Cloeren Incorporated

Cloeren Incorporated is a privately held American engineering and manufacturing company specializing in flat-die extrusion tooling — extrusion dies, feedblocks, and coextrusion systems — used to produce plastic film, sheet, and coating products. The company is headquartered in Orange, Texas, and was founded by Peter Cloeren, an engineer whose inventions in multi-manifold coextrusion feedblock design became the technical foundation of the business. Cloeren's core offering is precision tooling for the plastics processing industry: single- and multi-manifold feedblocks, extrusion dies for cast film, sheet, and extrusion coating, and related components such as internal deckles and layer-multiplying systems. These products are sold to film and sheet producers, packaging converters, and equipment OEMs, and are used in applications ranging from flexible food packaging to optical and specialty films. The company operates as a family-owned, privately held business rather than a publicly listed corporation, and it markets itself on engineering innovation and customization rather than high-volume commodity production. Its customer base is international, with sales into North America, Europe, and Asia, though its manufacturing footprint remains centered in Texas. Because Cloeren is a business-to-business component supplier, it has low public brand recognition compared with consumer brands, but it is well known within the plastics extrusion equipment sector. The brand's reputation rests on proprietary feedblock and die technology, patent portfolio, and long-standing relationships with major film producers.

Cloeren Incorporated was founded in 1975 by Peter Cloeren, an engineer and inventor who developed proprietary feedblock designs for coextruding multiple polymer layers in a single flat-die extrusion line. The company established its manufacturing operations in Orange, Texas, and grew by supplying specialized tooling to film and sheet producers who needed to combine layers of different polymers for barrier, optical, or structural performance. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Cloeren built a patent portfolio around multi-manifold feedblock and die technology, which allowed converters to produce complex multilayer structures with better layer uniformity and reduced waste. This technical differentiation positioned the firm as a specialist supplier rather than a general machinery builder. As flexible packaging and specialty film markets expanded globally, Cloeren extended its sales reach beyond North America into Europe and Asia, while keeping engineering and manufacturing concentrated in Texas. The company remained privately held and family-controlled, avoiding the consolidation that reshaped much of the broader plastics machinery sector. In the 2000s and 2010s, Cloeren continued to develop die and feedblock systems for demanding applications such as high-barrier packaging films, optical films, and extrusion coating, and it invested in service and retrofit capabilities for existing extrusion lines. The brand's modern identity centers on precision engineering, customization, and technical support for extrusion processors worldwide.
