Welcome to 2026 and welcome back to That Plastics Guy!

As we start the new year, now is a great time to plan your planned maintenance for all of your production equipment! Your main processing equipment, upstream and downstream equipment. Do it now and be proactive and avoid excessive down time.

It could also be an ideal time to look at staff training programs (both process and personal development).

Make 2026 a memorable year (for all of the right reasons)!

Happy Holidays!!
