Inteplast
United States Beginnings
Over twenty-five years ago we were founded upon a strong belief in the American workforce and its abilities to manufacture world class products in the United States. Over time Inteplast Group grew to encompass locations beyond the U.S. and North America but we still always harken back to our humble beginnings in Lolita, Texas, where we built our flagship location.
Bigger, Better in Texas
The remote South Texas land upon which we built our plants and offices in 1991 was convenient for the construction space it afforded us and we also didn’t have the typical zoning restrictions. We were fortunate, too, in that we accessed cost-efficient utility services, among the lowest in North America.
A Culture Built on Trust
It was during this time in the early 1990s that we also came to discover the culture of our hard-working colleagues in the area and their surrounding South Texas communities. This created an opportunity for local and regional partnerships built on trust.
Sustaining a Workforce
Eventually Inteplast’s growing position as a leader in domestic manufacturing allowed us to ensure that even through the recessions, we remained firmly anchored stateside in Texas. At the time, this maverick-like stance was in contrast to other companies that elected to lay off their professionals and shutter their American operations with the intention of reopening and starting anew outside of the United States.
A Leader in Manufacturing
Today, Inteplast Group comprises more than 50 locations in North America and maintains a culture that integrates transparency, capacity, innovation, and continuous improvement. We aim to contribute to various markets throughout the world in a manner that respects the needs of our workforce, a global economy, and a planet with resources that must sustained.
