Pennex Tech Stack
Aluminum casting, extrusion, and fabrication with lean and reliability focus
Pennex manufactures aluminum cast products and extruded components across Ohio and Pennsylvania, serving automotive, transportation, and industrial OEMs. The tech stack is operationally mature—Epicor ERP, Allen-Bradley/Siemens PLCs, SolidWorks/AutoCAD for design—with heavy investment in manufacturing systems (CMMS, Studio 5000) rather than cloud or data infrastructure. Active project portfolio reveals a plant-operations-first strategy: six initiatives target equipment reliability, lean manufacturing, and maintenance systems, paired with safety and compliance programs. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 21 manufacturing and operations roles posted in the last month.
