Mack Molding Celebrating 100th Anniversary

February 11, 2020 by Larry Hovish 3 Comments

ARLINGTON, Vt. (Feb. 11, 2020) – Mack Molding is making history as it prepares to celebrate a century of service to its customers.

Mack’s first Vermont facility in Arlington, Vt., circa 1942.

Founded in Little Falls, N.J., in 1920, Mack originally manufactured bottle caps and the first ever plastic part used in a commercial product for the Otis Elevator Company. Today, Mack is a leading custom plastic injection molder and supplier of contract manufacturing services to a range of industries, including medical, industrial, transportation, energy and environment, computer and business equipment, consumer goods, robotics and 3D printing.

“A lot has changed over the past 100 years,” said Mack Molding President Jeff Somple. “When Mack started there were three rebuilt injection presses and we molded with UF and Bakelite. Today we have a multitude of materials to choose from with highly engineered characteristics, and Mack itself has more than 120 injection molding machines ranging from 28 to 4,000 tons.

Some classic Mack products, including milk crates, Schick razor displays, measuring spoons and battery jars – the latter of which the Company still molds today in Arlington, Vt.

“Of course, while plastic injection molding is the core on which Mack was built, today we truly are a vertically integrated product development and manufacturing partner that can help take ideas from inception through prototyping to manufacturing and distribution.” Somple added. “Some things, however, haven’t changed, like our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.”

Mack Molding is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the privately-held Mack Group Corporation, which also includes Mack Technologies, Mack Prototype and Synectic Product Development. With annual revenue of $482 million, Mack Group has approximately 3,000 employees working in 11 locations throughout Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Mexico. Mack Group has a total of 1.5 million square feet of manufacturing space.

Mack Molding’s centennial festivities include the unveiling of its 100 Year Logo, sharing historical highlights, and several other activities throughout the year, the highlight of which will be a celebration for employees at all locations on March 17, 2020 – the actual anniversary of the Company’s incorporation.

    Mack Molding has provided jobs to many people in and around Inman for years. From friends that I’ve talked to, it has been a great place to work. Inman has been proud to have Mack be a part of the community.

    My grandfather, Charles C. “Clarence” Nix, would have been very proud of the company’s 100th anniversary. He was a long-time career employee who was a machinist and served as chief of the fire department unit.
