Defense Injection Molding for Mission-Critical Applications

Allegheny is proud to support our nation’s armed forces, national security and defense capabilities with advanced defense injection molding solutions.

We manufacture high-performance thermoplastic components for demanding defense applications across a variety of sectors including: vehicle components, protective equipment, aircraft and aerospace applications, munitions, counter measures, submarine and naval applications.

Defense injection molding presents unique challenges, from accelerated part development and production timelines to strict regulatory, material and performance requirements. Our team at Allegheny works closely with customers to solve complex part design and material challenges while delivering precision injection molded components within your requirments. In addition to ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications, Allegheny is ITAR registered and compliant. As your partner, we bring the controls and manufacturing expertise defense applications require.

The advanced properties of the high-temperature, high-performance polymers we specialize in make them an excellent fit for defense industry applications. We are also always working to expand our offerings and expertise in material science, to keep pace with the ever-changing industry demands. One example of our new materials technology is thermoplastic composite injection over-molding, or TPC-IOM. It combines selectively placed, high-strength thermoplastic composite (TPC) with the efficiency and complex geometry-capability of injection over-molding (IOM).

CMMC Coming Soon

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a U.S. Department of Defense standard that ensures contractors and suppliers protect government information.

It establishes a set of verified cybersecurity practices required to handle Controlled Unclassified Information and Federal Contract Information. At Allegheny Performance Plastics, we recognize the importance of strong cybersecurity practices and are actively aligning our systems and processes with CMMC requirements to support our Defense Industry customers. We are currently progressing through the certification process and expect to achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance by October 2026.
