UP NORTH PLASTICS was founded in 1981 by a group of
people dedicated to supplying high quality, specialty
plastic products to the agricultural industry. What began
as a small manufacturing facility with three production
lines has grown into a modern 250,000 square foot plant
with 14 extrusion lines, all capable of producing the
highly technical products required by the industry. This capability, combined with a
highly trained sales staff and the best raw materials
available, makes us the only manufacturer of high quality
polyethylene material specifically designed for use in
this industry. After all, plastic is our only business.
Our full line of high
performance agricultural products includes:
