Heavy Truck Parts

In the 60’s, MFG blazed the trail of composite material conversion for the commercial truck industry. Today we are a major supplier to OEM’s of class 6, 7 and 8 commercial vehicles.  With sales exceeding 40,000 units/year, MFG is the leading producer of composite roof caps in North America.

Offering the gamut of materials and processes, we can support specific requirements for appearance, aerodynamics, durability and weight. Our involvement in other demanding industries augments the value we bring to truck OEM’s with material breakthroughs such as advanced fiber reinforcement and alternate resin technologies that help reduce weight. Our R&D research and testing laboratory is approved for composite processes and materials by leading OEM’s.

As a longstanding partner to heavy truck manufacturers, MFG is resourced to meet your needs in the areas of quality assurance, JIT delivery and project management. Our Design Center works closely with customers to achieve product designs that are fully optimized for manufacturability. Rigorous program management during design, tool building, initial part approval and production launch ensures complete synchronization with your delivery needs.
