The Art of Plastics Extrusion

Extrusion Tooling to Highest Standards

In the year 2000, EXTRUDEX changed course from previous practice and began in-house design and development of pipe and tube extrusion tooling. The decision was driven by shortcomings of existing technologies in meeting EXTRUDEX’s requirements for quality, versatility and performance.



Our product spectrum includes:

Utilizing more than 30 years of practical experience in extrusion, EXTRUDEX's expert and highly motivated design and development team has created a wide range of service-proven mono- and multilayer die heads. Their design was carried out in close cooperation with technical institutes, raw material manufacturers and customers.

Our latest development: VARIOSYSTEM multilayer die heads with interchangeable rotary distributors. This technology permits realization of almost all common layer combinations with a single die head.
