What SIMONA Boltaron does

SIMONA Boltaron Inc. is a U.S. specialty thermoplastics manufacturer operating as a division of Germany's SIMONA AG under the SIMONA AMERICA Group umbrella. Founded in 1954 in Newcomerstown, Ohio, the company produces rigid thermoplastic sheet and film via extrusion, calendering, and press lamination at a single ~200,000 sq ft facility running one calender line, four extrusion lines, and three laminating presses, employing 120+ people.

The company's core product portfolio centers on the Boltaron 9000 Series and 4000 Series of FAR 25.853-rated aircraft interior thermoplastics, supplemented by the TERREFORM recycled-grade line (minimum 50% recycled content, 24% carbon footprint reduction), the SIMOGLAS clear barrier sheet, the Rigiwall interior wallcovering line, and dozens of specialty grades for chemical processing, medical, holster/tactical, mass transit, radome, and general thermoforming applications. Boltaron was the first thermoplastic sheet supplier to the aviation industry to achieve AS9100 Rev D certification, holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015, and validated its GHG reduction targets with the SBTi in 2025. Differentiated technical features include proprietary UV-C-resistant formulations (9815N, validated with GermFalcon), embedded metallic and true-pearl decorative effects, and the SIMONA Vision Factory 3D configurator for designers.

The business operates as a B2B enterprise field-sales model, selling direct to OEMs, tier-1 aerospace suppliers, and thermoformers through regional sales representatives covering North America, Europe, the Middle East, South America, the UK, Ireland, and Asia, with a parallel retailer/distributor channel for holster materials. Pricing is quote-based with low minimum order quantities and standard custom-color lead times of less than three days; revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales of proprietary sheet stock.
