PLNI claims to make "Duralast" plastic lumber

That's another claim that is not verifiable. See the listings of plastic lumber manufacturers from Plastics News below.

The only place you'll find "Duralast" plastic lumber is in Plasticon press releases.

There is a "Duralast" battery though.

the batteries for some North American carmakers, sold under a variety of brand names, among them DieHard, Duralast, EverStart and Motorcraft. The battery division injection molds polypropylene casings and connections, but the operations are limited in press size.

Promold is an injection molder and I have not heard anything about them being able to extrude plastic lumber.

This is what PLNI says -

Increased Demand for ProMold, Inc. Products Leads to $1 Million Backlog of Orders
Wednesday October 26, 8:30 am ET

After Completing the Acquisition of ProMold, Inc. on November 9, Plasticon Will Begin a 6 Day Per Week, 24 Hour Per Day Production Cycle to Meet Demand
...
Mr. Turek also mentioned that ProMold, Inc. is currently profitable and has contracts that are worth close to $5 million annually. "ProMold, Inc. is one of the premiere injection molding companies of the Midwest. When Plasticon takes over the ProMold facilities, we will be able to reach up to $20 million in production and sales annually as is. And with the addition of the new high-capacity molding machine that we recently purchased, the plant will now be able to produce up do $28 to $30 million in production and sales annually," Mr. Turek said.

Promold is not "...one of the premiere injection molding companies of the Midwest." as Turek claims.

Here's Promold -

Designers and builders of precision thermoplastic injection molds, extrusion and pultrusion dies, serving the electronics, aerospace and medical industries.

Persistence the key to gaining attention
Joseph Pryweller
July 12, 2004

Getting the attention of lawmakers in Washington is not always as simple as taking a trip to the Capitol.
Steve Schler, president of ProMold Inc. of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, found that out personally. He and a group of toolmakers and machine-shop owners from northeast Ohio were invited to a small-business forum in the Capitol in June.

Maybe Turek was thinking of this Promold -

Promold adds Nissei all-electric machine

CROMWELL, CONN. - Promold Plastics has added an all-electric, 33-ton Nissei Elject NEX 300 injection molding machine to boost its precision molding capabilities.

Operations director Bill Bulman said the machine, installed in March, has a new controller that permits high-speed management of injection time. Monitoring can be done via laptop or phone connection. The press also has software to equalize control of the barrel heaters.

A movable platen combined with a stationary platen helps reduce process variation. The shot size can be as small as 0.4 ounce.

Promold now operates 14 injection presses, with clamping forces of 28-300 tons. The custom molder and toolmaker focuses on building products demanding tight tolerances and high precision. It serves the medical and electronics markets.

The privately held company employs 50 in a 30,000-square-foot facility. The firm was founded in 1967 by Riccardo Puglielli and is in its second generation with his son, Richard Puglielli, as the president.

Cromwell-based Promold also offers pad printing, sonic welding, tapping, drilling and insert pressing.
