ATC Manufacturing is a company based in Idaho that specializes in thermoplastic composites for the aerospace and defense industries. Founded in 2004, the company has been a pioneer in the use of thermoplastic composites for aerospace parts and structures. ATC’s two core processes, continuous compression molding (CCM) and stamp forming, enable rapid production of complex composite parts at a fraction of the labor costs associated with traditional thermoset layup and with reduced material waste. The company has long-term agreements with Boeing and works directly with the company and its Tier suppliers. ATC’s focus is on high-rate, cost-saving applications where thermoplastics can shine, such as producing parts at automotive rates. The company is also investing in research to improve the performance characteristics of thermoplastic composites and is collaborating with industry groups to stay ahead of the latest material and process developments.
