The future engineers were challenged as summer interns to design a sound deadening cover for HST’s Atom Flashcut Flex machine. Their resulting three-layer sound dampening and absorption cover designed by the students reduced the machine’s noise by 11 decibels, eliminating the need for HST employees to wear ear protection in the facility. As a result of the successful internship project, HST Materials, Inc., a fabricator and die cutter of silicone sponge and dense rubber, foams, plastics and tapes, was awarded the Excellence in Business Innovation Award by the Village of Elk Grove.

For over 28 years, HST Materials, Inc. has credited its success to a blend of engineering, innovation, quality, customer service, safety, charity, and consistency. As our mission statement reads, “HST is committed to timely and attentive customer service, quality products, competitive pricing, and on time delivery. Our goal is to be a valuable partner with our customers to build customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.” Our success has been proven as we have seen growth in 11 out of the past 12 years and double digit growth in seven of those years.

HST Materials provides die-cut parts from a variety of non-metallic materials using the latest servo driven CNC stamping presses, precision kiss-cutting press, rotary, traveling head, and dieless cutting machinery systems. Custom components are produced using your DXF file or we can work from prints. HST Materials is capable of stamping parts as large as 60” Long. Dieless cutting allows us to make parts as large as 4.8’x9.8’.
