Products from Petoskey Plastics

In 1987 the company applied for and obtained a patent for a SlipNGrip® polyethylene disposable seat cover. Petoskey Plastics developed extensive experience in manufacturing and using recycled polymers.  They first began in-house recycling in 1978 and in 1990 they were awarded a grant from the state of Michigan through the Quality of Life Bond Fund to recycle post-consumer polyethylene waste. Fifty percent matching funds were provided and all production requirements were satisfactorily completed, enabling Petoskey Plastics to purchase a recycle line from Italy to reprocess plastic scrap.

The recycle department was further expanded with wash line technology to reprocess post-consumer bags & film in 1991 with State of Michigan assistance through a Quality of Life Grant.  The Petoskey plant features numerous extrusion lines utilizing recycled materials originating from its Indiana recycling facility. The Morristown Plant today has multiple extrusion lines utilizing recycled materials, along with converting lines and a 4 color offset paper printing press.  The summer of 2007 marked the opening of their new corporate headquarters building in downtown Petoskey.  Later in 2007 they completed renovations to a former garage door manufacturing facility in Hartford City, Indiana; converting the building to a 330,000 square foot leading-edge recycling facility. In 2013, they added blown film manufacturing and converting lines.
