What Companies Are Saying About Our Custom Tube & Rod Extrusion
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 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.
