Astro Plastics

What Astro Plastics does

Astro Plastics is a US-based custom thermoplastic profile extrusion manufacturer founded in 1965 in Rosemount, Minnesota. The company designs and produces single, dual, and tri-extrusion plastic profiles serving five vertical markets: building materials (primary, including door/window, millwork, and fenestration), point-of-purchase displays, OEM lighting, general OEM, and marine applications. Operations span two manufacturing facilities — the original Rosemount, MN plant and a Covington, GA facility opened in 1984 and since expanded to 100,000 square feet — equipped with more than 40 extruders and 5 EDM machines, plus in-house design, tooling, prototyping, and laboratory quality-control capabilities. The business combines custom extrusion services with a proprietary branded product portfolio that includes seven patent-protected or patent-pending lines: AstroFlashing (window/door flashing, US Patent 8,316,586 B2), AstroPan (sill pan system, US Patent 7,222,462 B2), AstroSlip (boat trailer bunk covers, US Patent 9,555,732), AstroAnchor (storm surge piling anchor, patent pending), AstroDock (vinyl dock decking), AstroCasing (piling repair/protection), and a standardized ASTRO product line.

The company generates revenue through two streams: (1) custom plastic extrusion manufacturing priced on a project/quote basis tied to complexity, materials, and volume, and (2) proprietary branded product sales priced by unit with published volume-discount tiers (e.g., AstroFlashing at $175-$192.50 per reel). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: project engineers engage with customers on design, the company operates toll-free sales lines at both manufacturing sites, and inbound inquiries are captured through the company website. Distribution is domestic-only, focused on the US Midwest and Southeast, with no disclosed international footprint, distribution partners, or external funding. Astro Plastics is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors identified in the public record, and it discloses no revenue figures. The company has been continuously operating for over 50 years with no M&A, restructuring, leadership changes, or partnerships disclosed.
