Automotive & EV Manufacturing in Sterling Heights

Stellantis' Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) builds Ram 1500 pickups and, in 2025, celebrated the production of its two millionth truck. The plant's milestone underscores Sterling Heights' ongoing demand for high-performance materials that enhance manufacturing efficiency and reliability. Materials used include UHMW for wear strips, acetal for bushings, and oil-resistant ABS or HDPE guards that help conveyors and assembly fixtures run longer between service intervals. Polycarbonate (PC) machine guards improve visibility and impact resistance on the line. Interstate Plastics carries all of these materials and supports local Tier 1s and integrators with quick-turn, cut-to-size, tolerance-controlled blanks, as well as material selection guidance for fixtures and guarding.

Defense & Ground Systems in Warren—Sterling Heights

General Dynamics Land Systems' headquarters in Sterling Heights and the U.S. Army DEVCOM Ground Vehicle Systems Center at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren anchor a large defense engineering cluster. Applications include lightweight armor components, sealed electrical enclosures, and test-rig wear parts. Materials such as PEEK, Ultem (PEI), glass-filled nylon, and impact-resistant polycarbonate offer stiffness-to-weight advantages and chemical/temperature resistance for vehicle prototypes and test equipment. Interstate Plastics provides traceable sheet, rod, and tube with machining options that meet tight GD&T requirements common in defense R&D.

Robotics & Automation in Rochester Hills and Macomb County

Regional automation teams, supported by nearby FANUC America's headquarters in Rochester Hills, use UHMW and PTFE for low-friction transfer points, acetal (POM) for precision wear components, and PETG or polycarbonate for light-weight safety guarding. For EOAT (end-of-arm tooling), carbon-fiber plate alternatives and machinable engineering plastics reduce mass and cycle time. Interstate Plastics supplies these materials in flat stock cut to print, tight-tolerance rod for turned parts, and clear panels for ANSI/OSHA-compliant guards.

Food & Confectionery Packaging in Clinton Township

Confectionery and packaging facilities in neighboring Clinton Township, such as Sanders & Morley Candy, benefit from FDA-compliant UHMW, HDPE, and acetal for conveyors, guides, and star wheels. Clear PETG or PC machine windows improve line-of-sight while resisting cleaning chemicals. Our team helps facilities like this specify USDA-compliant materials and provides cut-to-size change parts to reduce downtime during sanitation cycles.

E-Commerce & Parcel Handling in Shelby Township and Along Mound Road

Regional fulfillment and parcel hubs, such as the Amazon facility in Shelby Township, utilize UHMW liners and chute segments to minimize friction and energy consumption in their sortation systems. Impact-resistant ABS and UHMW/HMW-PE hold up to repetitive handling, while anti-static grades help control dust and ESD in scanners and diverters. Interstate Plastics is an expert in material handling and stocks UHMW sheet in multiple formulations (including FDA, static-dissipative, and oil-filled). We can machine radius edges and countersinks for fast installs.

Medical & Laboratory Plastics in Macomb County

Healthcare providers, such as Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township, rely on chemical-resistant plastics for carts, splash guards, and fixtures. PVC and polypropylene (PP) resist disinfectants; acrylic and PC provide clear barriers; PTFE and PEEK serve in sterilizable custom components and lab fixtures. Interstate Plastics can supply validated materials with certs and offer CNC machining for small-batch clinical and lab parts.
