Why This Acquisition Matters
This acquisition represents a significant step in Plastifab’s ongoing strategy to expand its footprint in the plastics industry.

- Expanding our product offerings to serve a broader market.
- Enhancing our capabilities in plastic extrusion and pole line protection solutions.
- Strengthening our supply chain by integrating production into our Montreal facility.
The R&M Pole Line product name will continue under Plastifab, ensuring a seamless transition for customers who have relied on these products for decades.
Welcoming Dan Ritchie to the Plastifab Team
As part of the transition, Dan Ritchie, former President of R&M Plastics, has joined Plastifab in a position of R&M Pole Line Product Sales. Dan’s industry expertise and deep knowledge of the product line will help ensure a smooth transition for customers and continued growth for the brand.
“We are thrilled that Plastifab will be servicing our Pole Line customers moving forward,” said Dan Ritchie. “This transition ensures continuity for the business my family has built over decades while opening new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
Commitment to Excellence and Innovation
Plastifab’s CEO, Ryan Antoniadis, emphasized how this acquisition aligns with the company’s broader strategy:
“This acquisition marks a significant step forward for Plastifab as we continue to expand our presence in North America. R&M’s Pole Line Protective Guard business has a long-standing history of delivering high-quality plastic extrusion products to a loyal customer base. We are excited to integrate its capabilities into our operations, enhancing our ability to serve customers with an expanded product line, improved capabilities, and greater innovation.”
Plastifab remains committed to delivering the highest quality plastics solutions and ensuring a smooth transition for all existing R&M customers.
