Processor of the Year
We had three outstanding finalists for the 2024 award, and we revealed the winner — Redline Plastics LLC — on March 12 at our Executive Forum in La Jolla, Calif. Redline's trophy case is overflowing these days, which is amazing considering the company is only seven years old.
Tessy Plastics Corp. may be 52 years old, but it's still able to move like an Olympic sprinter.
The Hastings-based company has transformed itself since 2019 into an employee-driven organization that takes an aggressive approach connecting training to moving up the company ladder — or, in Intek parlance, leveling up into new tiers.
It was a decision that Redline Plastics LLC was concerned it might regret. Two years before COVID-19 first reared up and led many manufacturers to worry about survival while the world was shutting down, Redline was formed, opening a rotational molding plant in Manitowoc, Wis.
Redline Plastics, a Manitowoc, Wis..-based rotational molder and thermoformer, is Plastics News' 2024 Processor of the Year.
Henry Beck, the founder of injection molder and contract manufacturer Tessy Plastics Corp., died March 9. He was 90.
Staying in business for more than 50 years requires constant innovation and investment — in equipment, in technology, in people and in markets.
Intek Plastics LLC, Plastic Molding Manufacturing Co. and Redline Plastics LLC are finalists for the 2024 Processor of the Year award. There is also a 2024 Sustained Excellence award winner: Tessy Plastics Corp. of Skaneateles, N.Y.
