Extrusion Technical Services Consulting

Extrusion is no longer a Black Art!

Countless thousands of hours of research over the last 40 years have produced an exacting understanding of the extrusion process. The science of extrusion is now available to those who seek to conquer their extrusion process.

Extrusion Technical Services searches for the ultimate in extrusion technology. Because of our many years of hands on and technical extrusion experience these technologies are can be professionally represented to our clients and customers.

New and advanced technology requires the understanding, support and training for proper implementation which we can provide.

Our understanding is not based on research only. Many years of hands on struggling with extrusion production problems lead to the search for control. The potential to control the extrusion process was found in the hands of pioneering researchers. Over the years the researcher’s work has been compared to real life situations, and the differences resolved.

Today, proven products are available to design and develop extrusion processes with confidence. This ability to control the extrusion process can transform a company’s profitability.
