Global Polymer Industries Leads North America in Custom-Molded UHMW-PE Solutions, Offering OEMs Faster, Stronger, Smarter Manufacturing Options
Made in the USA, Built to Perform: Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Parts Designed for Durability, Customization, and Speed SIOUX FALLS, SD / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2025 / Global Polymer Industries, a premier compression molder of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), is proud to announce its continued leadership as North America's top provider of custom-molded UHMW-PE components. From forestry and food processing to wastewater, agriculture, and advanced OEM manufacturing, Global Polymer delivers high-performance net-shape parts engineered to outperform traditional materials in even the harshest environments. UHMW-PE is a unique thermoplastic with a molecular weight between 3.1 and 10 million, resulting in exceptional wear resistance, impact strength, low friction, and chemical resistance. But what sets Global Polymer Industries apart is not just the material, it's how they mold it. "Our compression-molding capabilities allow us to produce net- or near-net-shape UHMW-PE components that eliminate the need for costly secondary machining," said Jeff Hieb, Plant Manager for Global Polymer. "That means faster turnaround, lower overhead, and exact-fit parts tailored to each customer's equipment needs." Built in America. Built for U.S.-based operations, Global Polymer helps manufacturing companies and OEMs reduce reliance on overseas suppliers and achieve shorter lead times. By partnering with Global Polymer, companies gain a competitive edge: Superior Material Performance - UHMW-PE parts resist wear, abrasion, moisture, and chemicals better than many metals or standard Delivery - Located in South Dakota, Global Polymer can produce and ship custom parts in significantly less time than offshore Molding Expertise - Whether it's sprockets for agriculture, wear liners for conveyors, or bushings for car wash systems, Global Polymer builds each part to spec and scale. Why OEMs Are Switching to UHMW-PE from Global PolymerMany OEM engineers are discovering that UHMW-PE's properties, combined with Global Polymer's net-shape molding process, can replace more expensive, heavier, or high-maintenance materials like steel, rubber, or nylon. Industries seeing the most benefit include: Forestry: Custom bushings, sprockets, and log-handling components that last longer with less & Wastewater: Chemical- and abrasion-resistant parts like liners, seals, and auger & Packaging: Wear strips, chain guides, and dock bumpers that enhance flow and reduce & Marine: Corrosion-resistant snowplow blades and dock protectors that perform in rugged Manufacturing: Custom-molded, high-volume parts, like wear pads, chain guides, and bushings, delivered with consistency and precision. Global Polymer's facility is engineered for both large-scale production and specialty part runs. From high-volume replacement parts to custom components for new equipment, their team partners directly with procurement specialists, engineers, and supply chain managers to streamline sourcing and maximize ROI. About Global PolymerGlobal Polymer is a North American leader in the compression molding of UHMW-PE components. With advanced manufacturing capabilities and an unwavering commitment to quality, the company specializes in custom-molded net-shape parts used across a wide range of industries. Built in the USA, Global Polymer helps OEMs reduce costs, improve part performance, and accelerate delivery-without compromising durability or precision.

ICE makes arrests in South Dakota city where Noem was subjected to a protest three days earlier
A worker welds together heavy machinery in June 2023 at a Manitou Equipment America plant in Madison. The plant was subjected to a "worksite enforcement action" on May 13, 2025, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (Joshua Haiar/South Dakota Searchlight) U.S. immigration officials conducted a 'worksite enforcement action' Tuesday in Madison, three days after their boss, Kristi Noem, was subjected to a protest in the same South Dakota city. The media office for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a written statement that the agency's action was at Manitou Equipment America and Global Polymer Industries, 'in response to information or allegations received by ICE Homeland Security Investigations.' The statement said ICE enforces business compliance with federal employment eligibility requirements and has the responsibility to conduct worksite enforcement initiatives 'targeting employers who violate employment laws.' 'During these operations, any alien determined to be in violation of U.S. immigration laws may be subject to arrest, detention, and, if ordered removed by an immigration judge or other authority, subject to removal from the United States,' the statement said. The statement did not say how many were arrested in Madison, but said 'those arrested during the enforcement action at Manitou Equipment America and Global Polymer Industries have been presented for Federal prosecution for violations of U.S. law or were placed into deportation proceedings.' Noem delivered the commencement address and received an honorary degree Saturday at Dakota State University in Madison. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the graduation ceremony to protest the actions of Noem and the Department of Homeland Security that she leads, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. This is a developing story that will be updated. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
