If you need impact and abrasion-resistant skid plates, grain spouts or most anything you can think of, Malcolm Johnson likely has what you need. He has been making parts and accessories out of plastic for ag equipment for 40 years.
  “Thousands of grain elevators use our spouts, as well as drags and conveyors,” says Johnson, Maljohn Plastics. “We make a huge amount of products for farming. We do direct sales to farmers, as well as through suppliers.”
  The company makes and sells an array of component parts, customizing them as needed, as well as making the plastic used in production. Maljohn specializes in ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) plastic for their own use, as well as supplying UHMW sheets, rods, tubes, extrusions and machined profiles to others.
  “We work primarily with abrasion resistant materials,” says Johnson. “We are the only ones in North America making about 40 percent of the inputs for what we manufacture.”
  Part of Johnson’s success is due to employee expertise. The company hasn’t had a layoff in 36 years, giving customers a lot of knowledge to draw upon.
  “We do 2D forming and bending, complex and simple cutting, machining and application of adhesives and metal attachments,” says Johnson. “We use CAD programmable cutting, machining, punching and stamping, as well as lathe-prepared parts.”
  One of the company’s strengths is the ability to customize. From design assistance to prototypes to components, the company works with customers.
  “We do a huge amount of custom work from 2 pieces to 500 or 1,000,” says Johnson. “Because the grain industry never wants things the same, we customize auger flights, spouts and telescoping chutes from 6 in. to 8 ft. We do the same for everyone.”
