Since 1970, Petoskey Plastics has been the innovator in manufacturing blown plastic film and bags that are engineered for performance. We are an industry leader supplying the automotive, grocery, medical, recycling, food, retail, packaging, and construction industries with engineered solutions that meet specific needs. We first began recycling in 1978 and have never stopped thinking green. Our Greencore® closed loop recycling program takes used plastic out of the waste stream and puts it back into customer products. Thanks to our innovative, multi-layer manufacturing process, we're supplying our customers with high-performance polyethylene products that are good for them and good for the environment.
Our corporate headquarters and original manufacturing plant are in beautiful Petoskey, Michigan, with additional manufacturing facilities in Morristown, TN; Hartford City, IN; and McKinney, TX. Hartford City is the home of our, 300,000 square foot recycling and distribution facility. The main sales office is in Birmingham, Michigan. Our mission at Petoskey Plastics is to earn the appreciation and respect of our customers, associates, and communities. This philosophy has led to continuous growth since our founding in 1969. We use environmentally responsible manufacturing and packaging processes that preserve resources, reduce our carbon footprint, and improve our quality of life.
