About Metro Custom Plastics
Metro Custom Plastics was founded in 1972 in Grand Prairie, Texas, and incorporated in the state that same year. The company began by manufacturing plastic components for the demanding oilfield industry, building a reputation for quality in harsh environments. Today the company operates a 75,000-square-foot facility running 14 injection molding machines 24 hours a day, five days a week. Clamping forces range from 230 to 650 tons with shot sizes up to 80 ounces, producing parts up to 5 pounds and 480 square inches. An in-house tool room equipped with CNC technology supports mold design, tooling, and transfers. Beyond molding, Metro provides turnkey secondary services including assembly, CNC cutting, private labeling, kitting, packaging, and warehousing with delivery. The manufacturer serves the oil and gas sector with thread protectors and end caps, municipal water works with meter housings, and the construction industry with concrete forming appliances. Customers range from businesses seeking outsource molding capacity to those reshoring production through seamless mold transfers. Metro emphasizes its central U.S. location for shipping efficiency, robotic automation for consistency, and design-for-manufacturability expertise to reduce cycle times and defects. The company states its focus on continual improvement and the ability to handle prototype through high-volume runs with lead times of two to three weeks for production and eight to ten weeks for new tooling.
