King Plastic Corp. celebrates its 50th anniversary

King Plastic Corp., a manufacturer of quality polymer sheets, slabs, and massive shapes, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

A half century later, King Plastic has developed several breakthrough polymer products and now manufactures over 20 product brands and commodities for a variety of industries to customers who distribute and fabricate products for the marine industry, signage, food service, healthcare, architectural, industrial, and other markets. The company pioneered the first marine-grade polymer sheet, King StarBoard®, which remains the dominant brand in the marine industry today.
