Today CORE operates multiple manufacturing locations and is proud to maintain strong relationships with nearly every commercial truck manufacturer in North America. FEATURED TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS Hoods Roofs Fender Extensions Sunvisors Splash Guards Air Deflectors Cab Extenders Engine Covers Shielding APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS DURABILITY STRENGTH Composites are known for durability due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to chemicals and corrosives. This makes composites an ideal choice for many demanding applications that experience heavy loading and fatigue cycling in harsh environments, typical of applications in this industry. Composites have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than most steel and aluminum alloys. Composites can also be tailored to add strength where needed without the need for additional components or support structures. LOWER COST THROUGH COMPOSITES Avoid continued high cost increases from the steel and other industries by development of or conversion to lower cost composite materials, which are shielded from the volatile economic drivers that can affect steels and specialty alloys. CORE's expertise includes balancing the tooling and startup costs of a program with ongoing production costs, to help you select the optimum combination for your program, no matter its characteristics.
