About Drake Plastics Ltd. Co.
Drake Plastics Ltd. Co. is headquartered in Cypress, Texas. The company was founded in March 1996 by Steve Quance, who recognized an opportunity to supply machinable stock shapes in specialty grades of Torlon® PAI polymer after a major supplier discontinued a product needed for the Javelin missile program. Quance, then an Advanced Products Manager at a large stock shapes supplier, invested personally to establish Drake Plastics and fulfill that initial order. Today, Drake operates what it describes as the world’s largest facility dedicated to processing ultra high-performance polymers. The company extrudes stock shapes — rod, plate, seamless tube, sheet, film, and balls — in Torlon PAI, PEEK, Ryton PPS, AvaSpire PAEK, Ultem PEI, and proprietary Drake PAI grades. It also runs injection molding and precision machining operations, enabling hybrid molded/machined parts when tolerances exceed what molding alone can achieve. Additional in-house services include re-curing, annealing, priming, coating, laser engraving, CT inspection, CMM inspection, and mechanical testing. Drake serves aerospace, defense, oil and gas, transportation, electrical, and fluid-handling industries. Its customer base includes OEMs, government agencies (such as the Javelin missile program), universities, distributors, and fabricators worldwide. Products are shipped globally from the Cypress facility, with sales offices in Germany, France, and Taiwan providing local support. The company emphasizes its near-net stock shapes that minimize machining waste, a quality system certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015, and an on-time delivery rate typically above 98%. Its culture of product and process development aims to deliver unique solutions not available elsewhere, a philosophy rooted in the founding mission to produce what no other supplier could or would.
