Introducing the Wilks Xtrude Range – Recycled Fendering

Flexiteek International is excited to announce the launch of Xtrude, an advanced and sustainable fendering range from its renowned Wilks product range.

Developed under Wilks, a Flexiteek product, Xtrude represents a major step forward in marine fendering technology, delivering the same trusted durability and performance that professionals expect, with a firm commitment to sustainability at every stage of production.

Through recent advances in materials technology, the Flexiteek team has engineered Xtrude incorporating 50% recycled Flexiteek 3 production surplus. This innovation significantly reduces the use of virgin raw materials and closed the loop on production surplus while maintaining the quality, weather resistance, and longevity synonymous with Wilks products.

Made in part from bio-attributed PVC derived from renewable Tall Oil, which is a by-product of sustainably managed forests. Xtrude delivers the same exceptional durability and performance as traditional fossil-based PVC while significantly reducing environmental impact. Incorporating surplus material from Flexiteek’s own production processes, Xtrude also helps close the loop on manufacturing waste, contributing to a circular, low-carbon approach to product design. By choosing Xtrude, marine professionals can help lower greenhouse gas emissions and support a more sustainable marine industry.

“At Flexiteek, sustainability is at the heart of our innovation strategy. The launch of Xtrude within the Wilks product range demonstrates how performance and environmental responsibility can work hand in hand. This development marks another important step in our commitment to a greener marine industry,” said Adam Ramsden, Flexiteek Group CEO.
