Extera Expands Services with Compounding & Pelletizing Machine
STATESVILLE, NC — Extera is excited to announce the completion and full operational launch of its in-house compounding and pelletizing machine. This major milestone expands the company’s capabilities and strengthens its position as a leader in sustainable material solutions.
This new system allows Extera to not only refine plastic regrind but also transform it into pelletized, high-performance material. These materials are ready for use across a wide range of industrial applications. By adding necessary modifiers and enhancements during the compounding process, Extera can deliver consistent, customizable recycled resin tailored to client needs, without the wait or dependency on foreign supply chains.
“This addition marks a pivotal moment for Extera,” said Josh Jones, President of Extera. “We’ve worked for over a year to bring this machine online, and now we’re able to serve our customers in a new way—by delivering greater value from the material they recycle with us and offering a higher-performance product made from post-industrial plastic.”
The new compounding capability complements Extera’s existing services in plastic recycling, container repair and replacement, and leasing. Extera can now offer customers a vertically integrated supply chain, from pickup of post-industrial scrap to regrind to compounded resin. Therefore, minimizing delays, reducing the need for virgin plastic, and creating a smarter, more circular approach to sustainable plastics manufacturing.
The launch of the compounding machine also strengthens Extera’s ability to respond to market shifts. This includes the growing demand for cost-effective alternatives to virgin resin, as well as the push for more advanced material performance across the packaging, industrial, and manufacturing sectors.
