Custom Molded Products That Exceed Expectations
Custom molding utilizes inexpensive tooling at lower pressures, allowing us to produce products at a low cost to you. The process quickly and accurately turns simple, flat panels into highly complex 3D designs. Customized molding cells will fit your needs and using our recycled resin, we will replicate your project thoroughly.

Compared to injection molding, compression molding allows for more challenging and economical materials, eliminating the need for pelletized formulas.
Equipment and tools required for compression molding operations are much simpler than those required for other molding methods, meaning less capital investment and lower production costs.
When handled correctly, wear and tear sustained by molds during operations is minimal, meaning less maintenance and longer life span of the tooling.
The compression molding process involves loading the material directly into the mold cavity and is not subject to part weight limitations– except for those imposed by part design and equipment, like size and pressure capacities. As a result, compression molding has the ability to handle large amounts of raw materials needed to create larger and thicker parts and products.
Our products can range from 8’ long to 6’ wide, with depths of 6”. Fiberglass, talc, and calcium are the main fillers used to add structure to our product lines. We have the in-house ability to go up to a 40% loading to activate the needed results.

Why Choose Us?
01
Created with Recycled Resin
Our 99% recycled resin is a lower cost alternative to virgin resin with the same high quality and process.
02
Improved Sustainability
Creating products with recycled materials reduces energy consumption and greenhouse emissions, while helping your business reach its sustainability goals.
03
Extensive Expertise
Our extensive experience and patented process ensures your custom compression molded products exceed expectations.
Our Innovative Process
We’ve developed our own unique long fiber reinforced thermoplastic process to achieve high-quality compression molding products. Using glass that grants greater stiffness without jeopardizing brittleness, while also reinforcing plastic without a cost penalty, our specialized extruder and screw technology allows for longer glass realization. These parts surpass other composites in deep ribs, bosses, standoffs, and draws.
Over 25 Years of Sustainable Solutions
With over 100 million pounds recycled annually, CTC takes everyday waste and returns it back into the market, helping companies meet their sustainability goals while promoting a green environment.
The CTC Product Line
We manufacture a full line of plastic pallets and custom resins by converting recycled plastics into new products with high-quality craftsmanship.
