Frequently Asked Questions
About LMC Industries
Our manufacturing facility is located at 100 Manufacturers Drive, Arnold, MO 63010. We serve OEMs and tiered suppliers across the Midwest and nationally, including customers in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, and beyond.
Capabilities
Yes — and this is one of our core differentiators. We produce metal stamped components and plastic injection molded or overmolded parts under one roof, which means programs that require both materials can be managed with a single supplier. This simplifies purchasing, compresses lead times, and gives you a single point of accountability for quality.
Yes. Our transfer tooling process is designed to bring existing programs on-stream efficiently — we inspect your current tooling, identify any repair needs, optimize for our equipment, and manage the transition in a way that minimizes disruption to your production schedule.
Yes. Our 14,000-square-foot tool room is equipped with CNC milling, wire EDM, conventional EDM, water jet machining, and TIG welding capabilities. We fabricate, repair, and maintain both metal stamping dies and injection molds in-house, and we stock consumable components such as pins and bushings to minimize unplanned downtime.
We offer precision metal stamping (including progressive die stamping, in-die tapping, and in-die assembly), plastic injection molding, insert molding and overmolding, tool and die fabrication and maintenance, assembly and finishing, and logistics and kitting — all in a single 240,000+ square foot facility.
Getting Started

It depends on where your program is starting from. If you need new tooling designed and fabricated, or are transferring existing tooling from another supplier, our in-house tool room allows us to move faster than manufacturers who outsource tooling work — and we’ll inspect and optimize any transferred tooling before your first production run to minimize ramp-up time. Once your program is established, we work with you to build a production and delivery schedule that fits your operational needs.
Industries and Applications
Yes. We produce automotive parts where safety and reliability are non-negotiable. Our ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certifications, combined with our in-house quality systems and tooling controls, are designed specifically to meet the demands of safety-critical programs.
We serve manufacturers in the automotive, agriculture, medical, electronics, consumer products, and hand tools industries. Our experience spans applications from automotive sun visor assemblies and stamped engine brackets to food-grade baby bottles, poultry feeding system components, and medical device parts.
Quality and Certifications
Yes. Before entering full production on any new program, we perform PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) to conduct first article inspections and confirm we meet quality standards and part specifications. We also apply APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) during program launch to ensure part designs are optimized for manufacturability and risks are identified and mitigated before production begins.
We are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016. These certifications govern both our quality assurance processes (preventing non-conforming parts at the process level) and quality control practices (inspecting finished parts to confirm they meet customer specifications).
Bring us complexity.
We’ll deliver simplicity.
