Yes, we provide in-house custom fabrication services, to meet your exact project needs including:
Common options include UHMW for wear and low friction, HDPE for moisture and chemical resistance, acetal (Delrin) for dimensional stability and precision parts, polycarbonate for impact-resistant guards, ABS for durable housings, polypropylene for chemical resistance, and PVC for corrosion-resistant fluid handling components.
Common benefits include weight reduction, corrosion resistance, lower maintenance costs, quieter operation, and easier customization. In many applications, plastic parts can last longer than metal in wet, abrasive, or chemical-heavy conditions.
Plastics offer corrosion resistance, durability, and design flexibility, which are critical in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, cleaning processes, and constant use. These benefits make plastic components valuable across both farm and factory settings.
Engineering is central to Midland’s process. Each project begins with an application review to evaluate load requirements, wear points, environmental exposure, and performance goals before selecting materials or fabrication methods.
Our facilities are ISO 9001:2015 certified, ensuring quality standards in materials and manufacturing processes.
