MICRO PLASTIC EXTRUSIONS: A FAMILY AFFAIR!
Here's a timeline of milestones in the development of our company's long-term future.
1968
Construction of the building at 675 Simonds South, Granby, to house Plastalene Inc., founded by Normand Coderre and John Cookes Bonnet. Specializing in plastic sheet extrusion, the company already has six sheet lines.
1977

1987
Construction of a 2ᵉ factory in Cornwall, Ontario for Plastalene, ''Plastalene Ontario Inc.'' with five new plastic sheet extrusion lines.

Plastalene is sold to the Hamelin Group. Mr. John Cookes Bonnet leaves the companies. Mr. Normand Coderre keeps his plastic profile department and translates the English name of “Micro Plastics Canada Limited” for Extrusions de Plastique Micro Inc. in order to respect the francization of names in Quebec.
