Plastics extruder Pexco is expanding its Midwest footprint with the acquisition of custom plastics extruder Wisconsin Plastic Products, a supplier to OEMs in several end markets, including appliances, commercial refrigeration, flooring, lighting, office furniture, retail display, telecommunications, and windows and doors.
Plymouth, WI-based Wisconsin Plastic Products specializes in co-extrusion and metal embedded, hollow, and complex profiles that require tight tolerances using highly engineered plastics. The company also operates co- and tri-extrusion lines and can manufacture profiles up to 36 inches in width.

“The acquisition of Wisconsin Plastic Products expands Pexco’s custom extrusion capacity and engineering expertise, while increasing our presence in the Midwest,” said Pexco CEO Sam Patel. “We look forward to integrating Wisconsin Plastic Products’ capabilities into our operations.”
Brad Bruggink, CEO of Wisconsin Plastic Products, said his company is excited to join Pexco and looks forward to expanding the services and products it can offer customers.
“Both companies have a reputation for quality products, service excellence, and complex engineering, making this a great cultural fit,” Bruggink said.
