What Petro Extrusion Technologies does

Petro Extrusion Technologies, Inc. is a family-owned custom and stock plastic extrusion manufacturer headquartered in Middlesex, New Jersey. The company was established in 1979 under a parent entity founded in 1955 and operates with 1–10 employees from a single production facility. Its core technology is thermoplastic profile and tubing extrusion, including co-extrusion of multiple materials into a single part and post-extrusion fabrication services such as cutting, drilling, punching, printing, and tape application.

The product portfolio spans eight stock tubing lines (Polycarbonate, Polypropylene, PVC/Polyurethane PETRO-BLEND, Flexible PVC, Santoprene TPR) and five stock profile lines (Nyla-Glide GR MDS-filled Nylon 6 channels, Acrylic profiles, Polycarbonate angles and channels, PE channels, and Living Hinge coextruded hinges), collectively comprising over 100 stock SKUs. Custom work covers most thermoplastics including polycarbonate, nylon, acrylic, polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, PVC, TPR, Kraton, and urethanes, extruded to customer specifications with proprietary tooling. The company holds three registered trademarks (Nyla-Glide GR, PETRO-BLEND, Living Hinge) and maintains FDA 21 CFR compliant grades for medical and food-contact applications, alongside RoHS and REACH compliance support.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model: quote-based custom extrusion jobs engage directly with OEMs and distributors, while stock items ship within 24 hours from inventory. GTM relies on the company website, a phone sales line (1-800-229-3338), email outreach, blog content marketing, and an IQS Directory trusted partner listing. Customers span medical and healthcare, automotive, food and beverage, industrial manufacturing, aerospace, construction, retail display, and agriculture, with named enterprise users including Johnson & Johnson, SpaceX, Collins Aerospace, Caterpillar, Eaton, Phillips, and Cooper-Crouse. Robert Petro serves as President, and the company has remained family-owned and operated since inception with no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or public listing activity on record.
