In a strategic move to broaden its market offerings and capabilities, National Composites (Troy, Mich., U.S.), an OEM supplying custom molded composite products and full metal cab fabrications and assembly, announces the acquisition of Northern Plastics (Sterling Heights, Mich., U.S.) a specialist in thermo/vacuum form plastics manufacturing.

“This acquisition provides our customers with a one-stop shop solution, even beyond composites,” Adam Fenton, CEO of National Composites, notes. It’s seen as a complementary expansion of National Composites’ existing expertise in composites and metals. “Although thermoforming is a core competency of ours, the addition of Northern Plastics is just the first of many planned expansions into the thermoplastics space,” Fenton says.

National Composites is committed to growth and innovation, as demonstrated in its recent strategic partnership with Laval, a premier North American compression moldmaker. This new acquisition of Northern Plastics further solidifies National Composites’ dedication to providing comprehensive solutions and staying ahead of industry demands.
