It is myFM’s Local Manufacturing Week Showcase presented by Premium Transportation, and today we are featuring Cynergy Composites in Strathroy. The manufacturer makes high performance carbon fibre parts for car companies, race teams and many others around the world.
Owner Tim Hodgins says he was on a professional race car team when he was a teenager and he was blown away by how light and strong these racing bodies were…so he gave up his day job, driving his own race car to start a new business that we now know as Cynergy Composites.
He told myFM it was a lot of work making the transition, but ultimately it was a great decision, and he now loves what he gets to do every day.
Hodgins says in addition to all the parts they make for racing, they do a lot of prototype parts for GM and Ford and aftermarket and custom light weight carbon fibre parts for race teams and others.
According to Hodgins, business is thriving and they even plan on expanding in the fall.
