What We Offer

Automotive Thermoforming

The automotive industry utilizes a diverse range of components and tools to build, maintain, and repair all kinds of vehicles. Their materials needs are just as varied. Global Thermoforming leads in providing thick-gauge thermoforming services to produce parts for companies such as Nissan, TRW, Local Motors, and Calsonic, as well as many others. Using specialized materials such as TPO, Kydex, Royalite, Boltaron, and Acrylic-capped ABS, our manufacturing facilities supply interior and exterior components.

Door Panels

Thermoformed interior door panels reduce vehicle weight, provide safety-compliant design features, and can be molded into complex shapes, as required. With attractive, durable, and easy-to-maintain surfaces, they’re ideal for all types of transportation.

Exterior Door Panels

Exterior door panels made from thermoformed plastic have become increasingly popular, replacing injection-molded plastic products, as well as aluminum and steel. Using TPO for these components provides integrated color that eliminates the need for painting.

Instrument Panels

Vehicle instrument panels can require complicated designs, all while utilizing standardized and regulated materials. The items we manufacture are entirely customized to your specifications, using only the best materials. Thermoforming can create intricate, lightweight designs that accommodate automotive instrument components, airbags, integrated panel sections, and seamless single-panel pieces.

Glove Boxes

Glove boxes provide storage and often undergo much wear and tear. We manufacture durable pieces that are not only attractive and safe but easy to clean and maintain. Thermoforming can create a variety of surfaces to coordinate with any automotive interior.

Center Consoles

These essential automotive interior components must meet not only industry safety standards but stand up to everyday use. In addition, their designs can be more complicated than what meets the eye, as they must work with surrounding wiring and other interior features. We collaborate with our clients to produce surface details and custom elements that resist spills, tears, abrasions. The results are attractive, highly functional, light, and quiet in car interiors.
