GTP joins material expertise with market knoweldge to produce the highest quality injection molded parts found throughout transportation and other industries 

Material Science

It all starts with the inputs and a critical component of GTP’s success as a custom injection molder is our material knowledge. Over the past forty plus years we have taken the time to know the materials, the molding processes, and the environment in which the finished goods will operate. In parallel, we have developed strong relationships with key material providers that collaborate with us to innovate, improve, and enhance these products to not only meet spec but to exceed our customers’ expectations with attention to both quality and cost.

Functional

Functional plastic parts serve a specific purpose or function within a larger system or product. They are designed and manufactured to perform mechanical, structural, or operational tasks, contributing directly to the functionality and performance of the overall product. Functional plastic parts can vary widely in complexity and size, ranging from simple connectors and fasteners to intricate components such as gears, housings, and enclosures. They are typically engineered to meet specific requirements such as strength, durability, dimensional accuracy, and chemical resistance, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in their intended application. GTP makes a number of functional plastic products including oil fill caps and tubes, baffles, engine/transmission/manifold covers, conveyor sorters and many more. When your product needs to be functional and injection molded, look no further than GTP.

Cosmetic

Sometimes it is not just about the function but also about the look. Many of GTP’s products are what make that critical first impression when looking under the hood, or when a technician changes the oil, or even when a backset passenger puts a magazine in the seat pocket in front of them. GTP’s exacting standards reach beyond function and to the esthetics required from these components as well. Additionally, we provide a variety of finishing options including etching, pad printing and more.

Metal-to-Plastic Conversion

Metal-to-plastic conversions continue to revolutionize industries, and GTP is at the forefront. We partner with leading compounders to develop custom resins with the perfect properties for each application. Our team's expertise ensures we recommend the best possible resin to transform the design, delivering lighter weight, improved efficiency, and exceptional performance.

The outcome of converting from metal to plastic has brought enhancements for GTP's customers, offering an elevated strength-to-weight ratio and improved fuel economy. Importantly, these benefits are achieved without susceptibility to corrosion or degradation, even in the presence of chemicals or harsh environmental conditions.

Electric vehicle related

The use of plastic materials in powertrain components helps to reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance durability. The requirements for plastic parts in electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, and alternative fuel vehicles can differ from those for traditional powertrain vehicles in many ways, often with heightened expectations for performance, safety, and efficiency. Here are some considerations: weight reduction, thermal management, electrical insulation, durability/reliability, environmental considerations.

Modern transportation and industry demand more out of materials with continued attention to cost and GTP has the material expertise and supply chain to excel as your injection molding partner for products in the newer powertrain solutions.

GTP has a wide (and growing) expanse of items we produce and our team would love the opportunity to talk with you about your next project.  We’re ready.
