement data directly from engineering designs, allowing both long-lead and just-in-time components to be ordered accurately and efficiently.

This integrated workflow accelerates manufacturing schedules, reduces downtime, and ensures your robotic closure and automation systems are delivered on time and production ready.
