Cmt Materials

CMT Materials, Inc. focuses on the plug assist and tooling material needs of the thermoforming industry. We listen. We draw upon our knowledge in materials and provide the best solutions that meet the requirements. As a result, we've become the world's leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of high performance tooling materials to the industry. Our product line includes syntactic and solid polymer materials available in a variety of sizes in the form of rod, sheet or block. We offer custom casting operations for large or difficult to form plugs and custom cuts to ensure customer operations remain as efficient as possible. These products are used to reduce starting gauge thickness to minimize plastic waste. Thinner plastic means faster cycle and startup times - higher output at lower energy costs. Optimized plug materials minimize the chance of plug mark, increase product clarity/transparency and allow for higher crush strength. Established in 1998, CMT recently expanded to include direct warehousing and sales operations in Europe. We also maintain a network of sales partners around the world. CMT specialists provide assistance with material selection for plug assist/tool board needs, design ideas, machining/processing guides and instructions for working with syntactic foam. The company is constantly developing new materials to meet the critical needs of the thermoforming industry. CMT Materials is a division of Globe Composite Solutions, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ESCO Technologies.
