Interplex Sunbelt
Established in 1980, Interplex Sunbelt has excelled as a custom manufacturer of precision metal stampings and continuous reel-to-reel insert molded assemblies. In-house die design, construction, production and tool maintenance allows the company to service its customer's needs quickly and completely.
Specializing in light to medium gauge (less than .050), tight tolerance, complex parts, Interplex Sunbelt has also been able to grow its expertise into the heavier gauges (.070 - .100) as the market dictates and evolves. Interplex Sunbelt has the ability to offer deep drawn parts as well as in-die tapping for threaded part requirements and in-die welding of round or flat wire, shaped tape and precision metal contacts.
Interplex Sunbelt was one of the first 300 companies worldwide to achieve TS-16949 Certification in December 2003. The achievement was completed a full two years ahead of the new Automotive Industry mandate.
