General Plastics Manufacturing Co.

General Plastics opened its doors to enter the rapidly expanding aerospace industry. 75 Years since its inception, we now see General Plastics as a global leader in manufacturing polyurethane foam and built-to-print composite parts. General Plastics Manufacturing Company has been an industry trailblazer for seven decades. Founded in 1941 by L.W. Schatz and still privately held, our company began as a manufacturer of preservative coatings for wood and other organic materials. Later in the 1940s, we ushered in the composites industry with new phenolic-resin plastic laminates for aircraft and commercial uses.
