Beyond the production floor.
Custom plastic profiles backed by in-house tooling, material expertise and integrated manufacturing solutions. From development through production, we help manufacturers solve problems that extend beyond the part itself.
A good idea needs more than a good design. It needs to work in the application, be practical to manufacture, and make commercial sense. We bring materials, tooling and production expertise together to turn product challenges into workable manufacturing solutions.
Develop profiles with a team that considers geometry, material behaviour, tooling and production together.

See our approach 03 / PartnershipFounded in 1986, Canplex brings an in-house toolroom, established production operations and accessible family ownership to long-term customer programs.
About Canplex
In-house extrusion and tooling are our foundation. Fabrication, packaging and carefully selected partners can extend the program when the work calls for it.
When extruded and molded components need to work together, Canplex can coordinate both processes through one manufacturing relationship. From component development to production, we help bring the entire program together.
From early work developing processing techniques for specialty polymers to integrated packaging automation and today's exploration of bio-based materials, innovation at Canplex has always been about putting ideas into practice.
Canplex worked with Eastman during the early development of extrusion processing techniques for Provista™. Early profile samples produced by our team were subsequently used by Eastman to help introduce the material to the industry.
Explore material innovation.
For a high-volume customer program, Canplex worked with a specialist automation partner to integrate extrusion and packaging in one continuous process — from pellets entering the hopper to finished profiles packaged for shipment.
Explore integrated manufacturing.
We have extruded pallet corner guards using 100% bio-based, biodegradable PHA and are introducing them into our shipping operations to learn from a practical application.
Explore PHA in Practice.From retail displays and glazing systems to architectural lighting, agriculture and industrial equipment, plastic profile extrusion plays a role in countless products and applications.
At Canplex, we bring our manufacturing expertise to a diverse range of industries, developing custom solutions around the unique requirements of each application.
