It took creativity, resourcefulness, and originality to evolve what was once a small-shop operation into one of the largest thermoforming companies in the world. Our journey is marked by our innovative spirit, a dedication to industry expertise, and a commitment to employee and customer success. A Look at Plastic Ingenuity Through the Years From our start in 1972 with just 5 employees, Plastic Ingenuity has grown into one of the largest thermoformers in the nation. 1972 – A Humble Beginning With just 5 employees and a 1,300 sq-ft. garage in Madison, Wisconsin, Plastic Ingenuity got its start. 1976 – Forming Our Brand From 1976 to 1980, our services, sales, and employee base really began to grow. With over 50 employees and new capabilities like in-house extrusion, Plastic Ingenuity took shape. 1987 – Shaping Our Services From 1987 to 1992, we focused on expanding our capabilities even further, including matched metal trimming, CNC machining, CAD/CAM design, co-extrusion, PET technologies, and in-line thermoforming technology. 2000 – Growing for the Future From 2000 to 2006, Plastic Ingenuity continued to grow its Wisconsin headquarters while also opening a location in Mexico. We started polypropylene inline thermoforming and railcare resin procurement, and implemented a labelling system. 2007 – Completing Our Offices Plastic Ingenuity continued to build additions to its offices, expanding to include space for growing engineering departments.
