Applications Solutions
Emergency Vehicles
Emergency vehicles are constantly being upgraded to be faster, more durable, fuel efficient and affordable. When performance plastics are incorporated into the design, they can help reduce weight, noise, and vibration in emergency vehicles. There are many plastic suppliers that manufacture products for ambulances and firetrucks. We also provide materials to OEM’s, which ensures you get the most effective product and correct look when purchasing from Piedmont Plastics.
Trailers
We recognize that trailer manufacturers need materials that are lightweight and durable, while also creating an aesthetically appealing design. Our formulated plastic sheeting is more durable than corrugated fiberboard, but lighter in weight than wood and solid PVC sheet. PolyCor HL is lightweight, tough and abuse resistant due to its fluted ribs that support both surfaces. It's also chemical and water resistant, making it an ideal solution for headliners in trailers. With an experienced business development team that knows our customers and their products, Piedmont Plastics strives to bring you the best and most innovative products in the marketplace for trailer manufacturing.
