In plastic injection molding, quality and precision are only part of the equation. For OEMs, manufacturers, and product developers, where your injection molding partner is located can have just as much impact on your bottom line as how your parts are produced. From freight costs and lead times to supply chain resilience and scalability, location plays a critical role in keeping production efficient and predictable.

That’s where Texlon Plastics stands apart.

Located in North Carolina, Texlon Plastics offers customers a strategic logistical advantage that supports faster delivery, reduced transportation costs, and greater supply chain flexibility. Combined with their injection molding expertise, this geographic positioning allows Texlon to serve as more than a supplier—they become a true production partner.

A Strategic East Coast Hub for Injection Molding

North Carolina sits in one of the most advantageous manufacturing locations in the United States. Positioned along the Eastern Seaboard, the state provides fast access to major population centers, industrial hubs, and distribution corridors.

For Texlon Plastics customers, this means:

• Efficient shipping to East Coast, Southeast, and Midwest markets
• Reduced transit times compared to West Coast or overseas molders
• More predictable delivery schedules and fewer logistical disruptions

From Florida to New York and west toward Tennessee, Ohio, and beyond, Texlon Plastics can support regional and national customers without the delays that often accompany long-distance shipping.

Faster Transit, Lower Freight Costs

Transportation costs are one of the most overlooked expenses in plastic injection molding projects. Shipping molded parts—especially high-volume or bulky components—can quickly eat into margins when suppliers are located far from end markets.

Texlon Plastics’ North Carolina location helps customers:

• Shorten shipping lanes
• Reduce fuel surcharges and freight premiums
• Minimize reliance on expedited shipping

Shorter distances mean fewer handoffs, less congestion, and lower overall freight risk. For customers managing tight budgets or high-volume production, these savings can be significant over the life of a program.

Built for Speed: Robust Transportation Infrastructure

North Carolina’s transportation network is designed to move goods quickly and efficiently, making it an ideal environment for injection molding operations.

Texlon Plastics benefits from:

• Major interstate highways including I-40, I-85, I-77, and I-95
• Access to Class I rail lines for long-haul and bulk shipments
• Proximity to major air cargo hubs such as Charlotte Douglas International Airport and RDU International Airport

This infrastructure allows Texlon to adapt to customer needs—whether shipping full truckloads, LTL freight, or time-sensitive orders that require faster transit options.

Proximity to Major Ports Without Coastal Congestion

Global supply chains often depend on imported resins, tooling components, or international distribution. Texlon Plastics’ location provides convenient access to East Coast ports without the congestion commonly seen on the West Coast.

Key advantages include:

• Direct access to the Port of Wilmington
• Short transit to major ports like Charleston, Savannah, and Norfolk
• Faster turnaround for imports and exports

This port access allows Texlon to support customers with international supply chain needs while maintaining reliability and control over delivery schedules.

Supporting Just-In-Time Manufacturing

For many manufacturers, carrying excess inventory is no longer an option. Just-in-time (JIT) production models require suppliers who can deliver consistently and quickly without sacrificing quality.

Texlon Plastics’ geographic position makes JIT manufacturing more achievable by:

• Enabling shorter reorder cycles
• Supporting quick production ramp-ups
• Allowing flexible delivery schedules

When design changes, demand spikes, or production schedules shift, Texlon can respond faster than suppliers located farther away—helping customers stay agile and competitive.

A Strong Regional Manufacturing Ecosystem

North Carolina has long been a manufacturing powerhouse, and that ecosystem continues to benefit injection molding companies like Texlon Plastics.

Operating in this environment provides access to:

• Local and regional toolmakers
• Resin suppliers and material distributors
• Secondary operations such as assembly, packaging, and finishing
• A skilled manufacturing workforce

This concentration of resources reduces lead times, simplifies coordination, and minimizes delays caused by distant vendors. For customers, it means smoother project execution from tooling through production and delivery.

Improved Supply Chain Resilience

Recent years have shown how vulnerable global supply chains can be. Companies relying on overseas production or single-region sourcing often face delays, shortages, and rising costs.

By working with Texlon Plastics in North Carolina, customers gain:

• Reduced dependence on international shipping
• Faster recovery from disruptions
• Greater control over production timelines

A centrally located East Coast injection molder provides options when routes are disrupted, ports are congested, or demand suddenly increases.

Serving a Wide Range of Industries Efficiently

Texlon Plastics’ logistical advantages allow them to serve customers across many industries, including:

• Industrial and commercial products
• Consumer goods
• Construction and building products
• Automotive and transportation components
• Packaging and specialty applications

No matter the industry, the ability to move molded parts quickly and cost-effectively is a major competitive advantage—one Texlon delivers consistently.

More Than Location: A Smarter Injection Molding Partner

While North Carolina’s location provides undeniable logistical benefits, it’s Texlon Plastics’ ability to leverage those advantages that truly sets them apart. By combining strategic geography with injection molding expertise, Texlon helps customers reduce costs, streamline operations, and bring products to market faster.

The result is a partnership built on efficiency, reliability, and long-term value.

For companies seeking a North Carolina plastic injection molding provider that understands both manufacturing and logistics, Texlon Plastics offers a solution that goes beyond the press—delivering smarter supply chains from the heart of North Carolina.
