Composite and precision machining manufacturer serving aerospace and industrial sectors
General Plastics & Composites manufactures composite components, machined parts, and assemblies using SolidWorks, SAP, and CNC/Fanuc tooling. The company is actively scaling aerospace production—capital investment prioritization and new product introduction are live projects—while managing classic manufacturing pain points: setup-time reduction, quality conformance, and inventory control. The hiring mix skews heavily toward manufacturing (14 roles) with smaller engineering (4) and support teams, typical of a production-focused shop in steady growth mode.
