Why Choose Custom Extrusion Profiles?
Custom extrusion profiles offer numerous advantages over standard extrusions and alternative manufacturing methods:
- Design Versatility: Tailor-made extrusions provide greater flexibility in design, accommodating curves, angles, and complex geometries that are difficult to achieve with standard profiles.
- Manufacturing Efficiency: By integrating multiple functions into a single profile, custom extrusions reduce the number of components and assembly steps required, cutting manufacturing costs and increasing efficiency.
- Performance Enhancement: Combine different materials with complementary properties in a single profile through co-extrusion, optimizing performance characteristics such as strength, flexibility, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.
- Product Differentiation: Create unique profiles that set your products apart from the competition, enhancing visual appeal and functionality.
- Material Flexibility: Select from a wide range of materials, including PVC, ABS, HDPE, TPE, and more, to meet specific application requirements.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Streamline your supply chain, reduce waste, and minimize labor costs by using custom profiles tailored to your exact needs.
- Sustainability: Utilize recyclable materials and optimize material usage with custom extrusions designed for efficient production and minimal waste.

What Is Co-Extrusion?
Co-extrusion is a process that involves extruding two or more materials through the same die to create a single, multi-layered profile. This technique allows us to combine the properties of different materials, resulting in products with enhanced performance and functionality.
Benefits of Co-Extrusion:
- Enhanced Performance: Combine materials with complementary properties to enhance strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
- Cost Reduction: Use lower-cost materials for the core of the profile and high-performance materials for the surface.
- Design Versatility: Incorporate different colors, textures, or surface finishes within a single profile.
Co-Extrusion Applications:
- Seals and gaskets with a rigid base and a flexible sealing lip
- Window and door profiles with a weather-resistant cap layer over a structural core
- Tubing with a scratch-resistant outer layer and a flexible inner layer
