About General Plastics & Composites

General Plastics & Composites (GP&C) is a vertically integrated advanced manufacturing company based in Houston, Texas. We engineer, manufacture, machine, mold, and assemble mission-critical composite and hybrid components for customers who demand performance, reliability, and precision.

What makes GP&C different is control. We formulate our own proprietary materials, engineer the manufacturing processes, machine and mold components in-house, and assemble and validate finished products under one roof. That end-to-end capability reduces risk, improves consistency, and allows our teams to solve complex problems faster.

This is a place for machinists and programmers who care about precision, craftsmanship, and doing the job right.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

Machinists and programmers at GP&C work on:

• Part Types: Complex, tight-tolerance components and assemblies
• Production Style: High-mix, repeat programs, and engineering / prototype work
• Typical Tolerances: Tighter than ±.001″ across metals, composites, and hybrids
• Programming & Setup: Setup machinists, senior machinists, and CNC programmers working closely with engineering
• Materials Machined:
  • Plastics
  • Fiberglass composites
  • Metals and alloys
  • Hybrid material components

This is hands-on, technical work where quality and repeatability matter.
