Recently Boundless Design visited Form Tec in Martinsville, Indiana while meeting with several like-minded folks also from Morgan County. Several like-minded Morgan County residents meet from time to time including BD to discuss how to improve key aspects within our surrounding community. Our last meeting was hosted by Bill Shields at Form Tec, at the conclusion of our meeting, Bill gave a few of us a personal tour of Form Tec.

Form Tec Plastics, Inc. brings over thirty-five years experience to the thermoforming industry. With their group of designers and engineers, they can perform product design, mold making, prototyping and volume production, all in-house. Form Tec Plastics, Inc. is the only manufacturer in the world that both forms and post-coats polycarbonate - at a quality and design level that is demanded by today’s : Championship Race Teams, Heavy Equipment Manufacturers, Marine Performance Builders, Custom Designers, Military & Safety Contractors, Helmet Manufacturers and many more.

A family business started by William and Jacki Shields — Form Tec, Inc. began making their patented Silhouette Fairing System for motorcycles. This acrylic fairing was an immediate success, forever changing the motorcycle windscreen field. Using years of experience, Form Tec, Inc. expanded from forming acrylic parts (for all types of industry) and general vacuum forming of all plastics, to include the forming of polycarbonate optically correct. Polycarbonate, the world’s strongest optical plastic, is difficult to work with (to form optically correct) and the surface readily scratches. To address both issues, Form Tec introduced the SHIELDS® line of optically formed polycarbonate, protected with their exclusive SUPERCOAT™ The combination of strength and clarity with abrasion and chemical resistance levels near that of glass, make SHIELDS® windshields highly demanded. SHIELDS® products are used in many industries; from lightweight face-shields to 3/4” thick monolithic windshields. SHIELDS® products can be found worldwide, serving the needs of customers that demand optical quality, protection, innovative engineering, and satisfying customer service, hard-coat and often their permanent ANTI-FOG coating.

During BD’s visit at Form Tec we gained a true appreciation for Form Tec, Inc. and the products and services they provide especially as a local company. Thank You, Bill & Jacki Shields.
