# Custom Part Fabrication for Agriculture & Heavy Truck OEMs
## Custom Thermoforming and Die Cutting for Agriculture & Heavy Truck Applications
Agricultural and heavy-duty equipment operate in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Components must withstand vibration, impact, chemicals, dirt, moisture, and constant use, without driving up tooling costs or slowing production.
**ICP partners with OEMs in agriculture and heavy truck manufacturing to produce custom thermoformed components, built to withstand demanding conditions.** When injection molding tooling does not align with volume or part size, thermoforming offers a practical path to scalable manufacturing.
Our full services for OEMs include:
- Heavy gauge thermoforming and vacuum forming
- Flexible material fabrication (plastics, thermoplastics, rubbers, and foams)
- Die-cut gaskets using flexible materials
- Manufacturability review and analysis
Our team works closely with OEMs to support new equipment builds and existing part optimization.
## Trusted by...
## Testimonials
ICP has always supported us, from transferring parts from an underperforming supplier to providing material suggestions and helping us correct a quality issue.
They are always there whenever we call and their answers and suggestions always arrive promptly. This is one supplier I never have to worry about!
###### Sr. Supplier Development Engineer

Over the many years that we have worked together, ICP has provided us with cost saving initiatives and innovative solutions to problems. They have come through for us many times when we have needed a solution with very little time to react.
From the friendly sales group to the hard working production staff, I have always enjoyed working with the team at ICP. We have worked well together and I consider many of them to be friends.
###### Plastics Engineering Manager
Powersports Customer
Industrial Custom Products has been our go-to for thermoformed parts for the past eight years. As a manufacturer of specialized equipment for measuring building airtightness, we require tight tolerances and a trusted partner who can help maintain consistency over time. ICP has excelled at handling our needs and asks the right questions to keep our production running smoothly. Given the complexity of our products, issues are bound to arise, but ICP’s ability to quickly adapt and resolve problems has been a tremendous benefit that other thermoformers have not been able to match.
More recently we have utilized the die cutting expertise of ICP on a variety of adhesive-backed gaskets. ICP has done an excellent job with the entire process from fast turnaround on quotes to delivering high- quality parts on time. We look forward to working with ICP for years to come.
###### Operations Manager

## Why Thermoforming for Agriculture & Heavy Truck Manufacturing?
Agricultural and heavy truck equipment demands components that are rugged, repeatable, and built to perform in real-world conditions.
Thermoforming is a great fit for OEMs because it supports:
- **Large, contoured components**
- **Parts exposed to dirt, chemicals, moisture, and temperature swings**
- **Lower tooling costs during early production or prototyping**
- **Weight reduction over metal fabricated components**
For many OEMs, thermoforming provides durability with the flexibility needed to manage cost and production volume.
## Example Applications for Agriculture & Heavy Truck
ICP fabricates a wide range of components. The following are common examples, not a complete list.
**If your component is not listed here, it may still be a strong fit for thermoforming. ICP works closely with OEM teams to evaluate applications beyond standard use cases.**

Consoles
Covers
Dampeners (Noise and Vibration)
Doors
Engine Gaskets
Fenders
Filtration Products
Guards
Headliners
Heat Dissipative Products
Heat Foils
Housing Gaskets

### Case Study: Airport Rescue Fire Truck
A company that creates airport rescue fire trucks needed to cut truck weight in order to hit their acceleration goals, allowing firefighters to get to crash sites as quickly as possible to save lives. Before coming to ICP, the customer floated a few ideas for weight distribution. Larger engine? No, too bulky and expensive. Store less water? Not an option – the trucks need all the water they can carry.
We suggested reducing the weight of the truck itself, so that they wouldn’t have to sacrifice engine quality or water storage, yet still achieve faster acceleration.
Project results:
Greatly reduced vehicle weight
Exceeded acceleration goals
Easily repeatable fabrication process

## Engineering Support and Review for Manufacturability
ICP doesn't design products from scratch. Instead, we do something more valuable for OEMs.
**Our engineering teams actively review existing designs to identify opportunities to improve manufacturability, material selection, durability, and cost.** This review can apply at the part level, assembly level, or across an entire product section.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### Can thermoforming replace metal components in heavy equipment?
In many cases, yes.
Thermoformed plastics can replace metal components when corrosion resistance, dent resistance, or complex geometry is required. In agricultural and heavy truck applications, plastic parts often hold up better than metal in wet, dirty, or chemically exposed environments.
Thermoforming also supports custom color formed directly into the part, eliminating painting and reducing secondary processing. ICP evaluates each application to determine whether replacing metal with plastic improves durability, performance, and total value.
### Are thermoformed parts durable enough for agricultural and heavy-duty environments?
**Yes.** Thermoformed components can withstand vibration, impact, dirt, moisture, and temperature swings.
Durability depends heavily on material selection and part design. ICP works with OEMs to select plastics engineered for industrial environments, including exposure to chemicals, UV, and constant use. When designed correctly, thermoformed parts can perform reliably in demanding field conditions.
### Can ICP assist with design and prototyping?
Yes — our engineering team provides design-for-manufacturability feedback, material selection, and rapid prototyping services.
### How large of a part can ICP thermoform?
We can form sheets up to 8 ft × 10 ft and 40 inches deep, with material thickness up to 0.500 inches. Most of the parts we form are on average of 36”x48”
### What tolerances can ICP Meet?
Tolerances are dependent on design, size, and material for the part. Please contact us for tolerance standards.
### How fast can you deliver parts?
Prototype tooling in as little as 3–5 weeks, with scalable production scheduling to meet OEM delivery requirements.
### What happens after I submit the form on this page? Am I locked into anything?
After you submit your information, our team will review your response and reach out for further follow-up, typically via email. Submitting a request for quote does not bind you to anything – we take it as you reaching out to explore your options.
Please note this form is not meant for solicitations. Solicitations will be ignored.
### Do You Offer Injection molding services?
**No.** We utilize thermoforming and vacuum forming processes. However – just because your part is currently produced using injection molding doesn't necessarily mean that thermoforming might not be a better solution for your specific application. If you're unsure, we encourage you to submit our request a quote form. If we end up not being the right fit, we can help match you with one of our injection molding partners.
### Do You Offer 3D printing services?
**No.** We utilize thermoforming and vacuum forming processes. 3D printing is occasionally used for early stage part design to verify fit and function, and then moves over to Thermoforming for production.
### What production volumes make thermoforming a good option?
Thermoforming is typically a strong fit for low to mid production volumes (up to 10,000 units).
