Global Polymer Revolutionizes Polymer Manufacturing with Proprietary Custom-Molding Technology for UHMW-PE
MADISON, SD / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Global Polymer, a leading innovator in polymer manufacturing, has unveiled a proprietary new method for custom-molding Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), setting a new industry standard in what is possible with this high-performance material. Traditionally, UHMW-PE is supplied in sheet form and then fabricated, limiting the design flexibility available to engineers and manufacturers. Global Polymer's breakthrough process enables the company to custom mold UHMW-PE into complex, high-strength components with varying thicknesses and integrated features, giving OEM companies across various industries new freedom to design for performance, durability, and cost efficiency. "UHMW-PE is already a game-changing material-offering self-lubricating properties, extreme durability, and resilience across temperature fluctuations," said Todd Huntimer, President for Global Polymer Industries. "Now, with our proprietary molding technology, we are opening up an entirely new world of design possibilities. We can mold in fasteners, metal inserts, variable wall thicknesses, and geometries that were previously impossible with traditional fabrication methods." The new capability is already transforming applications in industries such as: Forestry EquipmentCar Wash SystemsMarine & Dock ApplicationsSewer & WastewaterFood ProcessingTransportation & Material HandlingAgricultureOil & GasMiningManufacturing With Global Polymer's technology, engineers can now specify molded UHMW-PE components that perform better, last longer, and simplify assembly without sacrificing the inherent advantages of this versatile polymer. "This is more than a materials innovation," added Huntimer. "It's a manufacturing revolution. We are enabling OEMs to achieve part consolidation, lightweighting, corrosion resistance, and extended wear life with a single custom-molded component." The company is actively working with OEM partners to develop custom UHMW-PE solutions that deliver tangible performance and cost benefits. About Global PolymerGlobal Polymer is a leading manufacturer specializing in innovative UHMW-PE solutions for demanding applications across a wide range of industries. With its proprietary compression molding technology, the company is redefining what is possible with UHMW-PE-providing engineered components that outperform traditional materials.

Global Polymer Industries Leads North America in Custom-Molded UHMW-PE Solutions, Offering OEMs Faster, Stronger, Smarter Manufacturing Options
Made in the USA, Built to Perform: Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Parts Designed for Durability, Customization, and Speed SIOUX FALLS, SD / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / Global Polymer Industries, a premier compression molder of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), is proud to announce its continued leadership as North America's top provider of custom-molded UHMW-PE components. From forestry and food processing to wastewater, agriculture, and advanced OEM manufacturing, Global Polymer delivers high-performance net-shape parts engineered to outperform traditional materials in even the harshest environments. UHMW-PE is a unique thermoplastic with a molecular weight between 3.1 and 10 million, resulting in exceptional wear resistance, impact strength, low friction, and chemical resistance. But what sets Global Polymer Industries apart is not just the material, it's how they mold it. "Our compression-molding capabilities allow us to produce net- or near-net-shape UHMW-PE components that eliminate the need for costly secondary machining," said Jeff Hieb, Plant Manager for Global Polymer. "That means faster turnaround, lower overhead, and exact-fit parts tailored to each customer's equipment needs." Built in America. Built for U.S.-based operations, Global Polymer helps manufacturing companies and OEMs reduce reliance on overseas suppliers and achieve shorter lead times. By partnering with Global Polymer, companies gain a competitive edge: Superior Material Performance - UHMW-PE parts resist wear, abrasion, moisture, and chemicals better than many metals or standard Delivery - Located in South Dakota, Global Polymer can produce and ship custom parts in significantly less time than offshore Molding Expertise - Whether it's sprockets for agriculture, wear liners for conveyors, or bushings for car wash systems, Global Polymer builds each part to spec and scale. Why OEMs Are Switching to UHMW-PE from Global PolymerMany OEM engineers are discovering that UHMW-PE's properties, combined with Global Polymer's net-shape molding process, can replace more expensive, heavier, or high-maintenance materials like steel, rubber, or nylon. Industries seeing the most benefit include: Forestry: Custom bushings, sprockets, and log-handling components that last longer with less & Wastewater: Chemical- and abrasion-resistant parts like liners, seals, and auger & Packaging: Wear strips, chain guides, and dock bumpers that enhance flow and reduce & Marine: Corrosion-resistant snowplow blades and dock protectors that perform in rugged Manufacturing: Custom-molded, high-volume parts, like wear pads, chain guides, and bushings, delivered with consistency and precision. Global Polymer's facility is engineered for both large-scale production and specialty part runs. From high-volume replacement parts to custom components for new equipment, their team partners directly with procurement specialists, engineers, and supply chain managers to streamline sourcing and maximize ROI. About Global PolymerGlobal Polymer is a North American leader in the compression molding of UHMW-PE components. With advanced manufacturing capabilities and an unwavering commitment to quality, the company specializes in custom-molded net-shape parts used across a wide range of industries.
