Northstar Engineering is a complete manufacturing facility within an 86,000 square foot complex.

Northstar also does extensive assembly work and has the capabilities to do electronic and strength test on components that have those design requirements.

Northstar's strength is in its ability to take a contract from the start-up phase of engineering/development and add any and all resources required to manage the contract through to its completion. This includes evaluation of all requirements, procurement of materials, fabrication and/or machining, processing, assembly, testing and packaging to customer specifications.

FIT Pallets was formed to address a need and opportunity in the pallet market to provide a light weight, consistent sized, tough and hygienic pallet at a lower cost of ownership than either wood or thermoplastic pallets. It shares its ownership with Plastics Research Corporation.

While the companies have a common ownership, FIT Pallets operates in its own state of the art, 120,000 sq. ft., fully automated facility that utilizes advanced composite technology adopted from military applications. It is the integration of the material science, and process automation that allows the company to provide a world class fiber reinforced thermoset composite pallet.

Preferred Molding Compounds (PMC) is a leading producer of Sheet Molding Compounds. They specialize in producing Low Pressure Molding Compounds, otherwise known as LPMC™. The thickening process of LPMC™ is one of its unique properties and characteristics. PMC compounds contain no earth oxide thickener, and therefore do not thicken chemically, but are thickened physically as a result of "Crystic Impreg Technology". This lack of chemical thickening results in its superior molding and end-use characteristics.

SAAM Technologies "bridges the gap" between "open mold techniques" and "typical SMC production". They have done this by designing Automated Compression Molding Systems (SAAM's) that utilize low pressure, in some cases below 100 psi. SAAM's are specifically designed for use with Low Pressure Molding Compounds (LPMC™).

There are two major cost saving advantages realized by working with low pressure. First, Fabricated Steel Tooling (FST) can be utilized instead of the higher cost tooling normally required in SMC environments. Secondly, when comparing cost between a SAAM System and a typical high tonnage press, the difference is substantial. As a result, the "financial barrier to entry" into the Automated Compression Molding arena is dramatically reduced.
