For more than 25 years, MS Companies has provided workforce and quality support to the automotive industry, serving over 15 OEM partners and 1,300+ suppliers annually across North America. Our automotive staffing, crisis labor, quality inspection, on-site quality representation, and advisory teams keep manufacturing moving at every tier of the supply chain.

Solving Critical Automotive Workforce and Quality Challenges

  • Volume swings, absenteeism, and ramp-ups can leave production lines short-handed overnight, and every unfilled shift puts delivery schedules at risk. MS Companies deploys production operators, skilled trades, and technical professionals at speed, backed by crisis labor solutions built to close significant labor gaps fast. With 95% of staffing coordinated through our internal recruiting and delivery resources, we provide greater consistency, accountability, and control without relying heavily on outside agency networks.
  • A quality spill can shut down your customer's line, trigger chargebacks, and put your business at risk. MS Companies deploys trained inspection, sorting, containment, and rework teams that identify and isolate nonconforming material before it reaches your customer. We support GP12, Safe Launch, and customer-mandated quality protocols while helping establish a clear path to a verified clean point.
  • When quality issues surface at your customer's plant, you need eyes and ears on-site. Our Quality Liaisons and Field Quality Engineers provide 24/7 coverage at OEM and supplier plants across North America, managing containment, escalations, and root cause communication on your behalf, helping you reduce cost of poor quality, lower the risk of line-down charges, and protect OEM scorecard performance.
  • New model launches, EV and battery programs, and plant expansions strain every function at once. Our advisory team supports launch ramp-up and industrialization, new model launch and APQP/PPAP execution, and IATF 16949 certification readiness, while our recruiters build the production and technical workforce behind them, from a single partner.
