Plastics Sheet Metal Fabrication in Canada
When metal is too heavy, too conductive, or not chemically inert, machined plastics take over, and Canada has both a deep plastics industry and the petrochemical feedstock behind it. Most products with a metal skin start as a flat sheet, and Canada's fabrication base of nearly eight thousand fabricated-metal manufacturers turns them into finished parts close to home.
The capability below reflects qualified Canadian shops that handle sheet metal fabrication in plastics.
