A family-owned custom molder in Marshall, Michigan — still making the parts we started with, just with better tools and better chemistry than we had in 1982.
Comcast Urethane Corporation was founded by Jim Baldwin in 1982 in Marshall, Michigan, as a contract molder of integral-skin urethane parts, with an initial focus on industrial and agricultural equipment. The original shop had 1 mix head, 2 employees, and was a foundry on the edge of town.
We're still family-owned and still on the same site — operating in a 16,000+ square foot facility with three high-pressure injection machines, five low-pressure injection machines, machine capabilities from 5 to 100 lbs per minute, a dedicated RIM line, and a state-of-the-art pentane blowing room operating under Michigan Title V air permits. Operational protections and redundancies are built into our processes throughout. Most of our current customers have been with us for more than a decade.
What's changed: the mixing is metered and monitored. The chemistry library has grown from one to more than a dozen formulations. And 350+ active parts in production. The customer base has expanded from industrial equipment into medical devices, automotive, furniture, recreation, and wheel chocks, and pentane-blown foam production for select applications.

Your first conversation won't be with a salesperson. It will be with a process engineer who has molded your kind of part before.
If your design will fight the mold, we'll tell you before you spend money on tooling. If integral skin isn't the right answer for your part, we'll tell you that too.
Every part number has a material specification. Parts are made to those standards from first run through production. Material certificates are received from our suppliers on every shipment.
One facility. One team. Every part molded here, not brokered out. If it ships from Comcast Urethane, it was made in Marshall.
Comcast Urethane is a working shop. The people pouring, inspecting, and shipping your parts have been doing this for years — some for decades. That continuity is not incidental. It's how we hold tolerances, catch problems before they ship, and build relationships that outlast any individual order.
