Plastics & Metals Enterprises, a Chula Vista-based provider of plastic and metal sheets, tubes and rods that does business as Cal Plastics and Metals Inc., has been acquired by a large competitor based in Orchard Park, NY.
Buyer Curbell Plastics Inc. said the purchase will shorten lead times for its growing customers based on the West Coast customers. It added that Cal Plastics’ customers will not experience interruption in their service or in the personnel serving them.
“By expanding in Southern California we improve our ability to provide customized solutions for our customers and increase our distribution activities into key markets such as aerospace, lighting, medical and retail display,” Curbell President Gerry Helbig said in a Dec. 13 news release.
Cal Plastics has been in business since 1997. It will continue to operate as a division of Curbell, according to the release.
Curbell Plastics, a subsidiary of Curbell Inc., is a privately held company started 74 years ago. It supplies plastics in various forms for thousands of commercial businesses, including Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
