How We Solve Problems When Standard Parts Don’t Work

Not every project can be built with off-the-shelf components. For OEMs, trying to force standard parts into unique applications often leads to wasted time, higher costs, and underperforming products. At Lincoln Plastics, we specialize in helping customers solve problems when standard extrusion solutions just don’t fit.

The Challenge with Standard Parts

Standard parts are designed for broad use — not for your specific application. That often means:

• Extra modifications or machining
• Compromises in fit or performance
• Higher costs from wasted materials or added steps
• Delays when suppliers can’t meet unique needs

Our Problem-Solving Approach

We start with understanding your challenge. Our team collaborates with engineers and purchasing managers to:

• Identify the exact requirements of the application
• Recommend materials, wall thicknesses, and profiles that fit the need
• Design custom solutions that eliminate unnecessary modifications
• Align production runs to meet both demand and efficiency

Real-World Results

By focusing on custom, right-sized solutions, we’ve helped OEMs:

• Reduce total project costs
• Improve equipment performance and reliability
• Speed up production schedules

Turning Problems into Solutions

At Lincoln Plastics, we don’t just extrude plastic — we solve problems. If a standard part doesn’t cut it, we’ll help design one that does.
