One Partner.
Total Solution.
Integrated manufacturing means a single supplier performs every process required to take a part from raw sheet to finished, ready-to-ship assembly. At Floe Thermoforming that includes thermoforming, composites, metal fabrication, custom aluminum extrusions, robotics, CNC machining, and assembly, all under one roof at four Minnesota plants with 152 associates.
The seven capabilities, connected
Each capability is strong on its own. Connected under one roof and one program manager, they remove the handoffs where cost, lead time, and quality usually leak.
Thermoforming
Heavy-gauge vacuum and pressure forming to .600" gauge.
Composites
Structural and finished composite assemblies.
Metal Fabrication
Manual and automated welding, bending, and assembly.
Aluminum Extrusions
Custom profiles built in-house for the program.
Robotics & Automation
Multi-head and single-head robotic trim and finishing.
CNC Machining
5-axis and 4-axis trim and machining to print.
Assembly
Inserts, hardware, wire, lighting, electronics, kitting.
Fewer suppliers, better outcomes
Every handoff between vendors adds freight, lead time, double margin, and a quality seam. Consolidating them is where integrated manufacturing pays.
A single accountable program manager
One program manager owns the part from RFQ to production launch, DFM, material, tooling, validation, industrialization, and ramp. When a question comes up, there's one person who can answer it across every process.
That accountability is only possible because the processes are in one building. Nobody is waiting on another vendor's schedule, and nobody can point at the next shop in the chain.

Questions OEM engineers ask
What is integrated manufacturing in thermoforming?
Integrated manufacturing means a single supplier performs every process required to take a part from raw sheet to finished, ready-to-ship assembly. At Floe Thermoforming that includes thermoforming, composites, metal fabrication, custom aluminum extrusions, robotics, CNC machining, and assembly, all under one roof in Minnesota.
Why use a single-source thermoforming partner?
Single-source manufacturing reduces supplier complexity, shortens timelines by eliminating inter-vendor handoffs, simplifies quality records, and lowers total cost by eliminating double margins between vendors. One contract, one accountable program manager, one set of QA documentation.
Can a thermoformer also do CNC machining and assembly?
Yes, Floe Thermoforming operates 5-axis and 4-axis CNC machining, multi-head and single-head robotic trim cells, manual and automated welding, metal fabrication, custom aluminum extrusion, and full assembly (inserts, mechanical systems, wire harness, lighting, electronics, hardware, kitting) all in-house.
What is the benefit of an integrated thermoforming supplier?
Fewer suppliers, faster timelines, single accountable point of contact, unified quality records, lower total cost, and faster engineering iteration cycles.
Does Floe Thermoforming handle composites and metal fabrication too?
Yes. Floe Thermoforming's integrated stack includes thermoforming plus composites (structural + finished assemblies), metal fabrication (manual + automated welding, bending, assembly), custom aluminum extrusions, robotics, CNC machining, and final assembly.
