Foam, Formed Plastics & OEM-Grade Painting for Automotive

We are ISO/TS 16949 compliant alongside our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100 Rev D certifications, and we’ve partnered with some of the largest OEM companies in the business.

Custom painting built for automotive

Our custom painting operation finishes body kits, fender flares, spoilers, running boards, fascias and trim — on vacuum-formed plastic, foam, wood and metal substrates — with the color match, texture and durability visible parts demand.

What We Build for Automotive & Aftermarket

  • Vacuum-formed and pressure-formed components — interior and exterior parts, trays, covers and housings, trimmed and finished in-house
  • EVA and XLPE die-cut parts — NVH padding, seals, gaskets and cushioning
  • Line-side dunnage and kitting trays — reusable protection and organization for assembly operations
  • Painted assemblies — formed, bonded, painted and assembled as one deliverable

Built for aftermarket volumes

Vacuum forming with in-house tooling is the sweet spot for automotive aftermarket economics: far lower tooling cost than injection molding, fast iterations during development, and clean scaling from prototype through mid-volume production.

Frequently asked questions

Do you serve both OEM programs and aftermarket brands?

Yes — we’ve supplied both since 1971, and our ISO/TS 16949 compliance reflects the automotive quality discipline OEM work requires.

Can you paint parts you didn’t form?

Yes. Our custom painting line finishes plastic, wood and metal substrates — including parts supplied by you or another vendor.

What volumes make sense for vacuum forming?

Prototype through mid-volume production is the sweet spot — tooling costs a fraction of injection molds, so smaller runs stay economical. Send quantities with your drawing and we’ll tell you honestly which process fits.

How do I get a quote?
