About QC Plastics
QC Plastics is based in Independence, Iowa. The company was founded in 1972 by brothers Arnold and Lawrence Johnson as Quality Craft Corp, initially operating from their family garage. The business outgrew three facilities before moving to its current location in 2002. In 2016, David and Samantha Hardy acquired the company and renamed it QC Plastics to better reflect its focus on custom plastic forming and machining. The shop specializes in vacuum thermoforming, CNC milling, CNC lathe turning, CNC router trimming, heat bending, drape forming, and finishing and assembly. These processes allow the company to produce custom plastic parts with consistent material thickness and low internal stress. The operation is geared toward small to medium production runs, and the team also handles secondary operations such as bonding, hardware installation, and trimming. QC Plastics serves a broad range of industries, including automotive (cars, motorcycles, heavy equipment, trailers), bioscience, retail, outdoor and recreation (turf, golf, shooting range equipment), food processing, water and wastewater, industrial equipment, OEMs, agriculture, signs and visual, building and construction, veterinary supplies, dunnage and material handling, manufacturing automation, and funeral equipment. Customers range from household-name corporations to small local factories. The company emphasizes a “complete” approach, positioning itself as a partner from concept to completion, with custom solutions, quick response times, and a commitment to delivering quality parts on time and on budget. It also highlights its U.S.-based manufacturing and a sales team led by Terri Husky, whose hands‑on shop experience helps her understand customer projects firsthand.
