Marchel Industries: The Latest Member of The Plastifam

Wednesday, March 15th, 2023

As part of our ongoing journey towards becoming a long-term partner for our clients, Plastifab is thrilled to welcome Marchel Industries into our family of companies in a move that expands our portfolio of services to include injection molding. This strategic acquisition is a significant investment in Plastifab’s US footprint and underscores our commitment to serving clients throughout North America

Located in South Carolina, Marchel’s 36,000 square foot climate controlled facility is a full service injection molding facility equipped with state-of-the art molding machines ranging from 28 to 400 tonnes with an onsite tool shop.  

Marchel’s capabilities include precision machining, electrical discharge machining, plastic design, custom molding, prototyping, parts assembly, testing, and dimensional analysis. The facility is committed to excellent customer service and quality (ISO 9001-2015), and servicing a broad base of customers including OEM, medical, government, automotive and industrial companies, among others.

Plastifab and Marchel will mutually benefit from shared services, operational best-practices, geographic growth and the ability to provide both companies’ customer sets with a wider range of capabilities and services. And with injection molding added to our capabilities, we can now offer even more comprehensive solutions to meet the needs of our clients. Plastifab and Regimen will oversee Marchel Industries, while General Manager Matt Pitts will continue with Marchel as a partner, leading the day-to-day operations with strategic direction.

As Pitts said of the recent acquisition, “On behalf of our team at Marchel, we are pleased to announce that Marchel Industries has joined forces with the outstanding group at Plastifab. Plastifab brings to the table tremendous capabilities, giving Marchel the ability to scale alongside Plastifab. When deciding on a new partner, finding the right fit was paramount. Plastifab’s commitment to its customers, growth and overall values made them the perfect partner for us. We are excited about Marchel’s next phase of growth and know that Plastifab will preserve the company our family has built. As partners, we’re well positioned to grow together for generations to come.”

Ryan Antoniadis, President & CEO at Plastifab, commented, “The addition of Marchel to the Plastifab family represents an exciting step forward. Our goal is to be a true partner to our customers by creating custom solutions with a team of knowledgeable and dedicated experts. Marchel’s capabilities allow us to continue our mission and strengthen our value to our customers. We are grateful to Gene Pitts and his family for trusting Plastifab with the legacy of Marchel and extend a warm welcome to Matt Pitts, as our partner in growth.”

As we continue to grow and expand our capabilities, we remain committed to providing the highest quality products and services. The acquisition of Marchel Industries is just the latest step in our journey towards becoming a trusted, long-term plastics partner for companies across a wide range of industries.
