These cost-control programs are integrated into an improved job quotation system. In 1980, Discovery Plastics landed its first display job, a dealer display for Hewlett Packard. Discovery begins to promote its capabilities in plastic displays to others such as Pendleton, Nike, White Stag, Millstone Coffee and Jantzen. The result - a true marketing focus and increased sales. By 1981, ever-increasing sales of Lucite displays runs the company out of plant capacity, requiring a move to this 5,000 square foot building.
Profits increase, too.
In 1982, a catalog is printed in black and white showing line drawings of clear plastic displays and transparent Plexiglas store fixtures. In 1983, Discovery Plastics is appointed exclusive supplier for Jelly Belly acrylic displays. Increased sales causes the addition of a second shift to meet customer demand. In early 1984, the company moves again to a modern 16,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Tangent, Oregon. Discovery Plastics now produces over 400 stock acrylic displays for catalog sales.
