At Vantage Plastics, they’re forming solutions, a sustainable future, and better lives. Those are the guiding pillars that George and Paul Aultman live by as their successful and growing company in Standish makes everything from car parts to kids’ sleds. What started as a six-person company 27 years ago has now grown to a roughly 415-person operation, thanks mainly to an innovative spirit. From the moment their first customer, General Motors, ordered a part they didn’t have the proper machine to make, this team has been innovating, retrofitting, and building to push themselves forward. Now, they are focusing on the purposeful reuse of materials, which will allow the company to continue to grow in sustainable and efficient ways. puremi.ch/486fDgQ
