Lakeland Plastics was founded by 4 partners in Chicago in 1962 as a custom plastic extrusion company. Starting with one extruder, they began life by making PVC sleeves for electronic crimp connectors.
Within 2 years they had built up enough business to move to a larger facility in Bensenville, IL where they diversified their customer base and started selling more parts into many different industries.
After 20 years in Bensenville, they moved to Mundelein in 1994 where they ran steady continuing to diversify industries served, becoming recognized as a top custom plastic extrusion company in the country.
Manufacturing Custom Plastic Extrusions Since 1962
Lakeland has experienced a tremendous amount of growth since 2019 and was forced (through growth) to move out of it’s Mundelein location to its new home in Wheeling, IL doubling the square footage of the previous facility in Mundelein. The new facility includes a tool room that is 3 times the size increasing tooling capabilities, added engineering capabilities, increased extruder processing speeds, gaining a competitive edge, and shrinking lead times to better service customers increasing demands and new developments. This new facility allows the storage and capabilities to mass produce on a competitive scale.
