(Plastics Today) -- For its third acquisition in just four months, custom plastic profile extrusion processor Pexco will bring AllWest Plastics Inc. into its fold. AllWest's specialty is in custom profile extrusions for the aerospace and lighting industries, both of which are key end-use markets for Pexco. Selling AllWest is Scott Leishman, who acquired the company in 1986.
Pexco is headquartered in Atlanta, GA with nine processing facilities pread across the U.S. and Mexico. In April the plastics processor acquired Patrician Products in New York, and then in May closed on Multitube Medical Devices of Mexico.
AllWest Plastics is based in Huntington Beach, California. The company was created to extrude plastic commercial lighting fixture components but in the late 1980s and early 1990s entered the market for higher-performance applications, most notably components for the aerospace industry. Its airplane interior components now are marketed to Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Embraer. The company also services the airline aftermarket through distributors and parts suppliers.
