We offer a large selection of standard and specialty extrusions as well as custom shapes. At TACO, we specialize in high-quality aluminum and plastic extrusions for various end-use marine applications.
We design and develop aluminum extrusions through our long-term partnership with both large domestic and overseas extruders who are industry leaders and provide full-service capabilities, including secondary fabrication and finishing.
Our plastic extrusions are produced in-house and include flexible, semi-rigid and rigid PVC profiles as well as other engineered materials. Our custom formulated compounds and colors provide excellent UV weathering and impact resistance. We offer both single and dual extrusion capabilities, decorative foil lamination and PSA tape backings, all of which are designed, engineered and tooled in-house. Our downstream cooling, vacuum sizing and calibration tanks control tight dimensional tolerances. We have both inline and offline fabrication that is finished cut to length with holes punched, drilled and/or countersunk.
