AmeriLux International, a distributor and fabricator of plastic sheets, and Brett Martin, announced the formation of American Polycarbonate Company.
This joint venture will manufacture polycarbonate sheets at AmeriLux’s new 500,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution center in De Pere starting in early 2026.
APC combines AmeriLux’s distribution, fabrication, and logistics expertise with Brett Martin’s 60 years of sheet extrusion experience. Both are family-founded, privately held companies. Founded in 2004, AmeriLux thrives on entrepreneurial partnerships. Established in 1958, Brett Martin has grown from a family operation into a global leader.
APC will produce polycarbonate sheets for construction, agriculture, horticulture, data processing, and architecture, featuring advanced glazing for safety and energy efficiency.
Paul Martin, Group Director of Brett Martin Ltd., said, “This joint venture marks our commitment to long-term engagement in the US market and a recognition that dedicated local manufacturing, and service provides the optimum package for American customers. By uniting our technical extrusion expertise with AmeriLux’s customer-centric distribution model, Brett Martin and AmeriLux are creating a platform that delivers innovative, high-quality products while upholding shared values.”
Kurt Voss, CEO of the AmeriLux Family of Companies, said, “Simply put, we are chasing our potential. This joint venture is a testament to the strength of family-owned businesses partnering for mutual success and sustainable progress. APC will not only enhance our ability to supply polycarbonate sheets produced in the United States, but it also reinforces our commitment to building lasting relationships with customers, employees, and the community. This is the definition of a win-win.”
APC’s initial production will include multiwall and corrugated polycarbonate sheets of varying gauges and specifications, with plans for expansion and R&D to develop new products for evolving market needs.
