After twenty-five years in injection molding with two different companies, being unemployed provided great incentive. Further, a high level of customer service to smaller, local customers was difficult for the larger molders to provide.
Customers like to talk to management, get prompt response to their questions and feel wanted.
Sal Gonzalez was recruited to run the production floor, and Janet Evensen was recruited to manage the accounting and systems. Sal had spent the last ten years as the key molding technician at Puget, while Janet had helped install MRP systems at Grant and Roth Plastics and Quality Plastics. Both are partners in the business, and the three partners quickly learned to work together as a team. A lease was signed with PacTrust in November of 1995 for the 10,138 square feet currently in use. With tremendous support from TM Acceptance Corporation, the financial arm of Toshiba, four new Toshiba injection machines were delivered the last week of March of 1996.
