Polytarp Products announced the successful installation of a new 3M wide, 3-layer Co-ex extruder from Bandera U.S., marking a strategic investment to expand its portfolio of wide films. This enhancement aims to elevate Polytarp’s capabilities, particularly in serving the agriculture and construction markets.
The newly installed wide blown film line allows Polytarp to produce larger and more durable lay-flat combo liners, which are essential for leak-proof applications, especially in the food industry. Additionally, the new extruder reportedly provides increased flexibility, enabling significantly wider sheeting and gusseted film production. The installation and start-up of the new line were successfully completed in 2023, enhancing the company’s manufacturing capabilities.
Polytarp Products has been an international supplier of quality plastic film products since 1957, catering to over 1,000 clients across North America. The company says the addition of the Bandera Extruder is the latest step in enhancing its facility, equipped for extrusion, converting and laminating a variety of polymers to produce single and multi-layer sheeting, tubing, and bags.
“Our success has been driven by our close collaboration with customers and suppliers,” said Steve Ghantous, President at Polytarp Products. “The addition of this new line is a testament to our commitment to innovation and our ability to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We look forward to continuing to provide high-quality, customized solutions that exceed expectations.”
