This year, Venture Plastics, Inc. proudly celebrates 55 years of delivering high-quality injection-molded parts to a wide array of industries. Our success story has been shaped not only by the trust and collaboration of our customers and suppliers, but also by the unwavering commitment, dedication, and teamwork of our employees for over half a century.
Our story began in the late 1950s when Ken Groff, our founder and CEO, first entered the rubber and plastics industry as part of the estimating department at Geauga Industries. With a vision for something greater, he established Venture Plastics, Inc. in 1969 in Warren, Ohio. One of the company's first milestones was producing the Franzus Clothes steamer, which laid the foundation for the company's future growth and potential.
By 1973, the company relocated to Newton Falls, Ohio, where it continues to thrive today. Over the years, the facility has evolved, with the addition of new office, warehouse, and lobby spaces in 1986, followed by further expansions of warehouse and shipping capacity between 1995 and 1997.
In 2006, Venture Plastics extended its reach by opening Southwest Venture Plastics in El Paso, Texas. This 61,000-square-foot facility complemented the Newton Falls operations, offering injection molding machines ranging from 55 to 1450 tons and enabling it to serve an even broader customer base with diverse needs.
Ken Groff's guiding philosophy—"Remember to keep HIPP!" (Honesty, Integrity, Principle, and Pride)—remains at the heart of our company's culture. These values have been the cornerstone of our organization, ensuring not only the quality of our work but also the trust and loyalty of those we serve.
As we mark this significant milestone, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our customers, suppliers, and employees. Your support and collaboration have been essential to our success, and we look forward to continuing this partnership for years to come. Thank you all for being part of our journey and helping us build a legacy of excellence!
Venture Plastics serves a wide range of markets from both facilities, including transportation, agriculture, appliances, consumer goods, power backup, fuel delivery, telecommunications, rail, food preparation, point-of-purchase, and medical sectors. The company, a leader in custom injection molding services, has maintained its reputation for excellence and innovation since 1969.
With 82,000 square feet of space in Newton Falls, Ohio—including 57,000 square feet dedicated to molding, engineering, and sales operations, and 25,000 square feet for warehousing—and 60,000 square feet in El Paso, Texas for molding and warehousing, Venture Plastics is well-equipped to meet increasing customer demands.
