Our Story

Three friends with a vision to start a company to machine parts from a new product called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE / Filled PTFE) established Plasidyne in 1969. Over the years we have grown by being able to adjust to the constantly changing needs of the plastics industry. Advances in technology enabled Plasidyne to excel at producing precision-machine, high-quality plastic parts at a much higher rate. But no matter how much we have grown, or how much technology has evolved … one thing hasn’t changed—our dedication to deliver high-quality products quickly and cost-effectively.

Mission Statement

Our strength and dependability comes from putting the customer first. Over the years, Plasidyne’s reputation for quality and on-time delivery has allowed it to become a financially sound and secure company with an outstanding reputation among its customers.

Quality Assurance

our Accreditations

AS9100 / ISO Certified

Our Quality Management System is both AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified. Adherence to these international quality standards reflects our strong commitment to delivering high-quality, precision-machined parts at competitive pricing and according to schedule. At Plasidyne, customer satisfaction and high quality is assured.

Environmentally Controlled Inspection

We maintain an environmentally-controlled inspection room manned by a fully-trained and qualified inspection staff. And unlike many manufacturers, Plasidyne has an ISO-certified internal auditor to ensure that our Quality Management System remains compliant with international standards. We also perform annual calibration of all inspection tools and inspection sampling to MIL-STD-105e.

ITAR Compliant

There is an area of regulation that is of vital importance to government contracting firms – the ITAR. The ITAR – the International Traffic In Arms Regulations – are State Department controls that regulate the U.S. defense industry. Companies regulated under ITAR are subject to a number of broad requirements including registration requirements, restrictions on transfer of regulated software and technical data, restrictions on the performance of defense services for foreign parties, the requirement to obtain export licenses and record keeping requirements. Since violations can result in criminal liability for the company, including imprisonment for the company’s owners and employees, it is imperative for government contracting firms to have a clear understanding of this important area of the law.

Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS)

Plasidyne can be found in the OASIS database maintained by the International Aerospace Quality Group, whose mission is to implement initiatives that make significant improvements in quality and reductions in cost throughout the value stream by establishing and maintaining dynamic cooperation, based on trust, between international aerospace companies.

Management Commitment

Plasidyne’s management team ensures that quality objectives, including those necessary to meet product quality requirements, are established at relevant levels throughout the organization. Our quality objectives are measurable and consistent with our QMS and high company standards. This results in the superior product quality and on-time deliveries that are critical for our customers.
