SIGMA Polymer Enclosures:
How we got our start

SPE entered the polymer market in 2016 when SIGMA Corporation acquired Idaho-based Raven Molded Plastic Products. Since then, the division has grown to encompass five locations across the US. In addition to the original Idaho factory, SPE operates manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Colorado, Alabama, and New Jersey. This nationwide presence benefits customers by providing regional manufacturing for regionally specified products, reducing shipping and logistics times and costs, and enabling delivery to customers anywhere in North America in a timely fashion.

SPE’s approach always involves collaboration.

Whether we start with the municipal superintendent or the engineers, we bring the stakeholders together to gain a clear understanding of what the needs are. Because SPE owns and operates US-based manufacturing facilities, we strive to meet any specification with domestic product. We remodel and re-engineer the designs and prototypes until all of the customer needs and concerns are addressed. SPE commonly meets customization requirements such as adding a logo to the meter lids, using a particular color to conform to the American Public Works Association (APWA) color-code system, matching a sidewalk or landscape, or fabricating a lid that will not float. In the latter case, we met a Florida municipality’s requirement by encapsulating rebar for additional weight and drilling holes in the lid to prevent buoyancy. The rebar also functions as a locator device, which makes it easier for the inspectors and readers to find the meters in grassy areas or places with a lot of undergrowth.

We can manufacture virtually any item in polymer, and new products are being developed every week.
