If you're an OEM that serves the industrial and automotive sectors, you're especially sensitive to the needs and wants of the marketplace. So, you need a plastics manufacturing partner with creative design skills and quick ramp-up capabilities. From sensors to filtration equipment, UPG consistently provides specialized design, assembly, and finishing services of the highest caliber on time and on budget.

UPG engineers have proven experience in leveraging state-of-the-art technologies for new plastic applications and new manufacturing solutions. In the specialty automotive sub-sector, there is a trend toward "mass customization" - techniques that ultimately yield more distinct looking products (e.g. pigmented plastics that give the appearance of metal). Our value-engineered designs and streamlined operations allow us to minimize costs while maximizing throughput of "mass customized" parts, components and assemblies.
