Agriculture
We have the capacity for high-volume manufacturing of plastic components for the agriculture industry, including use of commercial-grade plastics to meet the demand of highly regulated industry standards. The team at PEP is involved in all aspects of agriculture product design, engineering, and assembly, and we have access to the best commercial plastic inventory to manufacture products that will stand up to the demands of the agriculture and commercial farming industries.
Our custom plastic parts are designed to ensure reliability and high performance in all climates, and our goal is to provide all-weather products that are resistant to moisture damage, corrosion, and leakage. With our wide-ranging FDA-approved machinery from 38 tons to 825 tons, we have the capability to manufacture everything from vegetable trays to high precision engineered parts for commercial irrigation systems.
