About BLG

Brief History Of BLG

We are a Canadian-based company founded in 2000. We have more than 50,000 square metres of office space and manufacturing facility in Shanghai and Jiangsu China with more locations in Canada and the US. Our focus has always been to make the best fiberglass products and commit to implementing ideal solutions while offering the customer the highest standard of service, product selection, quality, and value.

What IATF 16949 Certification Covers

IATF 16949 is the quality management standard built specifically for automotive parts manufacturers and their supply chains. Its purpose is to increase customer satisfaction by improving system and process quality, identifying problems and risks in production processes and supply chains, removing their sources, and taking the appropriate preventive and corrective measures. Holding this certification means BLG’s manufacturing processes are held to that standard, not just the finished part.

• Improve system and process quality
• Increase customer satisfaction
• Careful examination of systems
• Regular updates on projects
• Prompt and timely results

Under this certification, BLG produces components including fenders, truck roofs, cowl panels, engine covers, cooling modules, door surrounds, battery boxes and exterior trims for the automotive supply chain, alongside the marine, medical, wind and oil and gas parts covered elsewhere on this site.

Our Six Manufacturing Processes

BLG runs six fiberglass and composite manufacturing processes, and matches each project to the process that fits its volume, tolerance and finish requirements.

• Hand lay-up (FRP) – low volume, large or complex parts, used for marine hulls, tanks and custom housings.
• Spray-up – open-mold parts where thickness is specified by the customer, used in transportation, marine and recreation.
• Resin transfer molding (RTM) – closed mold, two finished faces, repeatable dimensions, used for automotive panels and medical housings.
• Light RTM (LRTM) – closed mold at a lower tooling cost than full RTM, used for mid-volume panels and covers.
• Sheet molding compound (SMC) – high volume, tight tolerance, compression molded, used for automotive structural and cosmetic parts.
• Vacuum forming / thermoformed plastic – thin-wall plastic parts with fast tooling, used for enclosures, trays, covers and trim.

Every process listed here runs under the same IATF 16949 certified and ISO 9001 certified quality system, so the process changes but the quality standard does not.

From Drawing to Delivered Part

Not every project starts with a manufacturing process in mind. Some start with a drawing, a sketch, or a part that needs to be reverse-engineered. BLG takes a project from that starting point through pattern development, mold creation, the molding process that fits the part, and secondary finishing, to a delivered component, with one team managing the project end to end instead of separate pattern, tooling and finishing shops. That full workflow, and the value-added services behind it, is covered on our custom fiberglass fabrication page.

Quality on Every Order

Every part built at BLG runs through the same quality system, whether it is a single prototype panel or a production run of thousands of identical automotive covers. That is the point of holding both IATF 16949 certified and ISO 9001 certified status instead of one or the other: ISO 9001 covers the general quality management system, and IATF 16949 adds the automotive-specific requirements on top of it. A buyer who needs FRP parts for a non-automotive application still gets the benefit of that stricter standard, because BLG does not run a separate, lighter process for work outside the automotive supply chain.
