What Allied Plastics does

Allied Plastics LLC is a privately held, vertically integrated custom thermoformer of medium to heavy gauge thermoplastic components, founded in 1995 by Tim Neal and Steve Wieder in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, and operating today as part of the All-State Industries family of companies. The company's core offering spans heavy gauge vacuum thermoforming, twin-sheet and pressure forming, drape forming, and sheet-over-sheet forming, supported by in-house plastic sheet extrusion producing materials up to 120 inches wide in HMWPE, HDPE, TPO, ABS, and Styrene. Its 210,000 sq. ft. primary manufacturing facility in Twin Lakes houses more than 20 thermoforming machines, 12 five-axis CNC machines, and 5 robotic trimming systems, complemented by an IDEA Center for design-for-manufacturability engineering using ProEngineer 3D and a 173,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Genoa City. Allied Plastics is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified and operates a closed-loop recycling program that re-melts scrap HMWPE, HDPE, TPO, and ABS into new production feedstock.

The company serves OEM manufacturers on a quote-based, custom-project basis through direct enterprise field sales led by a VP of Sales and Marketing and a Sales Manager. Primary verticals are agricultural equipment (tractor cabs, combine housings, implement covers), automotive (interior panels, console components, floor liners), and material handling and industrial packaging (sleeve packs, wheel packs, rackable pallets, dunnage trays), with secondary exposure to food and beverage and consumer products. Revenue streams combine custom thermoformed part sales, custom sheet extrusion, assembly and finishing services, and managed OEM solutions including inventory and logistics management, kitting, and retail-ready packaging. Multi-year contracts and integrated engineering-from-concept-to-production services embed Allied into OEM product specifications, while the in-house extrusion line reduces dependence on third-party sheet supply and supports near-zero-waste manufacturing.
