Alltec

What Alltec does

Alltec Integrated Manufacturing, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Santa Maria, California, is a precision injection molder specializing in aerospace interior and structural components. The company operates as Clayens Santa Maria, LLC following its January 2025 acquisition by France-based Clayens Group. Alltec is AS9100 and ISO 9001 certified, ITAR registered, and RoHS compliant, supplying components such as Passenger Service Units, Gasper air outlets, call buttons, reading light buttons, plenum caps, PSU panels, and in-fill panels to top-tier airlines, OEMs, and MROs including Boeing, Collins Aerospace, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines.

The company's technical core is in-house vertical integration across the manufacturing lifecycle: mechanical design using ProEngineer CAD/CAM, mold flow analysis, rapid prototyping via SLA, SLS, RIM, CNC, and FDM, rapid and production tooling, precision injection molding, CNC machining of metals and engineering plastics, pad and direct-to-part printing, final assembly, testing, and packaging. Alltec has particular depth in processing specialty materials including Torlon (polyamide-imide) for high-temperature aerospace applications and Magnesium Thixomolding for lightweight structural components, and maintains offshore manufacturing partnerships in China for high-volume production above 1,000,000 units/year.

Alltec runs a sales-led B2B enterprise model with dedicated account representatives and a Director of Aerospace & Defense Business Development. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with tooling fees (50% at order, 50% at sample submission) separate from per-part pricing, Net 30 terms, and a $500 minimum purchase order. Customer tooling is retained by the buyer, reinforcing program-level switching costs. Revenue is generated from custom injection molding production, mold fabrication, engineering and design services, CNC machining, and managed offshore production.

Direct peers

• AIM Aerospace: AIM Aerospace, a subsidiary of HEICO, manufactures injection molded and composite interior components for commercial aircraft, including PSUs, air vents, and seating structures. It is the most direct competitor to Alltec in the aerospace interior plastics space, serving many of the same airline and OEM customers with comparable AS9100-certified processes.
• Piper Plastics: Piper Plastics is a custom injection molder specializing in complex, tight-tolerance parts for aerospace, medical, and industrial customers. Like Alltec, it offers design support, prototyping, and production molding, and is a comparable specialty plastics processor serving regulated aerospace and medical end markets.
• Engineered Plastic Products Corporation: Engineered Plastic Products Corporation is a custom injection molder serving aerospace, medical, and industrial customers with engineering-grade resins and tight-tolerance production. Its vertical mix of injection molding, assembly, and value-added services directly mirrors Alltec's single-source aerospace contract manufacturing model.
• Protolabs: Protolabs is a digital contract manufacturer offering rapid injection molding, CNC machining, and 3D printing services. It overlaps with Alltec on prototyping and low-volume injection molding, though it serves a broader industrial customer base rather than specializing in certified aerospace interior production.

Broad incumbents

• Plastic Omnium (OPmobility): OPmobility (formerly Plastic Omnium) is a global plastics and composites manufacturer with significant aerospace and automotive interior exposure. While primarily an automotive-tier supplier, its aerospace division competes with Alltec for interior and structural plastic components at major OEMs and benefits from greater scale and geographic reach.
• Senior plc: Senior plc is a global aerospace and defense components manufacturer producing engineered plastics, metal, and composite structures. It is a broader incumbent supplying similar interior, seating, and structural parts to the same aerospace OEMs Alltec serves, with deeper resources and global manufacturing footprint.
• HEICO Corporation: HEICO Corporation is a major aerospace aftermarket and components supplier that owns AIM Aerospace, a direct injection molded interior competitor to Alltec. HEICO's broader portfolio of aerospace parts and MRO offerings makes it a broader incumbent shaping competitive dynamics in aerospace interior plastics.
• Magellan Aerospace: Magellan Aerospace is a global tier-one aerospace manufacturer producing structural components, aero assemblies, and special products. While focused on metallic structures and assemblies rather than plastics, it is a broader incumbent competing for similar aerospace OEM spending and partnership opportunities.
• GKN Aerospace: GKN Aerospace, part of Melrose Industries, is a global tier-one supplier of aerostructures, engine components, and transparencies. Its scale, advanced composites capability, and long-standing OEM relationships position it as a broader incumbent with overlap into high-performance plastics and specialty aerospace materials.

Emerging players

• Xometry: Xometry operates an on-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with custom injection molding and CNC machining partners. While not a direct injection molder, it competes for the same custom plastics and aerospace sourcing dollars and represents an emerging digital channel that could pressure traditional contract manufacturers like Alltec.
