UP NORTH PLASTICS was
founded in 1981 by a group of people dedicated to supplying high
quality, specialty plastic products to the agricultural industry. What
began as a small manufacturing facility with three production lines has
grown into a modern 250,000 square foot plant with 14 extrusion lines,
all capable of producing the highly technical products required by the
industry. This capability,
combined with a highly trained sales staff and the best raw materials
available, makes us the only manufacturer of high quality polyethylene
material specifically designed for use in this industry. After all,
plastic is our only business.
Our full line of high performance
agricultural products includes:
- SILAGE BAGS
