Heavy-Gauge / Large-Format Thermoforming
Floe Thermoforming is a large, heavy-gauge thermoformer for OEM production. We form parts up to 24 feet long, 10 feet wide, 6 feet deep, at .600" starting gauge on the world’s largest rotary thermoforming machine, then finish them through integrated composites, metal fabrication, machining, and assembly under one roof in Minnesota.

Heavy-Gauge OEM Programs Across Demanding Markets
Vacuum pressure draws heated heavy-gauge sheet over the mold. The right call for large parts, functional surface finishes, and lower per-unit cost at scale.
Air pressure forces the sheet into the tool for crisp detail, defined texture, and tighter tolerances, injection-molded looks without injection-molded tooling cost.
Robotic cells trim the formed parts; 5-axis and 4-axis CNC machines the value-add components. Assembly and packaging in-house, so parts leave the floor finished and production-ready, not just formed.
Heavy-gauge thermoforming under one roof. The AVT 3-station rotary runs sheet no one else can, and the trim, finishing, and assembly happen on the same floor.

In-house tooling and OEM-grade engineering support compress the path from drawing to first article. DFM feedback comes back fast, and the same team carries the program to production.
RFQ, mutual NDA, and design-for-manufacture review.
In-house milling for a fast first turn, no outside queue.
Formed, trimmed, finished, and inspected to print.
Scaled tooling, finished components, on-time delivery.
Forty-three years of building it better. Floe Thermoforming is the thermoforming division of FLOE International, a family-owned manufacturer, headed up by VP of Thermoforming Jon Novitt, whose 28-year career spans heavy-gauge OEM programs across heavy equipment, agriculture, commercial trucking, and powersports.
Heavy-gauge, large-format thermoforming engineered to OEM standards, with in-house tooling, robotic and CNC finishing, automation, and assembly under one roof. Finished, production-ready components, not just formed parts.
