Plastic Profile Extrusion Capabilities & Services.

Plastic profile extrusion and in-house tooling are at the core of what we do. Our capabilities extend into fabrication, material development, automation, packaging and partner-supported injection molding, allowing us to approach manufacturing challenges with a broader range of solutions.

Connected capabilities

The full manufacturing picture.

Extrusion and extrusion tooling are performed in-house. Injection molding is available through manufacturing partners, with additional operations coordinated when they serve the program.

Every capability identifies whether it is performed in-house, coordinated for a specific program or delivered with specialist partners.

01 / PROFILE PRODUCTION In-house core

Plastic Profile Extrusion

Custom rigid and flexible profiles, including co-extrusion and tri-extrusion, engineered around fit, function, materials and production requirements.

02 / TOOL DEVELOPMENT In-house core

Tooling & Machining

Our in-house toolroom designs, builds, maintains and modifies extrusion dies, connecting development decisions directly with production feedback.

03 / COMPLEMENTARY PROCESS Through manufacturing partners

Injection Molding & Extrusion — Better Together.

Extruded profiles and injection molded components often need to work together as part of a finished assembly. Why manage separate suppliers when you can have one manufacturing partner oversee the entire program?

Canplex combines our in-house extrusion and tooling expertise with injection molding through established manufacturing partners. By considering fit, function, materials and production requirements together, we help ensure the components work as intended while simplifying the manufacturing process for our customers.

One manufacturing partner. One coordinated solution.

04 / FINAL OPERATIONS Integrated options

Fabrication & Secondary Operations

Application-specific cutting, drilling, punching and other inline or secondary operations can deliver components closer to their final use.

05 / PROCESS INTEGRATION With specialist partners

Automation & Inline Packaging

Integrated handling and multi-stage inline packaging can simplify downstream work. Specialist automation partners support projects where appropriate.

06 / MATERIALS & PROCESS Development led

Research & Development

Material selection, profile refinement, tooling feasibility and production trials, including specialty polymers and bio-based material exploration.

07 / CUSTOMER BRAND Program specific

Private Label Manufacturing

Custom manufacture to customer specifications, including components supplied for the customer’s own branded products.

08 / PROGRAM DELIVERY Program specific

Kitting, Fulfillment & Blind Shipping

Program-specific kitting, packaging, order preparation and direct-to-destination shipping arrangements.

09 / EXTENDED CAPABILITY Partner supported

Manufacturing Partnerships

When a project requires more than extrusion, Canplex coordinates our in-house profile extrusion, tooling and development teams with established manufacturing partners. This includes overseeing fit, function and production requirements between extruded and injection molded components, giving customers one coordinated manufacturing relationship. Injection molding is delivered through partners, not produced in-house.
