[Lake Oswego, OR] — 4Plastic announced the official USA and Canada launch of its proven filler-free plastic repair process and specialty product range this week, following the completion of a four-year exclusivity agreement with The Boyd Group, one of the world’s largest collision repair operators, with approximately 1,300 locations across the United States and Canada.
Developed, refined, and validated through high-volume collision repair networks over the past three decades, 4Plastic’s technology has demonstrated consistent, repeatable results in real-world production environments. With exclusivity now concluded, the full solution is being introduced to the broader North American collision repair market for the first time, positioning filler-less repair as a scalable, mainstream alternative to traditional cosmetic rebuilding methods.
The 4Plastic range will be available in the United States and Canada through SEM Products. In parallel, discussions are underway with leading global brands to represent and distribute 4Plastic’s multi-patented product portfolio internationally.
4Plastic is also actively advancing ongoing research and product development with key industry partners, focused on closing critical gaps in the products, equipment, and tools required by professional plastic repair technicians. This commitment ensures the technology is supported by a complete, best-practice repair ecosystem enabling consistent outcomes across shops, MSOs, and markets.
Conventional plastic repair approaches that rely heavily on fillers and cosmetic reconstruction. 4Plastic is launching a patented, filler-free technology that expertly restores polypropylene parts through precisely controlled heat, targeted push reshaping, and seamless fusion welding using an automotive-grade material engineered to bond perfectly with the original substrate.
By preserving material integrity and structural behavior, repairs are designed to perform as intended by OEM design, particularly important for modern bumper systems and safety-related plastic components.
“This is not a new or experimental concept,” said Michael LoPrete, Managing Director of 4Plastic. “Four years of exclusive deployment within Boyd Group enabled us to refine, validate, and prove the technology at scale. The solution that originated from Australia, has also been used across leading MSOs in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe in the past decades, and has continued to evolve into an even more advanced system through use at Boyd. We are confident the wider industry is ready for a far easier and more OEM compatible solution that improves repair quality, consistency, and sustainability.”
The launch supports the collision repair industry’s accelerating repair-first strategy reducing unnecessary plastic part replacement, lowering landfill waste, and improving repair economics through reduced material spend and cycle time. As claims volume and work mix fluctuate, the ability to profitably and consistently repair plastic components also helps collision centers protect technician productivity and shop throughput.
By extending the service life of plastic components, 4Plastic’s solution supports repairers, insurers, and industry stakeholders in meeting key economic and environmental objectives while raising the technical benchmark for what “proper plastic repair” looks like at scale.
