Composites

Floe Thermoforming produces structural and finished composite assemblies as part of its integrated manufacturing stack, so OEM programs can combine composites with thermoformed, fabricated, and machined components under one roof, managed by one accountable program manager from design review through production.

What it is

Composites, explained

Composites earn their place where a part needs a specific stiffness-to-weight ratio or a finished structural surface that a single thermoformed wall can't deliver alone. Floe Thermoforming builds both structural and finished composite assemblies in-house.

Because composites sit next to forming, metal fabrication, and assembly on the same floor, a program can mix processes part-by-part without spreading the work across a chain of vendors.

When to use it

Choosing the right process

Composites are one tool in an integrated stack. The advantage is combining them with other processes under one roof.

vs Composites-Only Shops
Composites combine with thermoforming, metal fab, and assembly in one building, no inter-vendor handoffs.
vs Outsourced Composites
One program manager owns the composite part and everything it bolts to.
vs All-Thermoformed
Composites add stiffness-to-weight where a formed wall alone won't meet the spec.
FAQ

Questions OEM engineers ask

Does Floe Thermoforming build composite parts in-house?

Yes. Structural and finished composite assemblies are part of Floe Thermoforming's integrated manufacturing stack, built on the same floor as thermoforming, metal fabrication, and assembly.

Can composites be combined with thermoformed parts?

Yes, that's the point of an integrated floor. A single program can mix composite, thermoformed, fabricated, and machined components without adding suppliers.

What volumes do you support for composites?

Floe Thermoforming is built for OEM production volumes of 1,000+ units annually, with one accountable program manager across every process.

Who manages a mixed composite-and-thermoforming program?

A single program manager owns the part from RFQ to launch, coordinating composites with forming, fabrication, machining, and assembly.
