About Us
Our Story
Founded in 1996, Vantage Plastics originated in Standish, MI, initiated by Paul Aultman and a small team. Our modest beginnings encompassed a 45,000-square-foot plastics thermoforming facility with three rotary thermoforming machines, lacking quality certifications and minimal business acquisitions. By 2005, a 22,000-square-foot warehouse was annexed to safeguard customer products pre-shipment. Additionally, a 5,000-square-foot office space was established to accommodate expanded engineering and customer service personnel.
