Lakeland Plastics manufactures high-quality HDPE extrusions designed to deliver exceptional strength, impact resistance, and chemical stability.
HDPE, or high-density polyethylene, is a highly versatile thermoplastic known for its strength, chemical resistance, and durability. It’s a preferred material in plastic extrusion for applications requiring rigidity and toughness without excessive weight. At Lakeland Plastics, we produce high-quality HDPE extrusions that deliver excellent performance in demanding environments. From industrial profiles and tubing to consumer products, HDPE’s exceptional impact resistance and moisture barrier properties make it a reliable choice for a wide range of applications.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer made from petroleum through the polymerization of ethylene monomers. It features a high strength-to-density ratio and a tightly packed molecular structure, resulting in excellent stiffness, tensile strength, and chemical resistance. Unlike its lower-density counterparts, HDPE maintains rigidity and dimensional stability, making it ideal for extruded profiles that must retain shape and function under stress. Its combination of lightweight performance and durability has made it one of the most commonly used plastics in the extrusion industry.
At Lakeland Plastics, custom HDPE extrusion means more than just shaping a thermoplastic—it’s about creating durable, high-performance, custom solutions for your specific needs. Whether you need simple rods and tubing, complex profiles, or structural components with precise tolerances, our team works closely with you from concept to finished product. While HDPE is ideal for its strength, chemical resistance, and versatility, we also work with a wide range of other thermoplastics—ensuring the right material for every application. From initial design and prototyping to full production, our hands-on, full-service approach ensures your extrusion meets performance, durability, and aesthetic requirements.
Lakeland Plastics offers extensive HDPE extrusion capabilities backed by advanced equipment, in-house tooling, and hands-on engineering expertise. Our capabilities include:
With multiple extrusion lines, advanced cooling and sizing systems, and ISO-compliant quality procedures, Lakeland Plastics can scale from prototype runs to full production volumes. Our hands-on process ensures every HDPE extrusion delivers precise dimensions, long-term durability, and reliable performance for any project or industry.
Friendly people quick loading and overnight parking if your in a pinch at the dock I’d suggest call ahead
Just delivered. The guy that unloaded me was awesome. In and out in 15 minutes. Give that man a raise!
I met with Lakeland Plastics this week. They were very professional to meet with. They were generous with their time and were helpful educating me on the plastics industry. While we weren’t a fit for each other in this instance , I can tell that anyone looking for extrusions would be in great hands. I appreciate the referrals and care they provided me.
Great company to work with, they hold a high standard of quality in the work they do with great communications!
We initially faced challenges with a product that required one side to be white and the other black. The previous process involved painting one side, which was time-consuming and resulted in inconsistent quality. However, discovering Lakeland Plastics was a game-changer for us. Their ability to extrude with one side white and the other black not only eliminated the need for painting but also improved our product quality tenfold.
The team at Lakeland Plastics has been outstanding. Mary at the front desk is a true jack-of-all-trades, always providing the answers we need quickly and efficiently. Mike, the owner, and our salesperson, Phil, along with the entire shipping department, have been incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our partnership.
We highly recommend Lakeland Plastics for their innovative solutions and exceptional customer service.
We have a 40+ year business relationship with Lakeland Plastics. They are a key business partner offering excellent products, communication, and service.
Lakeland Plastics have really exceeded our expectations. Quality work and precise production have helped my buisiness keep moving forward. I highly recommend this company to anyone for any quality product/profile they may need.
Preferential treatment is the standard for all customers at Lakeland, allowing a level playing field for everyone involved. They have worked with us for over 10 years, helping to develop a patented product and providing outstanding customer service throughout. It has been an absolute delight working with honest and caring individuals who not only work toward getting things right the first time, but they work tirelessly at making sure goals are met. We consider Lakeland part of the family, and we highly recommend their attention to detail, top level customer service and exemplary design team.
Lakeland has been arguably one of the best manufacturers I have ever worked with. I came to them with a unique extrusion use case and they were able to help with my design. They managed the project with zero friction, or high added costs. The part quality is quite honestly flawless, meeting my specific use case need. The accessibility to the team is always easy and prompt. I didn’t wait days, or weeks for quotes and was able to get my product produced and to the market in a much shorter time frame than several other mfg’s I contacted quoted. Now my product is sold in over 40 states and two countries and proudly produced in the USA. I know this is a long post and I don’t usually do reviews. However, while I maybe a small fish compared to some of their production levels/ capabilities…..my involvement with Lakeland has felt more like family than being just a number on the balance sheet. They will have my business as long as my industry need exists. Hopefully a very long time. So grateful I found this needle in a hay stack. Especially if it is an extruded product you need….highly recommend giving them a shot.

Choosing how to manufacture a plastic part is a strategic decision that influences budget, lead time, quality, and long term performance. For many programs, the choice comes down to two proven methods: plastic extrusion and injection molding. Both can deliver outstanding results, yet they excel at different types of parts and business cases. Plastic…
