Exceptional Reliability

All of our production tooling is meticulously maintained by our skilled in-house tool and die makers. This in-house capability gives us full control over the design, fabrication, and ongoing upkeep of the components that are critical to the extrusion process. By working closely with our production teams, our tool and die makers are able to monitor the condition of tooling in real-time, identifying signs of wear, stress, or damage well before they impact product quality or lead to costly downtime. This proactive approach allows us to schedule maintenance or make adjustments as needed, ensuring uninterrupted production and consistent output.

Added Value – Custom Plastic Tubes

From drilling, notching, and chamfering to tape and Velcro application, we offer a number of in-line and off-line finishing processes. Our capabilities are limitless and by utilizing our fabrication services you can eliminate the need to go to a third party or do the work yourself. We can meet your most specific product requirements.

Material Information

With a versatile extrusion manufacturing facility and extensive material knowledge, we are fully equipped to run a wide range of thermoplastics. We have built a strong reputation for our expertise in extruding high-performance materials such as PETG, CAB, and CAP, but we are not limited to them!

If you have a project involving a different material, we encourage you to contact us—we have the experience and flexibility to support your needs and deliver high-quality results across a broad spectrum of plastic resins.

Sustainability

Transforming by-products into new products is a key element of our manufacturing process. We are dedicated to recycling non-conforming products as part of our ongoing efforts to minimize our carbon footprint. Therefore, a significant portion of our product lines can be manufactured from Post-Industrial Recyclate (PIR). This recyclate is derived from by- products of the plastics industry, providing a sustainable and practical alternative to virgin materials.

What is Co-Extrusion?

Co-Extrusion is the process of extruding a product composed of two or more thermoplastics. It allows for a product to have unique characteristics such as color striping, half-circumference coloration, total encapsulation, or multiple-durometers. This process can be applied to both custom plastic tubes and profile extrusions to create half-white, half-clear shields for the lighting industry, narrow windows for viewing protected products, or grippers and living hinges for flexible applications.

When there are special requirements regarding a product’s appearance or material makeup, a co-extrusion can be the ideal solution.
