About Louisiana Plastic Converting
Louisiana Plastic Industries was founded in 1973 by Sidney R. Wilhite in West Monroe, Louisiana. Today, the company operates under the leadership of Wilhite's sons, John Mark Wilhite and Ross Wilhite Jr., who continue as owners. The manufacturer runs an 80,000-square-foot facility on four acres, equipped with 13 advanced blown film extrusion lines. These lines produce high-density, low-density, and linear low-density polyethylene films, as well as polypropylene, in widths up to 80 inches. The operation includes custom film blending, pre-slitting, perforating, and tubing, delivering single-wound and two-ply sheeting tailored for multi-wall bag production and other industrial packaging needs. Primary customers serve the multi-wall bag industry, with films also used in roofing, food service, and specialty applications. The company's strategic location alongside the CPKC Railroad, supported by eight on-site silos and a dedicated truck fleet, enables direct delivery across the United States. Louisiana Plastic Industries emphasizes rigorous quality controls, including FDA-compliant virgin resins, gluability treatment, and continuous monitoring of gauge, width, moisture vapor transmission, and oxygen transmission rates. Every order is inspected during production, and the company guarantees on-time delivery backed by its own logistics network.
