                       PLASTICS MFG. COMPANY
                   EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN



 1.  ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN.

     Plastics Mfg. Company, a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"),
 hereby adopts the Plastics Mfg. Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan as
 hereinafter set forth (the "Plan") effective as of July 7, 2000.

 2.       STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

     A total of 200,000 shares of the common stock of the Company (the
 "Common Stock") will be available for issuance to employees who
 purchase shares in accordance with the terms of the Plan, subject
 to adjustments effected in accordance with Section 11.

 3.       PURPOSE.

     The purposes of the Plan are (a) to provide a means by which
 employees of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, TecStar Mfg.
 Company ("TecStar"), and employees of its other affiliates may purchase
 Common Stock and thereby enhance their sense of participation in the
 affairs of the Company and its affiliates and (b) to provide an
 incentive for continued employment.  For purposes of this Plan, the
 term "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Securities and
 Exchange Commission Rule 405.

 4.       ADMINISTRATION.

     (a)  The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of
 the Company (the "Board").  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
 Board shall have exclusive authority, in its discretion, to determine
 all matters relating to the Plan, including all terms, conditions,
 restrictions thereof, and to adopt, alter and repeal such
 administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it
 shall from time to time deem advisable, to interpret the terms and
 provisions of the Plan, and to otherwise supervise the administration
<PAGE>
 of the Plan.  The Board's exercise of discretion and interpretation of
 the Plan, its rules and regulations, and all actions taken and
 determinations made by the Board pursuant to the Plan shall be
 conclusive and binding on all parties involved or affected.
                                  -1-
     (b)  The Board may delegate its administrative duties and authority
 otherwise granted it pursuant to subsection 4(a) to any person or
 persons selected by it, as it deems advisable.

     (c)  All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of
 the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

     (d)  No member of the Board, no executive officer or other employee
 of the Company, and no other agent or representative of the Company
 shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction, or
 determination made in connection with the Plan in good faith, and all
 such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by
 the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or expense
 (including attorneys' fees) arising therefrom to the full extent
 permitted by law, except as otherwise may be provided in the Company's
 articles of incorporation and/or by-laws, and under any directors' and
 officers' liability insurance that may be in effect from time to time.

 5.       ELIGIBILITY.

     (a)  Each employee of the Company, TecStar, and each member of the
 MGS Group of companies which is an affiliate is eligible to participate
 in the Plan for any Offering Period (as hereinafter defined) under the
 Plan.

     (b)  For all purposes of the Plan, the terms "MGS Group" or "MGS
 Group of companies" shall mean those companies which are directly or
 indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlled by or under
 common control with Mark G. Sellers, the President of the Company as of
 the effective date of the Plan.

 6.  OFFERING PERIODS.

     Each offering period of the Plan (individually, an "Offering
 Period") shall be for such period of time as the Board shall, from
 time to time, and at any time., determine; provided, however, that the
 first Offering Period shall commence on July 11, 2000 and shall end at
 4:00 p.m. on July 31, 2000.  Notwithstanding the determination of an
 Offering Period by the Board, the Board shall have the express
 authority to shorten, extend, terminate or otherwise modify an Offering
 Period if, in its sole judgment, such action is required in the best
 interests of the Company or its shareholders or is required in order to
 comply with any provision of federal or state securities laws.
                                    -2-
 7.  PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN.

     An eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan during
 any Offering Period by delivering to the Company, on or before the
 expiration of the Offering Period, a properly completed Stock Purchase
 Form together with full payment for the number of shares of Common
 Stock to be purchased in accordance with the Form.
<PAGE>
 8.       PURCHASE PRICE.

     The purchase price for shares of Common Stock to be sold by the
 Company during any Offering Period shall be the fair market value of
 the Common Stock as determined in the good faith judgment of the Board.
 The Board shall not be required to secure an appraisal or other
 valuation of any kind in reaching a determination of the fair market
 value of the Common Stock.

 9.   PURCHASE OF SHARES AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

     The date of purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall
 be the last day of the Offering Period in which the fully completed
 Stock Purchase Form and full payment for the number of shares described
 thereon is received by the Company pursuant to Section 7.  The Company
 shall cause a stock certificate representing the number of shares
 purchased by an employee during any Offering Period to be issued
 within a reasonable period of time following the last day of the
 Offering Period.

 10.  LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS TO PURCHASE.

     If the number of shares to be purchased during an Offering Period
 by all employees exceeds the number of shares then available for
 issuance under the Plan, the Board shall make a PRO RATA allocation of
 the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably
 practicable and as the Board shall determine to be equitable.  In such
 event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the
 number of shares to be purchased to each participant affected thereby.

 11.  CAPITAL CHANGES.

     (a)  If the Company shall, after the effective date of the Plan,
 change the Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares
 through a stock dividend, stock split-up or combination of shares, the
 number of shares then subject to the Plan as provided for in Section 2
                                    -3-
 shall all be proportionately increased or decreased as of the record
 date for such stock dividend, stock split-up or combination of shares
 in order to give effect thereto.

     (b)  If, after the effective date of the Plan, there shall be any
 change in the Common Stock or other change in the capitalization of the
 Company other than through a stock dividend, stock split-up or
 combination of shares, including, but not limited to, a change which
 results from a merger, consolidation, spin-off, or other distribution
 of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not
 such reorganization is within the meaning of Section 368 of the
 Internal Revenue Code), or any partial or complete liquidation of the
 Company, then if, and only if, the Board shall determine that such
 change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of shares
 of stock then reserved for issuance under Section 2 such adjustment as
 the Board shall determine is equitable and as shall be approved by the
 Board shall be made and shall be effective and binding for all purposes
 of the Plan.

 12.  NO RIGHTS TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT; NO IMPLIED RIGHTS.

     The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment with any
 participant nor shall confer any right on any employee to remain in the
 employ of the Company or any affiliate or restrict the right of the
 Company or any affiliate to terminate such employee's employment.

 13.  NOTICES.

     All notices or other communications by a participant to the Board
 or Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have
 been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at
 the location, or by the person, designated by the Board or the Company,
 as the case may be, for the receipt thereof.  All notices or other
 communications to a participant by the Board or Company under or in
 connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given to the
 participant when (a) mailed to the participant's home address as
 indicated in the records of his employer, (b) in such manner as is
 customarily used by the Company in communicating with its employees and
 the employees of its affiliates with respect to the Plan or other
 employment matters, or (c) personal delivery to the participant.

 15.  TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

     The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  Unless
 the Plan shall have been previously terminated by the Board, the Plan
 shall terminate on September 30, 2002.

 16.  CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES; LIMITATION ON SALE OF SHARES.

     Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan
 unless the issuance and delivery of such shares shall comply with all
 applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without
 limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
 thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated
 quotation system upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be
 further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect
 to such compliance.

     The Plan and actions taken under the Plan shall be governed by and
 construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin without
