Which companies provide them with their machinery to build the cars? I'm doing research and need to know these companies.
First, get a list of every major machine manufacturer outside the United States and Canada and find those which specialize in automation. Then do the same for every machine manufacturer in the United States and Canada starting with multiple operation machines, plastic extrusion and metal presses, forming and turning equipment, conveyor delivery systems and you have a start. The public library may have such listings .
The auto companies use many companies all over the world to develop those production lines. For example, a friend of mine in NJ has a small company that creates production lines for all kinds of companies. He recently developed a machine for one of the auto companies. That machine's sole job is to make the latch for the glove compartment. So, as you can imagine, there are probably hundreds of different companies invlolved.
