Precision Plastic Crosshead Extrusion Services
With over 50 years of experience, Lakeland Plastics offers trusted plastic crosshead extrusion services for customers across a wide range of industries. Our coating line can apply waterproof, decorative, or protective layers to virtually any substrate you need coated. Some of the substrates we have successfully coated include cable, pipe (steel, aluminum, and copper), wire, electrical conduit, chain, wooden dowels, rope, and other extrusions. Whether you need a waterproof seal, a protective barrier, or a decorative finish, our crosshead extrusion capabilities are built to meet your exact specifications with precision and consistency.
The Crosshead Extrusion Process: Reliable Coating for Any Substrate
The crosshead extrusion process involves feeding a substrate through a 90-degree crosshead die, where a molten plastic layer is applied with uniform coverage. This process allows for complete, end-to-end coating in a single, continuous pass, resulting in a strong bond between the plastic and the base material. Lakeland Plastics leverages advanced tooling and engineering expertise to ensure a clean finish and long-lasting performance, no matter the complexity of the job.

What Companies Are Saying About Our Crosshead Extrusions
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.
Justin B.
Great company to work with, they hold a high standard of quality in the work they do with great communications!
Lee M.
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.

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.
