Western Plastics History
Since 1979, Western Plastics has provided high-quality plastic injection molding solutions to industries that demand precision, reliability, and innovation. Our success is built on a foundation of technical expertise, continuous improvement, and a commitment to exceeding customer expectations.
Simple Beginnings
In the early 1960’s a company called Quikut, located in Fremont, Ohio, developed a plastic handle for its cutlery business and purchased several injection molding machines to begin this new venture.
At that time, they invested in capital equipment, increased its manufacturing capabilities and began a core group to produce plastic injection molded components for many national brands.
Expansion and Relocation to Tennessee
injection Molding Since 1979
In 1978, the plastic portion of Quikut was split into two separate groups. The plastics division was managed by Western Enterprises, located in Avon Lake, Ohio. In 1979, to support the core group inter-divisional business, Western Enterprises opened a new facility in Portland, Tennessee.
In 1983, the company began to compete in the custom plastics open market and continued its rapid growth.
In 1989, the Western Enterprises Company was divided into two groups, creating Western Plastics in Tennessee, while the other business remained in Ohio.
