Polymera Aquires Manufacturing Facility in Ohio to Produce Wood Polymer Composites

Polymera, Inc., producer of wood polymer composite materials and custom profiles, has acquired a state-of-the-art manufacturing system and 160,000-square-foot facility in central Ohio. The newly formed company offers material preparation, blending and extrusion of materials and products that service the Wood and Natural Fiber Polymer Composites (WPC) industry.

Polymera can supply wood and natural fiber polymer composite materials in agglomerate, compounds or extruded profiles with blending systems capable of over 50 million pounds of compounds annually, supplemented with high-output, energy-efficient twin screw WPC extrusion lines for custom profile production. The company also has the flexibility to provide varying material formulations utilizing a wide spectrum of raw materials per customer specifications.

By producing both formulated compounds and finished custom profiles, Polymera is addressing a need for WPC compound that is largely ignored by producers today who are focused on material manufacture for their own captive use to produce products like decking and railing. This unique niche positions Polymera to become a leader in the field of wood polymer composites.
