Custom thermoplastic extrusions for a variety of sectors are Extrudex's area of expertise. Extrudex was founded in Chardon, Ohio, in 1980. The company's growth was driven by client demand, which led to the acquisition of production and secondary processing capabilities to enable the company to produce custom-designed products.

Extrudex was sold to Mr. George Humphrey and his family ten years later.  The Humphrey family made investments in more machinery and gear to boost the business's output. Orders for custom plastic extrusions increased at an astonishing rate with the extra capacity.  The company relocated from its initial site in Chardon to a larger plant in Painesville, Ohio, where it is now situated, in a mere two years.
