Custom plastic tank fabrication in a manufacturing facility

Our Custom Plastic Tank Fabrication Services

From precision thermoforming to full CNC fabrication, we deliver complete custom plastic solutions for every production need.

Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

We heat and vacuum-form plastic sheets into custom tanks and components using eight thermoforming machines ranging from 2'x3' to 5'x9', supporting ABS, HDPE, PETG, and more for low-cost, high-quality production.

Plastic Fabrication

Our skilled fabrication department produces custom plastic parts using precision CNC trimming, drilling, bonding, heat bending, and edge finishing — delivering finished components ready for assembly or direct deployment.

CNC Trimming & Cutting

Using two 5'x10' CNC trimming centers and advanced routing machinery, we trim and cut thermoformed and fabricated plastic parts to exact drawing specifications with clean edges and repeatable dimensional accuracy.

Mold Making & Tooling

We design and fabricate custom molds using aluminum, polyurethane, and precision wood tooling. From low-cost prototype molds to production-grade aluminum tools, we support every stage of your product development.

Prototyping

Produce accurate prototypes from low-cost wood or polyurethane tooling within weeks. Our prototyping process lets you review fit and function before committing to full production tooling, minimizing risk and cost.

High Volume Production

Our 4'x7' rotary thermoforming machine runs 2.5x faster than standard single-station equipment, enabling cost-effective high-volume plastic tank and component production with strict quality control at every stage.
