[edit] History

Plastech started in 1988 with the purchase of a single injection molding facility in Caro, Michigan. Since then the company has achieved rapid growth through a mixture of organic growth and acquisitions, the most notable of the latter being the purchase of United Screw and Bolt in 1997 and LDM Technologies in 2004.[1] This growth has propelled Plastech to above US$1 billion in annual sales to such clients as General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Daimler Chrysler, and Toyota.[2]. Run by CEO and founder Julie Brown since its beginnings, in 2005 Phil Martens moved from a top executive position at Ford Motor Company to become Plastech's president and COO.[3]
