What Patwin Plastics does

Patwin Plastics Inc. is a privately held U.S. plastic extrusion specialist incorporated in 1971 and headquartered at 2300 East Linden Avenue, Linden, New Jersey. The company manufactures PVC and polyethylene extrusions including cellular mouldings, PVC decking, porch board, tee/bumper mouldings, cap and panel profiles, sliding-door track and U-channel, slatwall, and price tags. Production is anchored at a single Linden facility using computer-driven, laser-monitored extrusion equipment with in-house color-matching, cutting, and tool-manufacturing capabilities. Its proprietary Flexelene formulation, a custom polyethylene compound engineered for flexibility on curved contours, is a differentiated material used across the tee-molding line.

The business operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market focused on wholesale distributors as the primary channel, with secondary reach into furniture and case-goods manufacturers, commercial and residential panel installers, and custom fabricators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers contact the sales department by phone for standard lengths (typically 8 or 12 feet) or custom-cut orders. A storefront link on the company website indicates an early-stage direct online channel layered on top of the phone-driven motion. Products are sold under the Patwin name with the American Pro line (PVC decking, cellular mouldings, porch board) positioned as the flagship branded offering, and a custom design and development service supports non-standard profiles.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of extrusions with no subscription, licensing, or recurring component disclosed. The company is privately held with no institutional investors or parent entity identified; founder Thomas Hannen is referenced in the leadership record. Manufacturing is U.S.-based, and the company's marketing emphasizes domestic production, UV-stabilized color, and over five decades of extrusion expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Inteplast Group: Large manufacturer of PVC and other plastic products including profiles, sheets, and building products. Overlaps with Patwin's PVC extrusion and building-products focus as a much larger, diversified supplier serving similar end markets.
• AZEK Company (TimberTech): Publicly-traded leader in PVC decking (TimberTech) and trim (AZEK) with deep distribution into building-products channels. Direct overlap with Patwin's American Pro PVC decking and cellular mouldings lines, but with national brand, capital, and channel scale that Patwin cannot match.
• CertainTeed (Saint-Gobain): Large building-products manufacturer offering PVC trim, mouldings, and exterior products under the CertainTeed brand. Overlaps with Patwin's cellular PVC mouldings, decking, and trim offerings as part of a much broader product portfolio distributed through pro channels.
• Royal Building Products (Cornerstone Building Brands): Major manufacturer of PVC mouldings, trim, decking, and siding under brands like Royal and Exterior Portfolio. Comparable to Patwin because they overlap directly in cellular PVC trim and PVC decking/porch board categories, but at vastly larger scale and broader product portfolio.

Direct peers

• Crescent Plastics: Custom profile extrusion manufacturer serving OEM customers with thermoplastic profiles, including PVC. Comparable to Patwin as a contract extrusion partner offering custom tooling, compounding, and finishing for industrial buyers.
• Versatex Building Products: Specialist in cellular PVC trim boards, mouldings, and sheet for residential and commercial construction. Closely comparable to Patwin's American Pro cellular mouldings and trim profile business, with similar custom color-matching and fabrication capabilities.
• Engineered Profiles: Custom plastic profile extruder serving similar OEM customers with custom-compounded thermoplastic profiles, color matching, and tight tolerance runs. Direct comparable in business model (custom extrusion, color-matching, short-run OEM focus) to Patwin's Flexelene and custom design services.
• Vycom Plastics: Manufacturer of extruded PVC and other plastic sheet, profile, and rod products for industrial and building-products customers. Overlaps with Patwin in custom PVC profile and channel extrusion, including products used in fabrication and display applications.
• Petro Extrusions: Custom plastic profile extrusion house producing rigid vinyl and other thermoplastic profiles for OEMs. Operates in the same custom PVC/PE profile extrusion niche as Patwin, supplying mouldings, channels, and specialty profiles to industrial customers.

Regional players

• Kleer Lumber: PVC trim and mouldings brand focused on the U.S. residential building-products market. Comparable to Patwin's American Pro cellular mouldings/trim business, with stronger brand presence in lumber yards but similar product positioning as a wood-alternative PVC trim supplier.
