Etienne,
If you mean the expanded polystyrene bead trays with the pyramidal holes, I have a manufacturing source in Kentucky. The price is very low, low enough to make me consider starting to deal in them so we all get a discount. Contact me at my email address, mikerock AT mhtc.net.
If anyone else is interested, let know.

Hello everyone,
Last March, we had a discussion on the Winstrip plug trays. I heard a
lot of good about this design (air-pruning the root), and I very much
like the idea of buying durable plug trays that will last all my farming
career. So I have been hunting for a source lately.
I checked FarmTek, and they do not carry them. I did email FarmTek, and
they (very promptly!) replied that they might consider adding these to
their product line in the future, and provided me with contact info of
the manufacturer. I called, but the number have been disconnected. :(
It seems like the manufacturer is nowhere to be found on the Internet
either. As such, I give up on Winstrip. If someone knows of a reseller
of these elusive trays, I would love to hear about it.
Alternatively, if someone knows of another manufacturer of durable,
air-pruning plug trays, I would also like to hear about that. My
Internet search turned up Proptek, located in California. Anybody has
experience with these?

You have to order a container load from them or hope that they, or someoneAnybody knows where we can these in small qty? I would buy a couple to
else, has a part load left over. I agree they are the next best thing to
blocks, especially if you use enough mix. Mine are 10 years old now and if I
don't drive over them will last the rest of my growing career I think.
see how well they work.
I love the idea of buying supplies that will last a lifetime, but I do
not really need a containerful of plug trays either! :)
