The Plastek Group was originally founded by Joe Prischak in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1956 as a small injection mold building company. Today, the family-operated company is a globally recognized injection mold builder, molder, assembler and decorator for the consumer goods, health and beauty, food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries that has grown primarily through organic, internal growth with new customers and new projects. The company’s tooling divisions include Triangle Tool and Penn Erie.

To remain competitive, Plastek says it invests heavily in automation and other labor-saving equipment for all its moldmaking and molding/assembly/decorating operations. This enables the company to challenge both domestic and foreign competition, keep people employed  and is a core component in providing a high-quality, reliable supply chain to Plastek’s customers.

Ultimately, says the company, its dedicated workforce is the key to Plastek’s success. Culture and work ethics are common in all divisions worldwide, and retain a focus on satisfying the customer. Combined with the company’s in-house product development/design, the Plasteks Group promotes itself as a turnkey operation.

The Plastek Group will be showcasing its products and services at Amerimold 2021.
