Who We Are
Our Story
Where Ideas Take Shape
From inspiration to application, Pexco has been helping our customers bring ideas to life for nearly half a century as a plastic extrusion manufacturer. Based in Atlanta, with multiple plants in the U.S. and Mexico, Pexco has grown and evolved to become North America’s leader in the design and fabrication of specialty plastic products.
Core Values
Excellence in Every Aspect
There is a Pexco way of doing things, including how we behave and what we value. Pexco quickly turns engineering concepts into high quality products by listening to your needs and thoroughly understanding your world and its demands; your aspirations to take a concept from idea to iteration in highest quality form. That’s our mission – and we seek to uphold it daily through our Core Values: Safety, Proper, and Team.
Safety
In manufacturing, there is nothing more important than safety. At Pexco, we take it a step further. Safety is a discipline, like any other, and in order for it to be core, it has to be part of our culture and guarded with vigilance.
Proper
There’s nothing worth doing that isn’t done right. At Pexco, we emphasize right conduct – not only with our customers, but amongst ourselves, too, as a group together serving a common purpose.
Team
Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work. Aligning our minds and efforts around visible objectives helps the team assure success. We call it “One Pexco,” in which we have one way of doing things, and that’s doing them right.

Throughout our history, we have committed to innovation, quality and customer service, evolving to meet diverse client needs. Today, we are an industry-leading provider of custom and specialty plastic solutions, delivering excellence across various industries.
Our Story
Several organizational ownership and name changes soon followed. In 1997, the company name was changed to Bunzl Extrusions Inc., in 2005 to Filtrona Extrusions Inc., and in 2009 to Pexco LLC, an investment of Saw Mill Capital Partners. On August 9th, 2012, Pexco was acquired by Odyssey Investment Partners, LLC from Saw Mill Capital. On May 9, 2017 Pexco was acquired by Kohlberg & Company, LLC and became part of the newly launched Spectrum Plastics Group, which combined the formerly separate business entities of Pexco LLC, PPC Industries, and Kelpac Medical under one name. On February 1, 2018, Spectrum Plastics Group was acquired by AEA Investors. On April 9, 2018, while still under the ownership of AEA Investors, Pexco LLC separated from Spectrum Plastics Group, returning to its roots and core competencies as a purely Industrial custom extruder.
Pexco is based north of Atlanta, Georgia, with multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States and Mexico. As North America’s leading custom extruder, Pexco offers a full range of extruded plastics design, engineering, manufacturing, and fabrication services. It meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and other key registrations and/or certifications for its manufacturing operations, providing standard and custom parts and finished assemblies to manufacturers and end-users across industrial and commercial market applications.

Pexco is a leading specialty plastics manufacturer satisfying the demands of Industrial and Commercial OEMs and customers for precision plastic components and sub- and finished assemblies.

We employ roughly 500 employees, operate plants in nearly every major manufacturing region in the United States and Mexico, and typify the notion of company stability and security in an industry known as much for the Mom & Pop as the One Trick Pony.
Pexco designs, manufactures, and fabricates both standard and custom plastic products. We have over 1,000 active customers; our top 10% occupy no more than 35% of revenue; we own over 3,000 dies; we process over 35 resin types, 500+ grades, and 400+ colors; we operate over 90 extrusion lines and over 15 co-extruders; we machine and finish raw and processed plastics on a variety of CNC lathes and milling equipment; we assemble finished solutions; we feature close to half a million square feet of manufacturing space; and we sell into strategic markets that feature promising growth dynamics and defensibility.
We build. We create.
That’s who we are.
Pexco possesses a disciplined and flexible management team, with institutional knowledge and yet openness to change. Focused strategic priorities and the ability to carry them out, company self-awareness, organizational health, and core principles that drive our philosophy and support for North American manufacturing are all operational hallmarks.
