02How it gets made

From mold to finished product.

  1. 01

    Tooling

    Our own fabricators build the molds in the OFP mold shop.

  2. 02

    Layup

    Depending on the part, it is laid up by hand or sprayed up with a chopper gun.

  3. 03

    Finishing

    Technicians trim and finish each molded part.

  4. 04

    Assembly

    Products are assembled in the same plant before they ship.

03The material

Why fiberglass.

  • High strength

    High-strength fiberglass is used in industrial equipment, water treatment facilities, and marine and shipboard work.

  • Durable

    Glass fibers add compressive and tensile strength to the base resin, enough for fiberglass to rival or exceed the comparative strength of steel.

  • Design flexibility

    You can consolidate several parts into one and mold features straight into it, which brings the total part price down.

  • Light weight

    Composite parts are strong, stiff, and light, and they can be formed into any shape.

  • Sound dampening

    It absorbs sound.

  • Complex shapes

    A versatile material for demanding applications, fiberglass is displacing aluminum, steel, wood, and other plastics.

  • Dimensional stability

    Solid fiberglass holds its dimensions without cracking, curling, expanding, or contracting.

  • Corrosion resistance

    The composite resists most oxidizing agents, acids, metal salts, bases, reducing gases, and sulfur gases.

  • High-impact strength

    Impact resistance and strength come at low weight, with a good-looking surface that is easy to clean.

04Capabilities

Six processes, handled in house.

We are a fiberglass shop first. We also run thermoforming, injection molding, and metal fabrication, and our own mold shop supports all of it.
