What Custom Fibreglass Manufacturing does

Custom Fibreglass Manufacturing operates under the brand name SnugTop, designing and manufacturing fiberglass truck caps, camper shells, and toppers from its 5-acre factory in Long Beach, California. Founded in 1959, the company transitioned into truck caps in 1965 with the introduction of an industry-first topper for the original Datsun mini truck. Its products serve three customer segments: individual truck owners seeking cargo protection and aesthetic customization, outdoor enthusiasts requiring gear transport and roof rack compatibility, and commercial/fleet buyers served through a dedicated SnugTop Commercial division.

SnugTop's product portfolio includes seven core cap models (Sport Hi-Liner, Super Sport, Cab-Hi, Xtra Vision, Rebel, Hi-Liner, and Maverick Sport) covering virtually all major truck brands including Ford, Chevy/GMC, Ram, Toyota, Nissan, Jeep, Mazda, Volkswagen, and Isuzu. The company produces nearly 400 product variations, supported by proprietary manufacturing processes including 3D-CAD/CAM mold designs and an automated paint line. Differentiating technology includes the patented POP-OUT LOCK with twist T-handle and dual-lock security, PRO-LOCK systems with optional integration into OEM vehicle key fobs for keyless entry, and OEM factory-matched color finishes. The offering is complemented by partnerships with Thule for integrated roof rack systems and BedSlide for cargo drawer add-ons.

SnugTop operates a hardware sales model, generating revenue through one-time purchases of caps, shells, and accessories. Pricing is quote-based and varies by truck model, cap style, and selected options; the company does not publish public pricing and offers a military discount. Products are sold exclusively through a network of over 100 authorized dealers across the United States (Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, Utah, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri) and Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta), with customers using a dealer locator on the website or requesting quotes online. Custom Fibreglass Manufacturing is a subsidiary of LEER Group, itself part of the diversified manufacturing conglomerate JB Poindexter & Co (JBPCO).
