Northland Plastics offers comprehensive plastic fabrication services as part of our secondary operations. We specialize in unique and complex fabrications including automated inline fabrication, custom fabrication, assembly and more. As an experienced plastic extrusion company, we understand specifications for a plastic profile extrusion are different depending on the application, and that meeting all requirements is essential to our customers’ (and our) success.
Secondary operations allow us to meet our customers’ needs when their plastic part requirements either cannot be met technically in line (kitting, specialty packaging) or when it’s not economical to build tooling/capabilities in line (lower volume products). Our plastic fabrication capabilities allow us to provide customers with the finished good they require for the lowest possible total cost.

Plastics Fabrication
As a full-service plastic extrusion company, Northland Plastics has the fabrication expertise required to meet our customers’ cutting, punching, drilling, routing, or machining needs. Any post-extrusion fabrication needs can be met by our secondary operations team. Complex problems require creative solutions, and we pride ourselves on working with our customers to develop new and robust ways of creating value.
Heat Sealing, Forming, Bonding & more
Applying heat in a precise manner allows customers endless possibilities to meet their unique design requirements. Northland has capabilities to weld extruded profiles together, chemically bond materials, heat form plastic extrusions to different angles or dimensions, and much more.
Specialty Packaging & Assembly
Depending on the unique needs of each customer, Northland can offer specialty packaging, labeling and assembly. These value-added services not only provide customers the ability to select packaging required for their products, but also allows plastic extrusions to be co-packed with other products (screw packs, additional extrusions, injection molded parts, etc.) so that a packaged assembly can be sent either to the customer or directly to an end-user.
Custom Plastic Fabrication & Cost Savings
Whether your application calls for standard plastic profiles or completely custom components, Northland Plastics has the extrusion and fabrication capabilities to create exactly what you need.
Our goal is to provide cost savings for our customers, which we achieve through our vertically-integrated design and manufacturing facility, comprehensive secondary operations, and commitment to continual improvement in material sourcing and production techniques. Located in Sheboygan, we serve customers throughout Wisconsin and nationwide. Contact us for more information about our plastic fabrication services or to request a quote.
