Drake Plastics

Drake Plastics Ltd. Co. makes high performance polymer products. Its focus is ultra high performance plastics such as Torlon PAI and PEEK. The company was founded in March 1996 to supply machinable stock shapes made from specialty grades of Torlon PAI.

The company extrudes, injection molds, post-processes and machines these polymers. It supplies stock shapes in a wide range of sizes and configurations to machine shops worldwide. Its stock shapes include Torlon grades, PEEK, Ryton R-4 PPS, AvaSpire PAEK and Ultem PEI.

The materials range includes Drake PAI thin sheet and film, Vespel grades, PEEK carbon fiber resin and CryoDyn CT-200 cryogenic grade material. It also includes Drake PCTFE and Drake HTT-400BG thermoset composite. Each material has an overview page and a data page on the website.

Precision machined parts and prototypes are made in its own facility. The injection molding operation turns ultra high performance polymers into molded parts. The company says these parts serve a wide range of industries.

Drake Plastics supplies OEMs, government departments and agencies, universities, distributors and fabricators. It ships products from its facility in Cypress, Texas. The company says this is the largest facility in the world dedicated to processing these polymers. Its sales offices are in Germany, France and Taiwan.

Product and process development is a core capability. The company works with customers on new formulations and applications. Its aerospace and defense clients rely on its AS9100D quality management system, which the company applies to all customers.

Customers can ask for material selection help, a quote or a sample through the website. The company has also highlighted a new building front in 2026. The company's mission is to provide advanced polymer solutions that enhance the performance of customer products and processes. Its strengths are technical expertise, exceptional customer service and broad processing capabilities.
