About Cynergy:
Tim Hodgins, owner
of Cynergy Composites, ended a career in field sales to pursue
his genuine love of automobiles. He has now set himself on a
path of excellence, through relentless hard work and the creation
of top quality products. Tim spent several years as a valuable
team member on fellow Canadian Al Billes' racing team, while
also working on his degree in Business Administration / Automotive
Marketing at Georgian College in Barrie, Ontario.
Tim's early years
were spent under the watchful eye of Joe Van Overbeek, owner
of Joe Van Overbeek Race Car Bodies, where he learned and honed
his skills. In 1999, Tim recognized his need to stretch further
by becoming an entrepreneur, and formed Cynergy Composites
Inc. He acquired an old shop, and started producing his product
line. Like any first time parent, he put in countless hours and
got little sleep. While mastering the delicate and time-consuming
methods of working with composites, he made his fair share of
mistakes. In an effort to perfect the "Carbon Fiber Laminate,"
Tim eagerly learned as much as possible about highly complex
composites. Hodgins has several hours of classes in composite
technology, mold-making, and he now offers the lightest and most
structurally sound parts available in the performance racing
market.
2004 was Cynergy's
breakout year in the performance-racing world. With the
purchase of Murray Anderson's wild '67 Camaro Pro Mod body, Hodgins
put himself in the spotlight at the 2004 PRI show. He states,
"Having the '67 on display at PRI got us a lot of
international exposure. I had been in business making composite
parts for five years, but the exposure at PRI took the company
to a totally different level. It's a challenge each and every
day, but I have a great bunch of guys that help make it happen.
Without them it would be real tough." Having outgrown
their modest surroundings, Cynergy Composites moved into its
new buildings at the end of 2003 in Strathroy, Ontario. Cynergy
Composites now supplies parts to the leading chassis manufacturers
in the world, including Tim McAmis, Jerry Haas, G-Force Race
Cars, Tommy Mauney and Skinny Kid Race Car Facilities. Cynergy
is also the #1 builder of super stock parts for Ray Barton, Mandel
Race Cars, and MPR Race Cars. With a full-time staff of five,
Cynergy Composites will continue to create superior carbon fiber
products, as well as provide an expanded line of products for
the performance racing industry.
