Who Makes DuraSurf™?

DuraSurf™ is manufactured by Crown Plastics Co., in Harrison, Ohio. Since it began in 1972, Crown has become the world's leading producer of thin gauge ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the world, and the only company manufacturing this material on an exclusive basis.

Crown Plastics is divided into four main areas of business. The general industrial market is serviced through over 500 distributors worldwide, the largest group of which are in the U.S. and Canada. This area services thousands of orders per year for countless applications and products including pressure sensitive materials, cut to size, and stamped parts.

The OEM part of Crown directly serves very large, sophisticated industries and applications such as automotive, appliance, agriculture, and railroad markets with products that are designed to meet unique specifications provided by the customer. Quality and service are our hallmarks in serving these industries where customer-dedicated performance is not an option.

Crown supplies DuraSurf™ to the snowsports market with its sintered base materials. A major supplier to every North American snowboard manufacturer, Crown has quickly become the largest and highest quality producer of sintered base in the world. This reputation has spread from snowsports to wakeboard and kiteboard industries as well.

The fourth area is actually a support group for the other three, that being the engineering and development department. These individuals are charged with finding new and better processes and products, to constantly keep Crown Plastics on the leading edge of technology for the markets in which we participate. It is our success in this area that will determine our future, for although we manufacture UHMW, our product is service.
