Lakeland Plastics provides top-quality ABS extrusions engineered to provide excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and dependable performance for a wide range of applications.
ABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is a tough, impact-resistant thermoplastic widely used in plastic extrusion for applications that require strength, rigidity, and consistent performance. Its balanced combination of stiffness, resilience, and dimensional stability makes it well-suited for both functional and decorative extruded profiles. Known for its excellent machinability and ease of fabrication, ABS is often chosen when parts must hold tight tolerances, withstand repeated use, and maintain durability in varied environments.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is an engineered thermoplastic created through the polymerization of three monomers: acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. Each component contributes distinct mechanical benefits—acrylonitrile provides chemical resistance and heat stability, butadiene delivers impact strength and toughness, and styrene offers rigidity and processability. Together, they form a versatile material that extrudes cleanly, finishes well, and maintains reliable dimensional stability.
At Lakeland Plastics, custom ABS extrusion brings together precision engineering and a material known for its strength, toughness, and dimensional stability. ABS is ideal for projects that require crisp detail, high rigidity, and a smooth, finished appearance, making it a popular choice for both functional components and visually appealing parts. Whether you need durable profiles, structural elements, protective trim, or tight-tolerance extrusions, our team collaborates with you from concept through production to ensure the end product performs exactly as intended. And while ABS is a reliable option for many applications, we also offer an extensive selection of other thermoplastics—allowing us to pair your design with the material that best meets your requirements.
Lakeland Plastics delivers comprehensive ABS extrusion capabilities supported by advanced production lines, in-house tooling, and experienced engineering support. ABS extrudes cleanly, holds tight tolerances, and provides excellent structural integrity, allowing us to create a wide range of profile types and product geometries. Our capabilities include:
With 12 production lines, advanced cooling and sizing systems, and ISO-compliant quality controls, Lakeland Plastics can support everything from small prototype runs to high-volume production. Each ABS extrusion is manufactured with consistent precision, clean surface quality, and dependable performance—suitable for demanding applications across industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.
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…
Plastic extrusion has become one of the most widely used manufacturing processes in the modern world, shaping countless products that businesses and consumers rely on every day. By heating raw plastic materials and forcing them through precision dies, manufacturers can create continuous profiles with exacting shapes and dimensions.
