PPAP-Ready.

We supply Tier-2 and Tier-3 automotive manufacturers across the Midwest with PP, ABS, PC/ABS, and nylon grades. Stock in Iowa. PPAP documentation support included. No minimum order to qualify.

What Midwest Auto Manufacturers Run Into.

PPAP Documentation Burden
Every new grade requires PPAP qualification. We prepare the material documentation package - CoA, SDS, lot traceability - and support your team through supplier qualification so you're not assembling it from scratch six weeks into the program.
Under-Hood Heat Resistance
Underhood applications demand resins that hold spec at 120-140C continuous service. We stock and source PP-HMW, PA66, and PC grades rated for the exposure, with heat deflection data included in the quote package so your engineers have the numbers before the first sample ships.
Lightweighting Pressure from OEMs
OEMs continue pushing weight out of every component. We evaluate long-glass-fiber PP and structural foam grades as drop-in candidates against your current spec - with density data and comparative mechanicals so your team can make the call without running a full study first.
Single-Source Risk After a Price Spike
One supplier, one problem, one production shutdown. We qualify and maintain alternate sources for the grades your line depends on - so the next resin shortage hits your competitor's lead time, not yours.

Grade Switch Cuts Material Cost 18% Without Touching the Line

An Iowa Tier-2 supplier running PP-HMW for an underhood bracket was absorbing price pressure from their primary resin supplier with no leverage. We evaluated and qualified a PP copolymer alternate at 18% lower material cost in six weeks, including full PPAP documentation support. No line changes. No part requalification. Just the alternate material on the approved supplier list and a lower cost-of-goods line on the next program review.
