They are a world-class organization that leads the way by offering quality products backed by outstanding service.

Glastic materials are a cost-effective alternative to high-pressure laminates such as silicone, epoxy, mica or melamine offering exceptional value for your money. These fiberlgass-reinforced plastic materials are lightweight; corrosion resistant; offer outstanding electrical insulation capabilities for low- and medium voltage devices including electronic devices, transformers and switchgear; exhibit high mechanical strength, abrasion and impact resistance; and are easy to fabricate into custom parts for your application.

Rochling Glastic produces materials in a variety of packages from flat sheet laminates to shapes and custom pultrusions including angles, channels, rods, bars and tubes. Due to the fact that their products are easy to machine and fabricate, you can typically get a product you need to fit any requirement or application from standard to custom.
