At Keller, we do it all. If you need
it, chances are we can make it. From flame-retardant
to nanotechnology profiles,
we are pleased to offer you a number of unique materials and designs to fit
your needs.
Our solid partnerships with leading
custom compounders help us to ensure that our products can meet some of the
industry’s most rigorous standards. Our established relationships enable us to
realize benefits that we are able to pass along to our customers. For example,
if you are unsure of your needs and want to test various compounds and resins,
our partners will provide us with custom-formulated materials in the amount
required to provide you with prototypes.
One of the things that set us apart
from other companies is our ability to do custom plastic extrusions
tailored to your needs. It’s part of our versatility and our commitment to
customer service. Since our founding, we have been producing profiles in
standard designs right alongside custom compounds and profile designs. If you
come to us with a challenging design or a custom plastic extrusion, we’ll
provide you with an innovative, economical solution that works for you. It’s
what we do.
With over 40 years of experience
extruding both standard profiles and custom plastic extrusions, we can
confidently say we’ve seen it all. Our team has a combined 120 years of
experience, many of that spent working on custom plastic extrusions for
customers. We’re comfortable adapting to change and being flexible so that our
factory floor makes the necessary tweaks and changes to meet your needs.
Our industry-leading design
assistance and customer service programs are second to none. When you give us a
call, you’ll find we work with you to provide advice, suggestions, and
information about your profile design needs. Some of the services we offer
include:
- Free design engineering and assistance
- 3D printing and rapid prototyping
- Coextrusion
- Hollow profiles
- Custom compounds
- Free tooling and other programs
We have a number of tools
at our disposal to aid in the design process – even with your complex
custom design needs. AutoCAD and 3D printing (stereolithography) are two of our
most powerful techniques to get you the most accurate model possible – at low
or no cost to you.
Not sure what you need? Give us a
call and we’ll discuss your options. With our two machine shops, we can
offer inexpensive prototype tooling in as little as 72 hours – and we’d be
happy to do so.

Recycled
Materials Contribute to Sustainability
At Keller Products, we use recycled
plastic in many of our profiles. Plastics technology allows us to make use of
recycled materials in virtually any profile design, eliminating waste and
saving you money. Recycled plastic profiles are just as strong, durable, and
flexible as profiles manufactured from new or “virgin” plastic. We’re committed
to our customers and to sustainable business practices. Recycling plastic
material is a simple, cost-effective method of practicing “Green Chemistry”, a
guideline that Keller Products strives to follow in order to reduce our
environmental impact.
At Keller, we continually strive to
create new and better processes using cutting edge materials that are human and
eco-friendly. Because of our knowledgeable staff and years of experience, we
can create green plastic profiles with a smaller environmental footprint. We
are a leading original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplier of environmentally
sustainable plastic profiles.
Advances in recycling programs and
waste-to-energy technologies are bolstering public awareness and support for
increased sustainable recycling programs and the development of better
“earth-friendly” plastics. We utilize both post-consumer and post-industrial
materials as well as bio-based resins in our plastic extruded profiles. Keller
Products can help you become “green” – we have the experience and the know how.
We have the capability to recycle
the following plastic materials:
- Polycarbonate
- Polyethylene
- Polypropylene
- Polystyrene
- TPVs
Keller Products utilizes
post-industrial and post-consumer recycled Polycarbonate plastic in its
Polycarbonate plastic profiles. Large scale industry and commercial recycling
programs for Polycarbonate are rapidly increasing with industry-wide recycling
programs in the planning stages.
Polyethylene
Keller Products can use recycled
Polyethylene in its profiles (LDPE and HDPE). Large-scale, municipally
sponsored recycling programs exist for HDPE. Recycled Polyethylene (HDPE) is
used to produce bottles for cleaners, drainage pipe, trash containers, benches,
fencing, and lumber. Programs for recycling LDPE are becoming much more popular
– some supermarkets offer recycling for plastic shopping bags. Recycled
Polyethylene (LDPE) is used to produce trash and grocery bags, plastic tubing,
agricultural film and lumber.
Polypropylene
Keller Products uses recycled
Polypropylene plastic in its Polypropylene plastic profiles. Polypropylene
carries the Recycle Resin Identification Code 5. Although many municipal
recycling programs have yet to adopt programs for recycling Polypropylene,
commercial recycling programs are on the rise. Recycled Polypropylene is used
in the production of brooms, brushes, trays, rakes, bins and pallets.
Polystyrene
There is an increasing market for
non-foodservice polystyrene recycling to reduce landfill waste. Corporate
programs for recycling protective wrap, foam shape-molded pieces and protective
fill are increasing. Millions of pounds of polystyrene are recycled each year
into thermal insulation, light switch plates, trays, vents and innovative
“green building” products.
TPVs
TPV is an engineering-grade plastic
that can be recycled and used in the manufacturing process of new plastic
extrusions. TPV rubber granules will be used in the process of manufacturing
TPV rubber extrusions.
