History
Metro Plastics Technologies, Inc. was founded in 1975. The business philosophy at this time was to provide superior custom molding services to a regional customer base. Indianapolis was a hub of manufacturers including such companies as RCA, Western Electric, Chrysler, GenAir and many more. This represented a very large and diverse client base. The company was originally named Metro Molding, synonymous to their services. Growth through the 70s and into the 80s required that the company move to larger facilities. After 2 moves in rented facilities, Metro purchased land in Noblesville, Indiana in 1981 and built a facility where they remained until 2018.
Currently the operation utilizes 24 injection machines ranging from 15 ton to 700 ton in a new custom designed, 72,000 square foot, air-conditioned plant. After over 30 years of success, Metro continues to meet customer needs. Metro has grown from a shoot and ship molder into a full-service manufacturing solutions provider. The client base encompasses a wide variety of fields, including; consumer electronics, medical, housewares, food services, automotive, sports equipment, communication devices and many others.
Metro looks for opportunities to assist customers from concept to market. The early involvement allows us to provide support in concept decision, material selection and tool design. We provide solutions and add value to every step of the process. The end result is the best possible product - value combination.
The added benefit does not end once the product is launched. We have developed many other supply chain products to continue to increase value for our clients; stocking programs, supplier managed inventory, material leveraged purchasing and bar-code inventory are a few of these advantages.
