Plastic Automotive Parts and Components

From high-end sports cars to your everyday minivan, plastics have revolutionized the automotive industry.  Sonoco works with automotive OEMs to develop innovative injection molded plastic parts and components that reduce weight and fuel costs, while increasing performance and safety.

Lightweight Plastic Parts for Automotive Heavyweights

Plastic parts and components are known to reduce costs and boost efficiencies in many industries – but nowhere are the advantages of plastics more evident than in the automotive industry. Plastics offer increased fuel efficiency, improved corrosion resistance, greater design flexibility, superior durability, higher performance and lower costs. Remarkably malleable, plastics are also strong enough to hold their structure and shape. In fact, plastics now constitute approximately half of the total parts in today’s cars and trucks. 

From concept to completion, Sonoco’s experienced team of industrial plastics experts provides comprehensive plastic injection molding and extrusion services encompassing the entire project life cycle including:

•    Market and consumer insights
•    Ideation and innovation
