The original company was founded by Jim
Merrick in 1961. It was established to manufacture a new line of highly automated
and specialized machinery. The company having proved extremely successful, began a
diversification program into the plastic business in 1972. As the company grew and
developed it was incorporated into various divisions.
Today these companies are
structured as Limited Partnerships and each business is a stand alone company doing
business in separate facilities with independent offices, manufacturing and
warehousing. With sustained and programmed growth, these they have continued to
modernize and expand the physical assets, state-of-the-art equipment, and add talented and
competent personnel.
Together the business is
split 50-50 between custom and proprietary products, in the packaging, irrigation,
signage, and automated machinery. With an active customer base of 2250 accounts, we
produce a wide range of products serving almost every area of the economy. This
diversity includes products for recreation, agriculture, breweries, cookware, automotive,
plumbing, manufacturing and medical industries. Products produced are for both
domestic and international.
Total company employment is
250 dedicated quality employees. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction
we have assembled certified engineers supported by cad-cam systems, competent marketing
professionals that meet customer's expectations, and CPA's and the clerical staff that can
complete the information flow.
We rely on the past as our
guide, with a renewed sense of commitment to these principles that produced results, we
are prepared and eager for the challenges of tomorrow.
