What Parker Plastics, Inc. does

Parker Plastics, Inc. is a privately-held custom blow molder founded in 1989 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and now headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The company designs and manufactures plastic containers using PET and HDPE blow molding technology, including two-stage reheat and stretch blow molding, single-stage PET molding, extrusion blow molding, and co-extrusion for multi-layered HDPE containers up to 2.5 gallons. Operations span four manufacturing facilities (Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Maryland, Nevada) totaling over 550,000 square feet, 47+ production lines, 24 proprietary PET preform molds, and hundreds of PET blow molds, with a combined daily output exceeding 1.7 million bottles. The company employs 330+ people and runs SQF-certified production at all four plants.

The company serves customers across eleven end-market segments — including honey and agave, dressings and sauces, mustard and condiments, specialty beverage (HPP-compatible), edible oil, liquor and mixers, agricultural chemicals, household chemicals, food service/institutional, pharmaceutical/medical, and home and office delivery (HOD) water — through a portfolio that combines 50+ stock molds with low minimum order quantities (as low as one pallet) and fully customized bottle programs with five-week "art to part" lead times. Specialized capabilities include hot fill bottles rated to 200°F, HPP/aseptic-compatible bottles using DBJ and 2-lead neck finishes, and in-house decoration services (pressure sensitive labeling, sleeve labeling, heat transfer).

Parker Plastics operates a direct enterprise field sales model through four regional sales managers (Eastern, South Central, Midwest, Western) plus a Director of Business Development, with no disclosed use of distributors or third-party resellers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; contracts reference resin, corrugate, and color input cost pass-throughs, with FOB Plant of Origin shipping terms. The company is founder-controlled (Jim Parker, Owner and President), has no disclosed outside investors or parent company, and is actively hiring across all plant locations.
