Custom-Extruded Plastic Profiles

Petro can extrude most thermoplastic materials into custom profile shapes, on an ‘as specified’ basis by developing tooling and products to the customer’s specifications. Specialty cut lengths, including angle-cutting, and custom color, post-extrusion fabrication, and tape application are all included as part of the custom capabilities we offer.

NOTE: We have the ability to add double faced tape both foam and gel to virtually any custom profile.

Approximately 50% of our business are custom-extruded plastic products, so we have confidence in our capability to produce your profile to your exact specs. Contact us to get started.
