Our logistics department has accumulated an extensive list of trucking companies. We continually contact them for their best rates for shipping and freight. We use that information to provide our customers with the best possible pricing when they have a shipment that has to go. TPG has also developed a proprietary program that also meticulously tracks results – we want to know who is offering the best combination of on-time delivery, price and efficiency. This improves both our bottom line and that of our customers.

At Plastics Group of America, we have been striving to be more environmentally friendly by increasing our production of PCR plastic content. We can now custom compound product with a specific post-consumer content, and, we can make it to specs that are ISO-certified. We are one of the few manufacturers who offers both in-house compounding and testing, and our testing facility is ISO 17025 certified. And our compounding expertise enables us to utilize a number of PC items in our compounding, including soda bottle caps, agricultural film, flower pots and trays, and stretch wrap. TPG is simply trying to its part to make sure that our kids have a planet to live on. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our PCR production capabilities or if you have an application that would require this kind of applied expertise.
