Pultrusion

More than 4000 square feet of our facility has recently been dedicated fully to our new Pultrusion Operation. Our equipment has the capacity to pull literally any linear shape which can fit through an aperture 8" x 24" in area. With a continuous pulling force of 25,000 PSI we can tackle nearly any shape regardless of its density and fibre content, from thin wall tubing to structural components.

* Wood expands due to moisture absorption. ** Wood is susceptible to insect damage and mould.

The characteristics of pultruded products lend themselves to replacing traditional materials in many industry areas including:
Mining, Petro-chemical, Electrical, Marine, Water, Construction, Agriculture and in a huge variety of consumer goods.
