| Celplast Limited began as a
film trading company in 1976. The two principles are Chuck Larsen,
President and founder, and Bill Hellings, Vice-President, both former
Celanese employees. In the early 80’s they developed a relationship with
a US-based metallized film producer and began distributing these films.
This event spawned an interest in the production of metallized film, and
Celplast Metallized Products was born in 1984, with one metallizing
chamber and slitter/rewinder. Chuck and Bill are still active in the day
to day business operations of Celplast Metallized Products. Since that time, Celplast Metallized Products has grown to include a
team of 50 people with several state of the art metallizing chambers and
slitter/rewinders.
Celplast Metallized Products Limited has a long history of customer
service. Celplast initially grew as the contract metallizer of choice to
some of the major polypropylene film manufacturers in North America,
achieving 7 million pounds of sales in 1994. Our growth over the past
decade has been even more remarkable, as we took this technology base
and expanded it to metallize a variety of films for various markets,
effectively doubling our sales volume.
