Mid South Extrusion extruder of the month
Head office: Monroe, Louisiana, USA President: Ron Mason Founded: 1986
Ownership: Private Employees: More than 150
Profile: Mid South Extrusion was formed in 1986 in a small 17,000 sq ft facility with four employees and one blown film line – and began by making HDPE barrier films used in multiwall bag production. The company now resides on a 200,000 sq ft campus that encompasses manufacturing, warehousing and office space.
Product lines: The company is a specialist in multi-layer and mono-layer blown films for a range of applications, including sheeting, bags on a roll and tubing. It processes a range of materials including LDPE, LLDPE and HDPE. Many of its products are used in barrier films, or where seal characteristics and print surface requirements are critical. It recently introduced a new engineered film called ExtrudTuff
Factory location:
All the company’s products are made at its facility in Monroe. For its films, it offers a gauge range of 0.45-10mil, while its ExtrudTuff is available up to 16mil. Films are available in widths up to 126in (embossed films up to 76in).
Recent news: The company recently installed a 6in (150mm) extruder from Davis-Standard. The addition – a MAC extruder with new feedscrew, screen changer and control system – has allowed the company to boost processing rates for a variety of polyolefin film grades, while cutting downtime.
