PLASTIC SUPPLY, Inc. Written by Jeff Longden, Branch Manager
Londonderry, NH
P lastic Fabrication Made Simple From prototyping to production runs- we’ve got you covered!
“I want to say one word to you, just one word. Plastics…” Just five years after the famous quote from 1967’s The Graduate resonated with millions around the world, Plastic Supply Inc. was founded and has been servicing a diverse array of industries ever since. Plastics are still a relatively new discovery, only dating back to 1856 when the first “man-made” plastic, Parkesine, was invented by Alexander Parkes in Birmingham, UK. It wasn’t until the early 1900’s, with the discovery of synthetic thermosetting by Leo Baekeland, that many of the modern-day plastics we’re now familiar with began to be produced. Today, the plastics industry is worth a whopping $962 billion dollars annually! Plastics truly are everywhere, typically found in already produced consumer goods. But where do you go when you need something custom?? Who can you source if you just want to buy raw material?? How do you even go about deciding which grade and type of plastic is best suited for your needs?? Plastic Supply provides one stop shopping, literally, for all of your needs! Our state of the art facility, located just off Exit 5 on I93 in Londonderry, NH, is fully stocked with a large array of plastic sheet, tube, rod and more. Visit our showroom to touch and feel the many plastics available. Once you determine an appropriate plastic, we can simply walk from the warehouse to our production floor and make whatever you can imagine- from prototyping to production runs. We know plastics, we know the industry, and most importantly- we know the importance of customer service! Fabrication “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”- Vince Lombardi Our team works with plastic every day. We understand the nuances of each substrate and the importance of perfecting each detail throughout the production process. The primary services we offer are listed below: CNC Routing Laser Cutting Assembly Prototyping File Creation & Design Cutting
Custom formed acrylic access guard.
Threaded Delrin male/female set.

Precision Plastic Machining “Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest working person in the room.” – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Expertise in plastics machining is something we pride ourselves in. Plastic Supply has acquired numerous machine shops over the decades, the most recent being just this past Summer. Through these acquisitions, we’ve been able to continuously expand our offerings and increase efficiency and knowledge when it comes to tight tolerance, precision parts.

Plastics in the Industrial Fields “Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded” – Unknown Plastic Supply services an endless array of industries, however some of our most common requests consist of polycarbonate machine guards, custom welded chemical and water tanks, drip pans, custom commercial bed liners, clean room inspection stations, spray booths, high temperature gears, endless types of machine and turn parts, abrasion resistant windows, laser blocking windows, urethane and PVC conveyor belts, “go no go” custom gauges and more! In addition to these industrial applications, we also produce contemporary acrylic furniture, outdoor cabinetry, debate podiums, custom cutting boards, windshields, museum vitrines and spend much time working with artists. Our parts end up all over the world and have even found their way into outer space! “One of the coolest things about being in the industry since the early 70’s”, according to Bill Johnson, our General Manager, “is seeing the ever-evolving generations of the same parts pass through our shop over and over again throughout the decades. Many of these parts were partially engineered by me and it’s something else being involved with the constant improvement and

AIRLINE PILOT ANNOUNCEMENT YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR This is your Captain speaking....these darn planes are a lot different than the ships I'm used to..so you'll have
to give me some leeway...... I’D SAY….STOP, LET ME OUT!!!
Berlin, CT. – November 27, 2018 – Sirois Tool was pleased to host a Phase 2 Freshman Exploratory Facility Tour for a small group of students on November 14th. They were accompanied by Mr. Hood, the Precision Machining Department Head from Vinal Technical High School located in Middletown CT. The tour was provided to educate the students about manufacturing so they will be able to make a more informed decision when they go through career selection.
A group of Sirois Tool employees had the chance to speak with the students before they got to see behind the scenes of a job shop. The group included: Alan Ortner, President; Andre Nadeau, Operations Manager; Scott Horton, Production Manager; Cheryl DiPinto, Human Resource Manager; Dane Hoeffer, Quality Manager, 2 of our Vinal Tech graduates, Raymond and Timothy and one of our current Vinal Tech seniors, Ian.
The Sirois Tool representatives had a chance to talk to the students about different opportunities, the benefits of manufacturing careers, skills needed and how some of them ended up in their positions. The Vinal Tech students each talked about what’s expected in Mr. Hood’s class, some of the great things that they had the ability to do and what they made while in class. Work-based Learning Programs and being able to work for a company during shop cycle time were also topics of discussion. The students then got a chance to tell a little about themselves, what they wanted to do and why.
At the time of the tour the students were guided through each department and given an explanation of what each area of the facility did and why. They also had the opportunity to touch and examine some of the parts made, which opened the door to ask questions about the machines and materials used to make the parts.
There were several students that seemed to like what they saw and at the end of the day, hopefully were encouraged to consider manufacturing for their future career path. It is critical to educate today’s young adults and parents about the benefits of working in the field of manufacturing to grow the future workforce
Sirois Tool manufactures precision tooling, jigs, fixtures, machine parts, and custom gages as well as complex, precision parts and assemblies for several industries. Other Sirois Tool companies include Dow Gage, manufacturer of a line of Dow-Gages for in-process and post-process inspection of precision-machined parts and North American Spring Tool, a world leader in tooling for the spring and wire industry.
