Full engineering support, designs and prototype development. Customers such as MGM Brakes purchase conventional aluminum castings, Alto Products has placed an order for a prototype automotive transmission part using our ThermaLite metal matrix composite material, and Paccar Parts purchases conventional aluminum castings for service to Kenworth and Peterbilt.

The company is actively pursuing the automotive aftermarket due to low volumes and high margins.

This market sees a need for increased brake system capability and the excellent thermal numbers we provide are extremely attractive from both a performance and marketing standpoint.
