Innovative Launch: eCoFlow Switch Pump
Designed to ease the transition for automakers, the eCoFlow Switch Pump simplifies thermal management systems, which are becoming increasingly vital for electrified and hybrid vehicles. This solution not only meets today’s automotive demands but also promotes efficiency by consolidating components and reducing packaging space.
Efficiency Boost and Enhanced Performance
The eCoFlow system brings a host of benefits to vehicle thermal management. By eliminating the pressure drops typically associated with traditional pumps and valves, it enhances efficiency and ensures smoother fluid flow. This transition eliminates pressure pulsations and unwanted noise in the system, creating a quieter and more efficient operation.
With the improved design, there’s now only a single electrical connection needed for both pumping and fluid control, which significantly cuts down the requirement for additional connectors and wiring harnesses. This not only streamlines installations but also reduces the overall complexity, making life easier for automakers.
Cooper-Standard and the Michigan Business Landscape
Cooper-Standard, headquartered in Northville, boasts an impressive workforce of around 23,000 employees in 21 countries. Their expertise lies in sealing and fluid handling systems and components predominantly for the automotive sector.

Originally occupying this new headquarters since March 16, 2020, Cooper-Standard has adapted its working model to blend in a hybrid setup, catering to the needs brought forth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The transformation of their office was made even more viable thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the Michigan Strategic Fund and an anticipated expansion cost of up to $15.3 million.
