Vertical Solutions
When needed, PlastiComp can be more than just a source for composite pellets. From in-house product design and performance analysis capabilities all the way to component forming using injection molding or extrusion methods, we can simplify your product development process by providing a single-vendor solution.
Added Value
From complimentary evaluation samples to accessible experts ready to answer your questions, we strive to provide unmatched quality, service, and support others have forgotten is important to building and maintaining strong partnerships. Foremost, we know our success is dependent on ensuring you succeed.
Higher Performance
Our long fiber composites excel at being stronger, tougher, and lighter. We tailor the structural properties of our composite products to meet your performance specifications and are renowned for our metal-to-plastic conversion and multi-functional material expertise.
Unified Methodology
Successfully using composites goes beyond simply swapping one material for another. Our product development engineers use an integrated approach taking into account component and tooling design, composite material performance, as well as manufacturing process to maximize material change benefits and quicken your time to market.
Better Products
Injection molding composites provide a wealth of design freedom advantages which we tap to re-envision your products. They easily facilitate complex geometries with intricate details, consolidation of parts to eliminate secondary joining and assembly operations, and improved functionality to differentiate your products from competitors and enable you to capture market share.
Reduced Cost
Innovation isn’t only with materials – it also includes processes used to form them into finished goods. Long fiber composites use a single-step forming process to produce 3-D net shapes with minimal finishing operations resulting in lower manufacturing complexity and costs. Lighter weight composite materials have more cubic volume, which makes cost per pound/kilogram comparisons inaccurate.
