Hi- I am looking for a referral for plastics mass production - will consider both USA and China at this point although I am leaning towards USA (I think that it may make more sense in terms of shipping costs and time).  Have any of you worked with a plastics manufacturer that you liked and would recommend? Thanks, Rachel

Usually companies only go overseas when quantities justify containers.  I would suggest that you even stay in your area.  I do not know of any near you but I'm sure there are many reliable and ethical plastics manufacturers in the Pittsburg area. 

Here's a good resource to search

Rachel,

What plastic manufacturing technology do you need: Injection molding, blow molding, roto-molding, etc? We have a few plastics molders in the York, PA area. You can also use these resources to narrow the industry down: Thomas.net, macraesbluebook.com, or globalspec.com.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Rocco
