Vista Plastics provides custom plastic extrusion services for manufacturers in the RV, marine, appliance, and vehicle industries. Whether you need trim for RV interiors, rubber rails for pontoons, or gaskets for refrigeration units, Vista builds practical parts with accuracy and consistency.
What Is Custom Plastic Extrusion?
Custom plastic extrusion is a process where melted plastic is pushed through a shaped opening (die) to create long, continuous pieces in a specific shape. These shapes can be used as trim, seals, channels, or covers. Extrusion is ideal for high-volume production and is often used in industries where precise sizing and material strength are required.
Vista’s team works directly with customers to produce parts in the size, shape, and material they need — from flexible vinyl to harder plastics or rubber. Colors, textures, and finishes can also be customized.
In-House Capabilities for Custom Plastic Extrusion
Vista Plastics operates with full in-house control, meaning all design, tooling, and manufacturing steps happen under one roof. This setup helps reduce lead times and improve quality. Vista’s plastic extrusion capabilities include parts such as:
- RV and marine trim
- Rubber rail for boats and pontoons
- Window and door gaskets
- Clips and plugs
- Glazing vinyl
- Rigid plastic track
- LED light channels
- Screen spline
Vista also offers color matching services, allowing manufacturers to match extrusion colors to interior finishes, brand standards, or other components. This helps ensure a clean, professional appearance across every part of the final product.
These products are used by RV builders, boat manufacturers, appliance companies, and other OEMs that need strong, repeatable parts.
Extrusion for RV and Marine
Vista works with RV and marine manufacturers across North America, providing custom plastic extrusions for both interior and exterior use.
In the RV market, Vista supplies plastic trim that can include built-in LED lighting. These parts are often used in valances, ceiling panels, edge trims, light channels, and decorative moldings. On the exterior, plastic extrusions are used for drip rails, seals, and protective edging — helping improve both appearance and durability.
For marine applications, Vista’s new rubber rail extrusion is designed to protect pontoons and boats from impact with docks or other vessels. It’s made for outdoor use, with materials that resist UV exposure, saltwater, and moisture. In addition to exterior protection, Vista also produces interior components such as trim strips, panel edging, and structural supports — all designed to perform well in marine environments.
Supporting High-Volume and Precision Projects
Vista’s equipment can support both small and large extrusion runs. Recently, Vista completed a project using the largest extrusion die in company history. The part was a breaker strip used inside commercial refrigerators to help keep cold air in place. The setup required large steel components and water-cooled blocks to maintain accuracy during production. This example shows Vista’s ability to handle large and high-precision extrusion jobs.
