History of Lancaster Mold, Inc.
In Lancaster, Pennsylvania in November of 1973, Richard C. Rehm, founded his closely held company which he aptly named Lancaster Mold, Inc. (LMI). With the help of Dick’s son, Gary, LMI entered the plastics industry focusing on injection mold repair. Today, the Company can design, build and run your plastic injection mold under one roof.
The personnel of the Company grew quickly to include Dick’s wife Gerry who handled the administrative duties for LMI. His son Scott joined LMI in 1977 and son Rick completed the family business by coming on board in 1978. Dick and his family ran a successful business for 25 years before he and his wife retired.
Today, Rick, Gary and Scott Rehm guide the Company under the same high standards in which LMI was originally founded. The second-generation ownership has provided a new vision for the future. This three-fold mission focuses upon manufacturing a quality product to satisfy valued customers’ needs, providing consistent employment with abundant opportunities for employees, and operating the firm in an efficient manner to insure success for many years to come.
Early on, LMI performed business in a 7,500 square foot facility on Ranck Avenue in Lancaster City. In 1993, with the company experiencing growing pains, management had the foresight to look beyond a small planned addition to the Ranck Avenue property. They proceeded to purchase a 20,500 square foot facility located at 2501 Horseshoe Road in Upper Leacock Township. This facility currently houses LMI’s Design, Mold Building and Plastic Production Departments. In 1996, LMI purchased an additional 22,000 square foot warehouse that is located a few blocks away. This building handles storage, assembly and production overflow. More importantly, the “warehouse” provides the venue for future growth.
Over the years, Lancaster Mold, Inc. has grown to employ well over 50 dedicated and talented employees. We recognize that the hard work of our people is the foundation of the Company. With a solid management team and an outstanding work force, we feel confident that LMI continues to be a leader in the plastics industry.
