MFG’s association with composites for automobiles goes back to the 1950’s. In fact, MFG pioneered mass-production of fiberglass automobile panels with General Motors’ famous 1953 Corvette.

Today MFG is focused on leveraging the intrinsic qualities of composites for advanced structural and under-the-hood components. Our ability to develop advanced material formulas that meet specific objectives gives you access to cutting-edge technology on a flexible outsource basis.

Although many processes, namely SMC compression molding, are used for automotive parts – our proprietary PRIME process has become a standard for structural and quality-critical parts. Using pre-placed reinforcement and production innovations, PRIME produces lighter, more efficient parts.

As a longstanding partner to leaders in the automotive industry, MFG is resourced and staffed to meet the needs of manufacturers in the areas of quality assurance, JIT delivery and project management.
