Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites manufacturer Creative Composites Group (CCG, Alum Bank, Pa., U.S.) has integrated its molding manufacturing systems in Dayton, Ohio, and Augusta, Maine.

Through this integrated manufacturing approach, CCG says it is able to further elevate the group’s position as a specialist in primary manufacturing methods including infusion molding, filament winding, hand layup and pultrusion. By combining the manufacturing capabilities between two plants, CCG experts can determine which facility is best suited to meet customers’ needs and help walk customers through which manufacturing method is most appropriate given the project requirements.

“Through integrated molding manufacturing between two plants, CCG can better meet the needs of our customers and be nimble in terms of resourcing projects to help overcome ongoing industry supply shortages,” Shane Weyant, CEO, Creative Composites Group, says. “We can now work with both plants to schedule projects based on capacity and project location, speeding up project delivery and providing added cost efficiencies.”

In addition to elevating industry expertise, the integrated manufacturing approach also improves efficiencies, according to the company. Instead of two locations having different production schedules, a CCG project manager is able to organize production in a way that is optimized for both turnaround time and location — as some projects may need manufacturing simultaneously in both facilities to meet schedule, which occurred for a commuter rail platform project by CCG earlier this year.
