What Lakeview Industries, Inc. does

Lakeview Industries, Inc. is a privately held, family- and woman-owned custom component manufacturer founded in 1976 and headquartered at 2100 Commerce Drive in Carver, Minnesota. The company designs and produces flexible components and converted engineered materials for OEM customers across nine vertical markets: agriculture equipment, automotive, construction equipment, electronics, HVAC, lawn and garden, medical, power generation, and recreational vehicles. Its flagship capability is full-service material converting — flatbed and rotary die cutting, slitting, waterjet cutting, flash cutting, kiss cutting, adhesive laminating, and skiving — supplemented by custom injection and compression molding of rubber and plastic parts, extrusion, and Stratasys PolyJet/FDM 3D printing for rapid prototyping with multi-durometer single-print builds.

Underlying the converting capability is a wide materials portfolio spanning silicone, EPDM, SBR, polyurethane, neoprene, nitrile rubber, Viton, TPE, natural rubber, LDPE, HDPE, polycarbonates, nylon, and polyester. Lakeview holds Preferred 3M Converter status, giving it preferred access to 3M's VHB tape, Heat Activated Tape System (HATS) tape, and other pressure-sensitive adhesive materials used in automotive and industrial bonding and sealing applications. The company is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485, the latter qualifying it for medical device OEM work, and holds a National Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) certification through WBENC.

Lakeview operates a B2B enterprise field sales model in which engineering personnel engage OEMs directly via 'Talk to an Engineer' and 'Contact Us' calls-to-action, framing the relationship as consultative design-in rather than transactional supply. Pricing is quote-based per project, with quotations valid for 60 days and pricing tied to current material costs (with a contractual right to adjust for cost increases); new customers must supply bank and trade references. Revenue is generated from three streams: custom component manufacturing, precision material converting services, and assembly/kitting services that consolidate multiple parts into single SKUs. Commercial distribution is domestic US only, with named enterprise customers including Bobcat Company, Fastenal, Truth Hardware, Nuaire, Viper Motorcycle Company, and Hoffman Engineering, several of whom have multi-decade relationships with the company.
