<strong>Plastic</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> <strong>Associates</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. (PEA) has been in continuous service to the<br />
thermoplastics extruded foam industry since 1968. Jim Fogarty (Chem. Eng.) was<br />
instrumental in developing the modern tandem foam extruder and is the founder of PEA.<br />

and innovator. His client’s list is a veritable who’s who in the industry, and includes Shell,<br />
Mobil, Pactiv, Sekesui, Japan Styrene Paper, Daicel Chemical, Sealed Air, Nova Chemicals,<br />

PLA Foam Equipment & Extruders<br />
Since we have the inventor of the modern tandem foam extruder as our founder, and<br />
have spent six years developing extruded PLA foam equipment and process technology<br />
with the world’s largest PLA resin manufacturer, NatureWorks, LLC, we like to think we<br />
have learned a thing or two about what a PLA tandem foam extruder should look like in<br />
terms of its equipment, configuration, design and function. We have already designed the<br />
ancillary equipment for extruded PLA foam (screws, dies, etc.). We’ve written the<br />
specifications for the ultimate PLA foam extrusion system. We think there will be a<br />
tremendous market for PLA tandem foam equipment and extruders in the future. If you<br />
presently are a foam equipment manufacturer, or a company which wants to participate<br />
in the greening of the extruded polystyrene foam industry, contact us for a confidential<br />
discussion.<br />
