Core Molding Technologies, Inc.CMT
Materials

Produces custom thermoset and thermoplastic structural parts, assemblies, sheet molding compound, and tooling for OEM programs across transportation, powersports, building, and industrial markets. Most revenue comes from molded products, with manufacturing integrated across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Manufactures custom engineered-plastic components, assemblies, and tooling for OEM programs across medium- and heavy-duty trucks, powersports, building products, industrial, and utility applications. Its North American platform combines sheet molding compound with thermoset and thermoplastic molding, machining, water-jet cutting, assembly, priming, and selective painting. Plants in the United States, Mexico, and Canada serve program-based production schedules.

Earns most revenue from molded products, while tooling revenue is tied to customer molds and assembly equipment. Competes partly by replacing heavier metal or concrete assemblies with plastics suited to lower-volume applications. Demand depends on concentrated OEM customers, cyclical truck and powersports markets, short schedule visibility, capacity utilization, input costs, and cross-border manufacturing in Mexico and Canada.
