We aspire to be the best, not the biggest. Our goal is to become a valuable client resource and build close, lasting relationships. Our customers rely on us to solve technically challenging jobs that require a combination of ultra-high performance injection molding thermoplastics expertise, insert molding (also known as overmolding), tight tolerances and complex or thin-walled part geometries . We are committed to solving your engineering challenges and providing components that enhance product performance.
Performance Plastics was founded in 1982 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since our founding, we have worked with customers to take advantage of the performance benefits of high-temperature thermoplastics.
In 1997, the company was acquired by Tom Mendel, who brought a passion for solving customers' most difficult problems and two decades of technical and management experience. Since then, Performance Plastics has expanded its engineering and thermoplastics manufacturing base with key team additions. Additionally, Tom brought in micro-cap private equity firm MCM Capital in 2015 as a value-added partner and source of additional capital to accelerate growth in performance plastics.
In 2022, the performance plastics company was added to the Pexco family of companies. Headquartered in Atlanta with multiple facilities in the United States and Mexico, Pexco is a leader in the design and manufacturing of engineering plastic parts in North America. Pexco www.pexco.com provides a full range of custom design, engineering and manufacturing services within its manufacturing operations.
Our facility has recently been expanded and we have made significant investments in state-of-the-art tooling, including the latest electronic injection molding machines, robotic handling, automated vision inspection and quality equipment, to further our goal of becoming a world-class manufacturer of ultra-high performance thermoplastic parts Top manufacturers and designers.
Performance Plastics has been molding PEEK since it was first introduced in the early 1980s and we have expertise in Torlon, various fluoropolymers (such as PFA, FEP, PVDF, ETFE, etc.) and other high performance thermoplastic compounds. Additionally, our company is one of the few capable of injecting fluoropolymers using 8-cavity high-volume molds with hot runner systems to produce thin-walled complex parts.
