Pexco acquires HPE Extrusion

North American Pexco LLC, a specialty plastics extruder, has acquired profile maker HPE Extrusion Solutions (HPE), based in Bally, Pennsylvania.

Founded in 1972 as Hunsinger Plastic Extrusions, HPE began as a niche custom manufacturer of extruded plastic profile products. In the ensuing decades, HPE gained vast experience in the extrusion of increasingly complex profiles of all shapes and sizes using an impressive variety of both advanced and traditional resins. HPE solutions benefit multiple industrial markets, including HVAC, automotive, and utility clients.

Since 2009, Pexco has made multiple acquisitions as it has grown into the largest custom industrial extrusion company in North America.

Pexco was acquired in 2018 by AEA Investors, a global private equity group. The purchase of HPE represents Pexco’s fifth acquisition under the new ownership.

Pexco CEO Sam Patel stated, “We are delighted to welcome HPE and their nearly five decades of extrusion excellence to the Pexco organisation.” Patel also stated, “We remain committed to the ongoing pursuit of acquisitions that fit our core objectives and expand our suite of capabilities as the largest custom plastics solutions provider in North America.”

Pexco also recently relocated its corporate headquarters office from Alpharetta to the rapidly growing Johns Creek area of Georgia, north of Metro Atlanta.
