Plastic Extrusion Suppliers - why are we different?
Experience
There are a high number of plastic extrusion suppliers in the marketplace but few that focus solely on bespoke plastic extrusions like we do here at Profile Techniques.
Established over 30 years ago, we have always been a custom profile extruder as opposed to carrying a range of standard products. This makes us the perfect partner to our customers as they get the benefit of an experienced team producing reliable and quality products for them without having to compromise on their design.
Technical Support
As a bespoke plastics extrusions supplier we have risen to many technical challenges, not only as a profile extruder, but in the manufacturing of tubes and other extrusions utilising a huge range of materials, some of which you can view here.
We like to go above and beyond the range of services that a typical plastic extrusions supplier or profile extruder may provide. We engage with our customers so that we fully understand the technical specification, purpose and goals of their design and, if applicable, how the extruded plastic component needs to mate with other parts in the final product assembly.
Project Management
We offer advice and input at the design stage on materials and designs for manufacturability, cost or fit. We manage the tooling production, colour matching of the material, the qualification of parts and, if desired, additional inline or out of line processes to ensure that our customer achieves their optimum product.If you would like to read more about our services in more detail then click here.
Our knowledge as an expert plastics extrusion supplier has been developed over many years, servicing a wide range of industries, using thousands of different compounds going into numerous different environments - challenge our team with your plastic extrusion requirements.
Extruded Plastic Manufacturers
As extruded plastic manufacturers, we make every profile ourselves at our UK factory rather than reselling stock lengths. That means the die, the material blend and the finishing are all matched to your application, and you deal directly with the people running the extrusion lines.
Working with a manufacturer rather than a distributor gives you control over colour, hardness, length and packing, and a direct route to technical answers when a profile needs refining. You can see the range of polymers we run on our plastic extrusion materials page, and the full scope of what we produce under plastic extrusions.
Choosing Between Plastic Extrusion Companies
Plastic extrusion companies vary widely in what they actually do in-house. When you compare suppliers, it is worth asking three questions: who makes and maintains the extrusion tooling, how many materials can they run, and who supports you when a profile needs adjusting after first samples.
At Profile Techniques the answer to all three is us: our own tooling and die design service, a broad materials range, and direct technical support from design through to production runs.
