Performance Composites Inc.

MEDICAL AND RADIOLOGY COMPOSITES MANUFACTURING IN CALIFORNIA

Precision Composites Manufacturing for Medical and Radiology Equipment Across California.

Performance Composites has spent over 40 years building precision fiberglass and composite components for medical and radiology equipment manufacturers across California. Our shop is in Compton, in the heart of Southern California, and we work with medical OEMs and radiology equipment integrators throughout the state. We get into your project early, work through the engineering together, build the tooling ourselves, run production, finish the parts, and ship them ready to install. Everything stays under one roof. No outside vendors, no gaps between teams, no surprises at delivery.

What We Build for Medical and Radiology Equipment Manufacturers in California

Medical and radiology equipment companies across California come to us at every stage of a program. Some are still in development and need a prototype to test. Others have a proven design and need a manufacturing partner who can hold tolerances and keep a production schedule running. Whether your part needs to be lightweight, non-magnetic, chemically resistant, or finished to a Class A cosmetic standard, we have built to those requirements many times over. Here is what our team handles from start to finish:

  • Engineering and Design Support
  • Prototype Development
  • Material Selection Assistance
  • Tooling and Mold Manufacturing
  • Composite Fabrication and Production
  • Precision CNC Machining and Cutouts
  • Hardware Integration and Assembly Support
  • Paint and Surface Finishing
  • Quality Inspection and Verification
  • Custom Fiberglass Medical Fabrication

Composite Parts Built for California Medical and Radiology Environments

Clinical environments are hard on materials. Parts get wiped down daily with strong disinfectants, have to stay completely non-magnetic inside MRI suites, and need to pass imaging energy without any signal interference. And they have to look the part in a clean, well-lit facility. We build to all of those requirements regularly for medical and radiology customers throughout California. Here is what we produce:

  • Custom Medical Composite Parts
  • Radiology Composite Enclosures
  • Fiberglass Medical Equipment Housings
  • Lightweight Medical Composite Solutions
  • Composite Materials for Medical Devices
  • Medical Imaging Composite Components
  • MRI Equipment Enclosures
  • X-Ray Fiberglass Components
  • Medical Device Housings
  • Lightweight Radiology Structures
  • Non-Corrosive Medical Composites

Best Supplier of Corrosion Resistant Composite Materials

Built for long-term performance in demanding environments, our composite products are engineered to resist corrosion, reduce maintenance requirements, and support the reliability of infrastructure and industrial systems.

Why California Medical Companies Keep Choosing Performance Composites

Most composite shops can produce a part. Finding one that builds its own tooling, runs CNC machining in-house, paints and finishes on site, and installs hardware before anything leaves the building is a shorter list. That is how we operate in Compton, and it is why medical manufacturers throughout California have worked with us for years, many of them for over a decade. When something needs to be worked out mid-production, our engineers are a short walk from the shop floor. Problems get caught early and resolved quickly. Here is what working with our team looks like:

  • More Than 40 Years of Manufacturing Experience
  • In-House Tooling Department
  • Internal Mold and Fixture Production
  • Integrated Engineering and Manufacturing Teams
  • Multiple Composite Manufacturing Processes
  • Precision CNC Machining Capabilities
  • Advanced Quality Inspection Systems
  • Cross-Industry Manufacturing Experience
  • Ready-to-Install Component Production
  • End-to-End Project Support

Bring us whatever you have. A finished drawing, a rough sketch, or just a list of performance requirements is enough to start a conversation. Our engineering team will go through it with you, give you a straight answer on what process and materials fit your application, and walk you through realistic expectations on cost and turnaround. We manufacture in Compton and deliver to medical equipment companies throughout California and nationwide.

FAQs: California Medical and Radiology Composite Manufacturers

It depends on what the part is doing. For anything near an MRI system, fiberglass is usually the right call because it is non-magnetic and molds cleanly into complex shapes. Carbon fiber works well when you need X-ray transparency alongside high stiffness and low weight. For structural sandwich panels, we choose between foam, honeycomb, and G10 core based on your load and weight targets. Our engineering team will walk you through the options on your first call, so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.
Yes. Fire retardance is a common requirement for medical equipment used in California hospitals and clinical facilities, and we factor it into the material selection at the start of every applicable project. The resin system and process choices shift depending on the rating your application requires. If your spec sheet calls for UL-94 compliance and you are not certain how to achieve it in composite form, bring it to our team and we will work through it with you.
Yes, and we do it regularly for California medical programs. Threaded inserts, brackets, mounting hardware, and other assembly features are all installed before the part leaves Compton. Our customers are running tight production schedules and do not want to spend floor time fitting out a bare composite shell. The part arrives ready to go directly into their build. We take care of sourcing, installation, and inspection on our end, so that work is already behind you when the crate arrives.
Yes. Painting is done in-house at our Compton facility, which means you are not waiting on a separate vendor before parts can ship. We work with single-stage and two-stage systems and can match an existing color if your product line requires it. Medical equipment is visible, lives in well-lit clinical spaces, and gets cleaned frequently, so surface quality matters. We inspect every painted part before it ships.
Yes. Complex shapes that look like they need to be bonded together from multiple pieces can often be produced as a single part with the right tooling design. Our tooling department in Compton handles that engineering and builds the molds in-house. Single-piece construction removes seam lines, improves structural integrity, and makes finishing to a Class A standard much more straightforward, which is what most California medical equipment housings require.
Yes. Four CNC routers and an Autometric Pattern Cutter run in-house at our Compton facility, so cutouts, openings, mounting hole patterns, and trimmed edges are handled on site and on our schedule. We do not send machining out. Every machined part is dimensionally verified against your drawing as part of our standard quality process, and the records are kept on file for every job we run.
We hold ISO 9001:2015 certification, so our quality process is fully documented, consistently followed, and regularly audited. Material traceability, process records, and dimensional inspection data are maintained for every California medical program we run. If your project calls for additional validation such as first article inspection or coordinate measurement, we incorporate that into your quality plan from the start. The goal is simple: nothing your team receives should ever need to come back.
For most California medical programs, parts leave our Compton facility in ready-to-install condition. Machining, painting, hardware installation, and final inspection are all completed before anything is loaded for delivery. When your receiving team opens the shipment, the part goes directly into the build with no additional processing required. That saves your team real time, reduces your internal labor costs, and removes a category of scheduling uncertainty from your supply chain.
We offer hand layup, spray layup, vacuum infusion, LRTM, silicone bagging, and prepreg manufacturing. The process we recommend depends on your part geometry, required surface finish, production volume, and material spec. Some California medical programs run best with a single method; others benefit from combining two processes on the same part. Our engineers recommend what actually fits your application, not whatever is simplest to schedule on our end.
Our California medical programs range from small precision components a few inches across to large equipment enclosures and structural panels built for full radiology suites. The tooling approach, manufacturing process, and material selection all shift based on the size and performance requirements of each part. Our Compton shop is equipped to handle both ends of that range. If you have a part and are not sure whether it fits what we do, call us and we will give you a direct answer.
