SimEx™ is a West Virginia-based vinyl
extrusion company that uses recycled pre-consumer vinyl
generated within the company’s own extrusions process and at
Simonton Window’s various manufacturing facilities. SimEx
sells any vinyl waste that cannot be used in its own products
to other extruders for re-use in the manufacturing of pipe
materials. For the window and patio door construction process,
Simex manufactures vinyl components with multi-chambered
construction that offers superior energy efficiency
capabilities once the products are installed in homes or
buildings. Finally, Simex products can be safely disposed of
by incineration or in a landfill, categorizing them as
efficiently recyclable.
