If you build electronics in the Pacific Northwest, you know the secret: the part itself is rarely the hard part. The hard part is getting the right part, at the right time, in the right finish, without turning your schedule into confetti.
This is especially true in the world of custom plastics and metal, where demand is rising, capabilities are diverging, and supply chains are shifting faster than ever.
MaRCTech2’s Custom Plastics & Metal suite isn’t just a list of services; it’s a stability anchor for engineers, OEMs, and manufacturers across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia.
Still the most sought-after category for housings, brackets, knobs, enclosures, and everything in between. Miniaturization and ruggedization push demand even higher—especially in PNW industries like outdoor gear, marine tech, and aerospace.
PNW Example:
A Washington-based outdoor gear company needed rugged, waterproof housings for trail-monitoring sensors.
Frequent design tweaks due to moisture, temperature variability, and uneven terrain required rapid, short-run molding and tool adjustments.
Ideal for prototypes, low-to-mid runs, and any project where teams aren’t ready to commit to tooling. Essential for fast-moving startups and R&D groups.
With the Northwest growing in EV infrastructure, aerospace, and industrial automation, sheet metal enclosures, brackets, and frames are in high demand.
PNW Example:
An Oregon-based EV charging station OEM required sheet-metal housings and precise tube bending for outdoor installations. Keeping work local reduced lead times and improved service responsiveness.
Capacitive switches, touchscreens, backlighting, in-mold decorating, and printed electronics are the new differentiators for modern devices.
PNW Example:
A Seattle-area marine IoT startup needed compact touch assemblies with waterproof backlighting for salt-air environments, a complicated hybrid build without the right partners.
PNW Example:
A Northwest industrial automation firm needed turnkey assemblies combining extrusions, molded shells, sheet-metal chassis, keypads, and graphic overlays. No single supplier could handle the stack, which is where MaRCTech2 can step in.
Engineers don’t want another spreadsheet; they want a partner who can make the complexity disappear.
Because MaRCTech2 simplifies everything.
