Innovation. Productivity. Solutions.

American Louver, founded in 1946, is a US manufacturer of high quality plastic products. We are ISO 9001:2000 Certified which underscores our commitment to providing our customers with the best service and the highest of standards of production. We are continually focusing on improving our processes and technologies.

Injection Molding
We can produce custom plastic injection molding in a variety of engineering thermoplastic materials.

  • Engineered Resins (glass filled)
  • Polypropylene
  • Acrylics
  • Polystyrene (Styrene)
  • Polycarbonate

We are equipped to produce injection molded parts ranging from 225 oz. to 265 oz. We also have the capability of gas assist technology to reduce part weight and maintain surface consistency.

Blow Molding
Our flexible, custom designed accumulator head blow molding systems feature rapid color change, closed loop hydraulics, electronic controls, and state of the art screw design for processing polyolefins, and other materials. Machine sizes:

  • Clear Platen area 48”W x 58”H
  • Shot capacity of 20 lbs., HDPE
  • Clamp tonnage: 100 tons
  • Clamp open daylight (max.) 62”
  • Clamp closed daylight (max.) 16”

Thermoforming
Our rotary thermoforming machine is ideally suited for production of large parts in materials ranging from 0.100” to 0.500” thickness.  The 3-stage rotary system consists of:

  • 48” x 48” thermoforming table
  • Maximum mold size of 50” x 110” long

Metallizing
Our vacuum metallizing and polymer deposition system is designed to control the metal and topcoat consistently from load to load. This equipment can eliminate the need for a conventional organic top coat, thus reducing solvent emissions.

We have 4 – 84” diameter vacuum chambers.

Additional Operations

  • Hot stamping
  • Ultrasonic assembly
  • Other secondary operations capabilities
