C.R. Plastic Products Inc. recently purchased a new 300,000–square-foot manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in Stratford, Ontario. For the past 21 years, C.R. Plastic Products has been designing and manufacturing premiumquality casual furniture from postconsumer recycled plastic. What started as a small flea-market business has grown into a global enterprise, with product distribution on nearly every continent. Jamie Bailey, founder and president, says, “We are ecstatic that our product quality, customer service, and environmental mission have resonated so strongly with our customers from all over the globe. We are expanding not only our operations, but also our presence as a local employer and partner in our community at large.” C.R. Plastic Products was founded in rural Stratford, where it is currently one of the largest private employers (and the largest furniture producer) in the region. This new facility will offer future employment opportunities to the local Stratford workforce. With the green light for expansion, the future looks bright for C.R. Plastic Products as it continues to focus on developing products— while protecting the planet for generations to come.
