Our History

Company founder Frank P. Tourville, Sr., set the vision for Zeus from its earliest days in 1966: After being in the extrusion industry for nearly ten years, Mr. Tourville set out to “do it better.” Through his personal drive and his business philosophy and acumen, Frank Sr. transformed Zeus into a global leader of polymer extrusion solutions and advanced technologies. Throughout Zeus’ often rapid growth, Mr. Tourville and Zeus remain committed to improving the industries and the lives of the people that we work with.
