Forum Plastics LLC

About Forum Plastics LLC

Forum Plastics LLC operates from Watertown, Connecticut. The company traces its roots to 1992 when GM Tool & Forum Molding Inc. was founded. In 2009, ownership was consolidated under Forum Plastics Inc., and in 2016 the business was acquired by Squadron Capital, a private equity group that reinvests proceeds into technology enhancements. The leadership team includes President Mark Polinsky and Vice President Andrew Butkus. The company provides injection molding services with a focus on complex geometries, insert molding, over molding, and micro molding for parts as small as 0.005 cubic inches. It operates an ISO Class 7 cleanroom for assembly and packaging, and offers in-house mold design, fabrication, and repair through a full-service tool room equipped with CNC machining centers, EDM machines, and precision grinding. Additional capabilities include pad printing, laser marking, rapid prototyping, and advanced metrology such as industrial CT scanning, CMM, and VMM inspection. Monthly production volumes range from 100,000 to 200,000 parts, supported by a staff of 101 employees across a facility that added 10,000 square feet in 2015 and moved to a new location in December 2025. Forum serves the medical device, life sciences, industrial, and military/defense markets. Its customer base spans early-stage startups to global original equipment manufacturers, with the company emphasizing support through concept planning, design for manufacturability, regulatory process navigation, and full-scale commercialization. Forum differentiates itself as an engineering-based contract manufacturer that reinvests in new equipment—such as Arburg micro molders, Keyence measurement systems, and additive freeform 3D printing—to accelerate project timelines. The company highlights its ability to move from prototype to production in days rather than months, and its ITAR registration enables work on defense-related programs.
