What Mid America Plastics does

Mid America Plastics is a custom thermoplastic fabricator headquartered at 9650 Newton Ave S in Bloomington, Minnesota, operating as a brand under the Activar Plastic Products Group, Inc. parent. Founded in 2015 and employing between 11 and 50 people, the company provides precision fabrication services to industrial manufacturers, medical device producers, and laboratory and research customers. Its quality system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 across its multi-site operations.

The company's core technical capability spans thermoplastic fabrication, CNC machining, and laser cutting across an unusually broad materials portfolio. This includes high-performance fluoropolymers (ECTFE, PVDF, PFA, PCTFE, PTFE) and engineering thermoplastics on the plastics side, alongside titanium, Hastelloy, aluminum, steel, and stainless steel on the metals side. The combination of multi-material fluency and certified processes positions the business as a flexible contract manufacturer for customers requiring both prototyping and production runs of chemically resistant or high-purity components.

Revenue is generated through project-based B2B contracts priced via custom quotation. The go-to-market is direct sales with no disclosed channel partners, distributors, or recurring subscription revenue. Customer segments are diversified across three end-markets — industrial manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, and laboratory/research — but no named accounts, revenue splits, or pipeline commentary are publicly available, limiting visibility into top-customer concentration. Operations are concentrated at a single Bloomington facility under the broader Activar corporate umbrella.
