You first produce methacrylic acid. Once you're there, you esterify it to methyl methacrylate monomer. Polymerizing the monomer produces polymethyl methacrylate, which is the chemical name of acrylic plastic. Over 8 billion kilograms of acrylic were sold in 2015, so there are a lot of companies making it and quite a few different processes.
