Custom Composites and Thermoplastic
Fabrication - Elmore, AL
 Established in 1969, the fiberglass plant in Elmore, Alabama became a part
of Arrowhead in 1994. Serving customers in the Southeastern United States
and the Midwest, the plant is located on 16 acres of ground located 10
miles north of Montgomery, Alabama on Highway 16 just eight miles east
of I-65. The facility consists of 80,000 ft2 under roof with one 30,000
ft2 building dedicated to production of large parts like the one-piece
UPS truck roofs that have been molded at the plant since 1969. With five
semi-tractors and six drop deck flat bed trailers and vans the plant always
meets its commitment to on-time delivery.
Arrowhead’s Southeastern reinforced Plastic Molding Plant specializes
in six primary fiberglass and composite molding processes: Resin Transfer
Molding (RTM), RTM-Lite, hand lay-up, Closed Cavity Bag Molding (CCBM)
and Compression Molding (SMC). Working with our customers and educating
them about the pros and cons of each process helps them select the right
process for their application. Typical part volumes range from 25 parts
per year to 20,000 parts per year.
In conjunction with its fiberglass fabrication and fiberglass part manufacturing
capabilities, the Alabama plant produces most of its own tooling. In
addition, the plant has a great deal of experience in a number of secondary
value adding processes such as bonding aluminum and steel to fiberglass,
assembly, molded-in stiffeners and inserts, post mold baking, packaging,
crating and sandwich panel construction. Molded-in color, finished gel
coat, and grey sanding gel coat (for customer painting) are all finishes
supplied by the plant.
