This process provides industry leading dimensional quality and surface finish that sets our products above the rest. Our team can provide considerable expertise to customer engineers for design, dimension or tolerance issues and our ULTREXTM UHMW/PE brand products can be manufactured with a wide variety of additives and attributes to match your specific requirements.
