Manner Plastics, L.P. History

Founded in 2000, Manner Plastics, L.P. is a privately held manufacturer of flexible PVC compounds. Manner Plastics has established itself as a leading producer of PVC compounds for wire & cable, extrusion and injection molding applications. Our products are used in automotive, appliance, industrial, electrical, telecommunications, consumer goods and construction markets.

Though Manner Plastics was founded in 2000, its roots are over 50 years old. The predecessor of Manner Plastics (Manner Plastic Materials) was founded in 1960 to provide flexible PVC compounds to serve the wire and cable market in California. From our earliest days, Manner has earned a solid reputation for quality, service and product development. Manner was the first major compounder to certify itself as 100% lead free and now proudly offers our entire line of PVC compounds as RoHS and REACH compliant.

In 2009, Manner Plastics, L.P. expanded its product capabilities with the purchase of PVC Compounders, LLC. With this acquisition, Manner added more than thirty years of appliance and automotive wire & cable development experience to our portfolio - firmly establishing Manner as the leading supplier of flexible PVC compounds to customers serving the appliance, automotive and electrical OEMs.
