Our Shadow Plastics, Inc. was founded in 1970 by Alvin Schissel and Gordon Willson. At that time, Shadow Plastics exclusive service to the plastic industry was in reprocessing poly film. It wasn't until the mid-1970's that Shadow started to blow Low Density film. Shadow Plastics has grown in the polyethylene film market over the last two decades and has expanded its capabilities.

Plastic materials are objects artificially made from organic compounds called polymers along with other additive components. They possess excellent formability, making them extremely versatile for many different fabrication and manufacturing processes...
Plastic Injection Molding
Plastic injection molding, or commonly referred to as injection molding, is a manufacturing process used in the mass fabrication of plastic parts. It involves an injection of molten plastic material into the mold where it cools and...
Plastic Extrusion
Plastic extrusion, also known as plasticating extrusion, is a continuous high volume manufacturing process in which a thermoplastic material -- in the form of powder, pellets or granulates -- is homogeneously melted and then...
Plastic Tubing
Plastic tubing is a form of tubing that is manufactured from a mixture of a polymer with a variety of chemicals to form a material that can be solid or flexible. Since its first use in the 1950‘s, plastic tubing has revolutionized industrial processes and has found a use in a wide variety of applications...
Blow Molding
Blow molding is a type of plastic forming process for creating hollow plastic products made from thermoplastic materials. The process involves heating and inflating a plastic tube known as a parison or preform. The parison is placed between two dies that contain the desired shape of the product...
