Golf cars, utility vehicles, neighborhood Vehicles, people transports, you just never know where they will show up next. From suburbia, to farms, to theme parks, the applications seem endless. Our industry can be proud of the way it has responded to the need for small power-driven products customized to specific needs. But if you haven't fully investigated the fit of plastics with your vehicle strategy, you have been missing a great deal.

Wherever engines are used to move people or product, Design Engineers have been searching for lighter weight materials. Where cost targets exist or concern for the environment is felt, Design Engineers have been looking for alternatives to the expense and ecological pressures of painting. Where complex assembly has put pressure on competitiveness or long term performance, many Design Engineers have been turning to plastics.

In nearly all cases, plastics are lighter weight than most of the materials they replace. However, with our patented Foam Core technology, products become even lighter without any loss in form, fit, or function. Combined with our patented co-injection process, Foam Core can actually enhance both appearance and function in structural, as well as, beauty panel applications. If you are thinking of thin wall products, our licensed MuCell technology can be applied to provide, in either injection molded or extruded products, features and benefits that traditional plastics processors simply cannot match. Structural demands can be met by our licensed continuous glass fiber Fulcrum technology available in either extruded or insert-molded designs.

When considered from the beginning of product design, our technologies can provide some or all of these features: reduce weight, molded-in color, chemical resistance, noise reduction, mar resistance, improved toughness, temperature insulation, and many more desirable features. Before you begin your next project, why not talk to us.

We're here to help.
