Founded by Duke Keiswetter and son Paul Keiswetter

Every new year brings its own set of surprises, challenges, breakthroughs, triumphs, and memories. 2019 marked our 50th year as a company. We have had our trials and tribulations through the years, but each new obstacle has made us stronger as a company.

We prevailed when others couldn’t and we pushed on through the hard times, acknowledging and celebrating every success, big and small, along the way.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT As one of the essential components of our mission statement, Petoskey Plastics has always considered the strength of our relationships with our communities to be an important measure of our business’ success. Time and again we have been honored to invest our resources back into our neighborhoods and witness the impressive growth that follows.

We couldn’t be more proud to have associates on our team who are willing to dedicate their time and talents to those in need after a long day of work. As an organization, we follow their generous example by offering financial support to local groups in an effort to earn the appreciation and respect of the communities where we operate.

Charitable Mission Statement In living true to our company mission statement, we contribute to our business communities with our giving focus on youth and their wellness.

Since 2014, Petoskey Plastics has donated over $500k to 240 organizations.

2019 was the highest amount given in a year in company history with $144,500 donated.

13

Promoting Manufacturing Careers As with our corporate donations, education and the success of local youth has been the focal point of some of our most exciting community outreach programs.

In response to the skilled labor shortage in the plastics industry, and in support of workforce development in our area, North Central Michigan College worked handin-hand with Petoskey Plastics to foster enthusiasm for the manufacturing program on campus.

"The contributions that Petoskey Plastics and the Keiswetter family have made show true investment in our North Central student body and our local Petoskey community – we couldn’t be more proud to work with such a wonderful organization. Our relationship allows us to provide critical educational resources to our students, and in return, we offer the associates at Petoskey Plastics valuable training through our workforce development program."

- Cameron Burnet-Koch, President of North Central Michigan College

Donation of a micro blown film line to North Central Michigan College's manufacturing lab.

We attend many local community events that allow us to teach students first-hand about skills and unique roles that are found within manufacturing.

Every year, Manufacturing Day is promoted through student tours of our facilities.

The skills gap for manufacturing may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled between 2018-2028.

This is why it's so important for student outreach!

Every year in October, hundreds of local students can be found touring our three manufacturing locations. Our Associates lead students through our facilities and provide them with valuable insight into production and the skills they can start working on now if they choose a future in manufacturing.

It's always an event that kickstarts many students into thinking about a career in manufacturing.

EACH MONTH WE RECYCLE OVER

2.5 million lbs of landfill-bound plastic bags and stretch wrap.

3-Layer Film Technology Our exclusive vertically integrated manufacturing process creates high-performance polyethylene products through our 3-layer construction. We are able to add recycled material to the core of the film without losing its integrity and strength. It performs equally as well and even better than film made with virgin material. This high-strength, 3-ply film structure adds strength and flexibility to our products which maximizes performance in various polymers.

Our 3-layer technology meets the highest performance requirements depending on the specific product market.

SUSTAINABILITY SCORECARD Making the decision to engage in a recycling philosophy means taking on social and economic responsibility to care for the environment. As a company committed to innovative sustainable manufacturing, Petoskey Plastics took on the challenge to quantify the impact that their customers’ recycling practices are actually having on the planet.

The scorecard was created for customers who purchase products made with recycled blown plastic film. This gives our customers and closed loop partners the advantage of evaluating the actual impact of their purchasing efforts, and communicates it in a way that investors, employees, and their customers can easily understand.
