Lakeland Plastics provides top-quality ABS extrusions engineered to provide excellent impact resistance, dimensional stability, and dependable performance for a wide range of applications.
Acrylic, often referred to as PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), is a transparent thermoplastic widely used in plastic extrusion for applications that require excellent clarity, weather resistance, and durability. Known for its glass-like appearance and lightweight properties, acrylic provides an attractive and functional solution for both structural and decorative extrusion profiles. Acrylic extrusions are commonly used where visibility, light transmission, and aesthetic quality are important. The material’s ability to maintain clarity and resist environmental degradation makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. At Lakeland Plastics, acrylic extrusions are produced with precise dimensional control and smooth surface finishes to ensure consistent performance and visual quality.
Acrylic is a transparent thermoplastic polymer created through the polymerization of methyl methacrylate monomers. It is known for its exceptional optical clarity, high light transmission, and strong resistance to UV radiation and weathering. Unlike traditional glass, acrylic is lightweight and impact resistant, making it easier to handle and fabricate while still providing excellent visual transparency. Its stable molecular structure allows it to be extruded into a variety of shapes and profiles while maintaining clarity, durability, and long-term performance in both commercial and industrial environments.
At Lakeland Plastics, our custom acrylic extrusion combines precision engineering with a material known for exceptional clarity, weather resistance, and visual appeal. Acrylic is ideal for applications where transparency, aesthetics, and durability are equally important. Whether you need clear protective covers, lighting components, or specialized profiles, our team works closely with you to design and manufacture extrusions that meet exact dimensional and functional requirements. From concept and tooling design to prototyping and full-scale production, Lakeland Plastics provides a collaborative approach that ensures every acrylic extrusion performs reliably in its intended environment. While acrylic is a popular choice for clear and decorative components, we also offer a wide selection of other thermoplastics to ensure the best material solution for your specific application.
Lakeland Plastics provides comprehensive acrylic extrusion capabilities supported by advanced production equipment, in-house tooling, and experienced engineering support. Acrylic’s excellent clarity and stable processing characteristics allow us to manufacture extrusions with precise dimensions and smooth, high-quality surface finishes. Our acrylic extrusion capabilities include:
With 12 production lines, advanced cooling and sizing systems, and strict quality control processes, Lakeland Plastics can support everything from prototype development to high-volume production.

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.

What if a single plastic profile could behave like two different materials at once? Imagine a component that carries structural loads, resists ultraviolet exposure, absorbs impact, and seals against moisture all within one continuous shape. No secondary bonding or added assembly, and without the need to compromise between strength and flexibility. For decades, manufacturers had…
Custom extrusions are a critical part of the design and production process across a wide range of industries and are integral to today’s manufacturing workflows. Unlike mass-produced standard extrusions, custom profiles are engineered to meet exact specifications, providing manufacturers with the flexibility to create highly functional and tailored products. As industries continue to evolve, these…
Two of the most common methods for producing plastic components are plastic extrusion and thermoforming. While both processes are widely used, they’re built for different types of parts, different production goals, and different design requirements. Choosing the right manufacturing process can shape everything that follows, from product performance and consistency to lead times and long-term…
