Plastikos

Present day

Founded by Timothy Katen and David Mead (Co-owners of Micro-Mold).

1989

Plastikos, Inc was founded in 1989 by Tim Katen and Dave Mead (Co-Owners of Micro Mold) along with Gary McConnell. Plastikos was started within an incubator space, in Erie PA with a focus on molding small, complex components. A year later, Bill Fogleboch joined the executive team.

As sales increase, Plastikos moves into its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in 1995 on Hawthorne Drive in Erie. The brand new facility was initially built to accommodate eight injection molding machines

Electronic Connector & Telecommunications are at an all-time high. Plastikos expands for a third time to accommodate 27 injection molding machines.

During this time, Plastikos focuses on increasing efficiency throughout the facility as well as market diversification. Also, Gary McConnell and Bill Fogleboch announce their retirement plans from Plastikos

2005-2009

Class I medical molding starts to gain traction. In 2009, Tim and Dave retire from Micro Mold & Plastikos as the second generation (Philip, Ryan, & Rob) transition into ownership of the companies.

At this time, the strategy to further diversify into medical molding becomes a top priority and strategic focus for the new ownership team.

We’re reshaping the way people think

and the world in which we live.

Plastikos was founded in 1989, as we began to diversify our core offerings from solely designing and building molds to a full suite of mold design, engineering, & fabrication along with sampling, advanced qualification and production services.

Today, Plastikos is a world-class custom injection molder that continues to push the technical boundaries of the plastics industry.

Committed to complex, tight tolerance applications, we bring together experts from multiple disciplines to deliver exceptional products, service and value on every project. It’s a mindset that extends throughout our entire organization—and influences our approach as we cultivate future strategic partnerships.

With more RJG Master Molders and degreed plastic engineers than any other manufacturer of similar size, we believe in continuously reinvesting in our equipment, our people, our technology, and our facilities. The continuous improvement strategy keeps us on the leading edge of innovation and injection molding excellence.
