Custom Fiberglass Parts
Built for Your Product. Made for Your Application.
When an off-the-shelf component doesn’t fit the job, you need a manufacturing partner who can build one that does.
Fiberglass Specialties manufactures custom fiberglass parts and components for OEMs, equipment manufacturers, businesses and specialized applications. From a single custom component to ongoing production, we build parts around your design, performance requirements and end use.
Bring us a drawing, an existing part, a mold or simply the problem you’re trying to solve. We’ll help determine the best way to turn it into a finished fiberglass component.
Custom Means Custom
Your Part Doesn’t Have to Fit a Catalog
Every product has different requirements. Size, shape, strength, weight, finish, environment and production quantity can all influence how a fiberglass component should be manufactured.
That’s why we don’t start with a standard part and try to make it work.
We start with what you need the part to do.
Fiberglass Specialties can manufacture standalone fiberglass components, replacement parts and components designed to integrate into larger products and assemblies.
Whether you’re developing something completely new or improving a part already in production, we’ll work with you to find a practical manufacturing solution.
From an Idea to a Finished Part
You Don’t Need to Have Everything Figured Out
Some customers come to us with detailed drawings, specifications and production-ready tooling.
Others don’t.
You may have an existing component that needs to be reproduced. You may have a damaged or obsolete part that’s no longer available. You may be developing a new product and know what you need—but not how it should be manufactured.
That’s okay.
Our experience with fiberglass manufacturing, molds, patterns and multiple production processes allows us to help determine the best path forward.
Bring us what you have. We’ll start there.
The Right Process for the Right Part
Multiple Fiberglass Manufacturing Capabilities
There is no single manufacturing process that’s right for every fiberglass component.
Part geometry, surface requirements, production quantity, tooling costs and performance requirements all need to be considered.
Fiberglass Specialties offers multiple composite manufacturing processes, allowing us to select an approach based on your project rather than forcing your part into one method.
Closed Mold
Our RTM and LRTM capabilities provide repeatable production, dimensional consistency and controlled finishes for applications well suited to closed mold manufacturing.
Open Mold
Spray-up and hand lay-up manufacturing provide exceptional flexibility for custom parts, larger components, complex shapes and a wide range of production quantities.
Custom Fiberglass Parts for Demanding Applications
Built to Work in the Real World
Fiberglass reinforced composites offer a combination of strength, durability, corrosion resistance, design flexibility and relatively low weight, making them well suited for components that need to perform in demanding environments.
Custom fiberglass components can be used across a wide range of industries and applications, including:
- Utility and service equipment
- Aerial lift equipment
- Agricultural equipment
- Transportation applications
- Industrial equipment
- OEM products and assemblies
- Protective covers and enclosures
- Replacement components
- Specialty commercial products
Whatever the application, the finished part needs to do more than look right.
It needs to work.
Replacement & Hard-to-Find Fiberglass Parts
When You Can’t Order It, We May Be Able to Build It
Equipment doesn’t become useless just because a fiberglass component is obsolete, discontinued or difficult to source.
If you have an existing part that needs to be replaced, Fiberglass Specialties can evaluate the component and determine whether a replacement can be reproduced.
This can be particularly valuable for older equipment, specialized machinery and applications where replacement components are no longer readily available.
Bring us the existing part, drawings or specifications and we’ll help determine your options.
ASK ABOUT A REPLACEMENT PART
Custom Molds & Tooling
Your New Part Has to Start Somewhere
When a project requires new tooling, Fiberglass Specialties can help develop the custom molds and patterns needed to move your component into production.
Having manufacturing and tooling capabilities under one roof helps create a smoother path from the initial concept to the finished component.
Whether we’re working from an existing part, a pattern or a new design, the goal is to develop tooling appropriate for both the component and the manufacturing process.
Prototype to Production
Not every project begins with thousands of parts.
Sometimes you need to prove a concept first. Sometimes you need a specialized component in a limited quantity. Other projects require dependable repeat production.
Fiberglass Specialties works with customers across different production requirements, helping establish a manufacturing approach that makes sense for both the component and anticipated quantity.
As your needs change, we’re here to help you move forward.
Why Fiberglass?
Fiberglass has been used across industrial, agricultural, utility and transportation applications for decades because it provides designers and manufacturers with considerable flexibility.
Depending on the design and application, fiberglass composites can provide:
Corrosion Resistance
Fiberglass doesn’t rust like traditional metal components, making it valuable for applications exposed to moisture and challenging environments.
Strength Without Excessive Weight
Composite construction can provide durable components while keeping weight manageable.
Design Flexibility
Curves, contours, integrated features and complex shapes can be incorporated into fiberglass components.
Durability
Properly designed fiberglass components can withstand years of demanding use.
Repairability
Unlike some materials and manufacturing methods, many fiberglass components can be repaired rather than completely replaced after damage.
More Than a Fiberglass Supplier
A Manufacturing Partner
A custom component becomes part of your product, which means its quality affects your reputation as well as ours.
That’s why we look beyond simply getting a part out of the mold.
We want to understand where the component goes, what it needs to withstand, how it fits into your assembly and what matters to you in production.
For more than three decades, Fiberglass Specialties has helped customers turn ideas and requirements into finished composite components.
Now let’s talk about yours.
