The Bemis Contract Group prides itself in its understanding of the markets it serves. Membership in the National Marine Manufacturers Association keeps us current on many of the issues involving your industry. Our ability to co/tri-injection mold provides our marine customers the option of foamed core products, which, in many cases, can reduce noise or provide flotation capability to a now wider variety of engineering grade thermoplastic options. Our machine size availability is capable of producing parts as small as a bow-light lens up to an eight-foot dinghy. Molded-in-color can provide excellent UV, water, and salt resistance without the expense of painting or the risk of abrasion revealing a different color as in painted or SMC poducts.

Our extrusion technologies are equally leading edge. Through the use of the Fulcrum technology, licensed from Dow, we are capable of providing continuous glass thermoplastic extrusions with stiffness values meeting or exceeding those of aluminum or costly thermoset plastic pultrusions. The resultant part can be colored, eliminating the costly and environmentally threatening painting process. And, because these parts do not take any kind of permanent set, they resist denting, bending, and abrasion. These materials can be co-extruded with other materials imparting the aesthetic enhancements or additional performance characteristics you require. We extrude a wide variety of materials from commodity resins to vinyls and engineering grades. Combined with our capabilities of in-line finishing, heat-forming, punching, and cutting simple profiles are a thing of the past.

Other processes such as MuCell microcellular foam, licensed from Trexel, multi-layer extrusion, two-shot and three-shot injection molding, as well as, soft-touch overmolding and complex die design are only a few of the other technologies available from the Bemis Contract Group. If you'd like to explore some of these advanced plastic technologies for your next marine application, just let us know.
