Vehicle Aftermarket
At Plastic Components, Inc., we're proud to be a leading plastic vehicle parts and accessories provider dedicated to supporting the thriving automotive aftermarket and vehicle upfitting industry. Based in Northern Indiana, we specialize in delivering high-quality, custom thermoformed plastic parts designed to meet your needs.
Unparalleled Expertise
With over 40 years of experience in thermoforming, our dedicated team has the knowledge and skills to take your ideas from concept to reality. We pride ourselves on our ability to design, engineer, and create custom thermoformed plastic solutions that not only meet but often exceed our customers' exact specifications.
Prototype Development
We know that with relatively small product volumes compared to OEM production, aftermarket companies need efficient prototype development to maintain profitability. Unlike other forming processes including steel stamping or plastic injection molding, we can quickly create thermoformed prototypes. Prototypes can often be supplied in various plastic materials for testing and product review. If you provide a solid model, we can often 3D print a scaled version of your part design for preliminary product and cost review discussions.

Durable and Stylish
Our custom thermoformed plastic parts are not only stylish but also incredibly durable. Whether you're looking for interior components like instrument panels, door panels, partitions, and headliners or exterior components such as fenders, bumpers, wheel skirts, housings, and shrouds, our engineering team can recommend materials right for the application.
