Precision Molded Plastics

About Precision Molded Plastics

Precision Molded Plastics operates from Upland, California, where Ted F. VanVoorhis founded the company in 1979 as an ultra‑small‑parts specialty molder serving the electronics and early computer industries. VanVoorhis, a charter member of the Southern California chapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers, quickly established the firm as a leader in what is now known as micromolding. In 2004 his son David assumed leadership and became president and CEO in 2009, continuing the family‑owned operation. The company specializes in high‑volume runs with a minimum annual program demand of 10,000 units, and supports programs with in‑house 3D printing for rapid prototypes, custom mold design and construction, and a full suite of secondary operations including machining, insert and overmolding, pad printing, hot stamping, thermal transfer decorating, assembly, packaging, and distribution. Precision serves OEMs and Fortune 500 customers in medical, aerospace, food and beverage, construction, agriculture, irrigation, and electronics sectors. Its quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015. The company emphasizes a one‑roof model that combines tooling, molding, finishing, and logistics, offers reshoring assistance and mold‑transfer services, and maintains an environmental focus that recycles materials and generates less non‑recyclable waste per week than the average household.
