Waltrich Plastic Corporation was created, in 1961, in order to process a recently developed thermo plastic named polypropylene. It was founded by Walter Polnau and Richard Pokrandt, hence the name Waltrich. They opened the first factory in New Jersey, initially to extrude monofilament yarns. Later, we started to weave the yarns into narrow fabrics. In the mid 70's, a second plant was established in Walthourville, Georgia. Our Georgia plant is much larger than the New Jersey plant was, so we consolidated equipment and manufacturing operations into the Georgia plant.

      Currently, Waltrich Plastic Corporation manufactures monofilament yarns made from various resins. These monofilaments are sold to customers for various applications in addition to internal usage. We weave our monofilament yarns into narrow fabrics such as lawn chair webbing, binding tape, barricade tapes and other speciality products.
