About Progressive Plastics Inc

Progressive Plastics, Inc. operates from Clover, South Carolina, a location centrally positioned between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Greenville, South Carolina with easy access to major highways and an international airport. The company was founded in 1986 by Keith Brackett, who identified a market need for a short-run molder capable of processing small quantities for both individuals and businesses. That focus later expanded to include insert molding, a process Brackett recognized as too labor-intensive for larger molders. Today, Progressive Plastics functions as a small custom injection molder of thermoplastic products. Its core capability is plastic injection molding, including insert molding that encapsulates metal or other non-plastic inserts in a single operation. The company also provides development design and consultation services to guide customers through the product creation process. Its product line centers on agricultural packaging, notably a range of fruit baskets — round half-gallon, half-bushel, peck, and rectangular half-gallon containers — designed to protect produce such as peaches, berries, apples, and tomatoes from field to packing shed. The primary market served is agriculture, where growers, distributors, and packers rely on the company's durable thermoplastic containers. Because the operation is geared toward short runs, it also accommodates individual entrepreneurs and small businesses needing limited quantities. The company states its goal is total customer satisfaction through defect-free processes and continuous improvement, with the owner directly accessible for questions and order assistance. Brackett started the business after seeing that larger molders avoided short-run and labor-intensive insert molding work. That founding principle remains: the firm positions itself on personable, knowledgeable service, on-time delivery, and a willingness to handle orders that larger competitors decline.
