It All Starts With the Part

At Husky®, we are committed to our customers’ long-

term success. With more than 50 years of experience in the

plastics industry, we can support the development of new

ideas from part concept through to production—offering

innovative products and services at each step.

Our early years as a moldmaker have allowed us to

develop a unique approach in solving customer

problems—that starts with their part. We work to gain

a detailed understanding of business and project require-

ments at the tooling level so we know what is required

to help customers successfully bring products to market

faster and at a lower cost. With their product launch needs

in mind, we offer a manufacturing solution that includes

the right combination of tooling, systems and services—

fully optimized for their application. With the industry’s

largest Service and Sales network, we are able to stand

behind our products with responsive, local support.

When customers bring us their project ideas—big or

small—we will show them how we can help make their

bold goals a reality.
