Recreation
Recreational vehicles make up a large part of our transportation business. By nature, these vehicles require a balance of durable and lightweight materials, making custom-engineered plastics the perfect solution.
Thanks to our extensive product lines, we can help you build your recreational vehicles from the inside and out. That means you get on-trend, sharp-looking components with strength and toughness you can count on to ride out rough terrain. Better yet, our innovative thermoforming processes offer faster production times and lower costs.
Performance
Interior components—such as durable flooring, structural panels, sound abatement sheet, seating, trim, floor mats — require lightweight, abrasion resistant materials with color fastness and sound dampening. Exterior applications, such as exterior body panels and trim, door and wheel liners, special lighting effects and tail lights, housings and covers, durable bed liners, tonneau covers, must be strong, durable, and weather and heat-resistant. Next gen and electric vehicles come with their own host of specific requirements, including durable, cost-effective battery trays and flooring and body panels.
