Echo Engineering and Ammex Plastics have been investing heavily with the automotive fastening market by developing a library of different designs, hiring plastics and process engineers, adding additional presses, and purchasing new testing and measuring devices.

We are experienced in designing and manufacturing a variety of different automotive clips used on HVAC lines, brake lines, harnesses, etc.

With Echo and Ammex, you’ll be working with a team experienced in bringing new clips to life based on performance requirements set by the tier-1 or OEM manufacturer.  This is why we’ve brought a lot of testing in-house at our headquarters in Indianapolis in order to speed up our process and devlop a more comprehensive understanding of automotive fastening technologies.

• Insertion & extraction forces
• Clamping and opening forces
• Living hinges for closure needs
• Over-molded rubber onto plastic for enhanced NVH performance
• Leak testing
• FEA
