Maier USA has a dedicated Research & Development team with decades of experience in both the Plastic Thermoforming and
Powersports Industries. While Maier Manufacturing mold-making methods are a closely-guarded trade secret, their end products
speak of the quality craftsmanship that is put into all Maier products from the start.
Maier's thermoforming process offers high quality products with the strength to endure the extreme conditions they encounter.
The thermoforming process consists of three primary steps: 1) heating of a thermoplastic sheet, 2) stretching the thermo-
plastic
through vacuum force to conform to a mold's contours, and 3) cooling the formed part until the molecular structure
of the plastic is frozen in the desired shape.
Once a part has been thermoformed, Maier's CNC Routing Department receives it. Maier utilizes today's newest 3 & 5 axis
robotic routers to trim the product and insert mounting holes and louvers. Designed for precision, these advanced
computer
controlled machines enable Maier Manufacturing to produce consistent high quality products.
Maier uses a proprietary thermoplastic olefinic elastomer (TPO), specifically designed for our applications. This high-impact
polypropylene alloy delivers a high-gloss finish with strength characteristics capable of enduring extreme weather
and
temperature conditions. Maier plastics are UV-stablized, resistent to chemicals and avaliable in a wide array
of colors and films.

Maier Manufacturing recycles all scrap materials as part of the Maier Green initiative.
No plastic is dumped or sent to land-fill.
