Lakeland Plastics produces precision polypropylene (PP) extrusions designed for strength, chemical resistance, and long-term performance across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
PP, or polypropylene, is a durable, lightweight thermoplastic frequently used in plastic extrusion manufacturing. It is valued for its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and strong fatigue endurance, allowing it to perform reliably in demanding environments. PP is well-suited for applications that require toughness without added weight, making it an efficient choice for both industrial and commercial components. Its versatility allows it to be extruded into a wide variety of custom profiles, tubing, and structural shapes that maintain consistent performance over time.
Polypropylene (PP) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer produced through the polymerization of propylene monomers. Its molecular structure provides a balanced combination of rigidity and flexibility, along with strong resistance to many chemicals and solvents. These characteristics make PP a popular material for extrusion applications that require durability and dimensional stability. PP maintains its mechanical strength in wet environments, resists corrosion, and performs well in both indoor and outdoor settings when properly formulated with UV and weather-resistant additives.
At Lakeland Plastics, custom polypropylene extrusion is built around performance, precision, and material expertise. PP’s chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, and lightweight strength make it ideal for applications where durability and cleanliness matter most. Whether your project requires simple profiles, complex shapes, or specialized functional designs, our team works closely with you to deliver extrusions that meet exact specifications. While polypropylene is a reliable choice for many applications, we also offer a wide selection of additional thermoplastics to ensure your project uses the optimal material for its performance, durability, and aesthetic requirements.
Lakeland Plastics offers comprehensive PP extrusion capabilities supported by advanced equipment, in-house tooling, and experienced engineering teams. Our polypropylene extrusion capabilities include:
With multiple production lines, modern cooling and sizing systems, and ISO-compliant quality controls, Lakeland Plastics supports everything from prototype development to high-volume production. Every PP extrusion is manufactured with consistent accuracy, reliable performance, and long-term durability in mind.
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.

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…
Plastic extrusion powers many of the products people use every day, from the tubing that carries fluids in hospitals to the protective coatings on electrical cables. There are many different types of plastic extrusion, but overall, the process involves taking molten plastic and shaping it into continuous, perfectly engineered forms that meet exact design requirements.…
