Established in 1963, OTC Industrial Technologies (Ohio Transmission Corporation) is one of the largest industrial distributors & service providers in the United States. We're committed to seeing industrial operations advance through expert technical solutions & unmatched support using our years of experience.

Overview

Motherson Yachiyo US Automotive Systems, Inc., an automotive parts manufacturer in Marion, Ohio, depends on multiple compressed air systems  to support the production of plastic fuel tanks and sunroofs. Over time, compressors began to fail, and inconsistent service from their previous provider left Yachiyo exposed to costly downtime.

Seeking dependable support and system improvements, Yachiyo partnered with OTC Industrial Technologies.  We quickly responded to their air compressor service  needs, restored critical equipment, and developed a long-term partnership that included strategic upgrades, such as the installation of a new high-efficiency air compressor.

Challenges

Yachiyo's facility operated with multiple air compressors essential to their manufacturing processes. As their industrial air compressors  started breaking down regularly, their previous service provider failed to provide timely support. The lack of reliable maintenance and system instability made it difficult to maintain consistent operations, resulting in frequent compressor downtime. Yachiyo needed a responsive, trusted partner to address immediate failures and build a more reliable compressed air system.

Solution

OTC stepped in to provide urgent service and stabilize failing compressors. Our team rapidly addressed critical system failures and restored the compressed air supply. Over time, we strengthened the partnership by delivering ongoing system maintenance. To further enhance reliability, our team installed a new high-efficiency Atlas Copco  compressor, supplementing the existing fleet of compressors and improving system performance. We also implemented upgrades to support equipment and continue to provide proactive air compressor service  to minimize downtime and support production demands.

Results

  • Restored critical compressed air system reliability
