Hibco Plastics, Inc.

Hibco Plastics, Inc. was incorporated in 1959 as three primary investors, C.B. Hughes, J.W. Irvin, and S.A. Bell, saw the future importance of fabricating Dow Brand foam for the floral industry. The initial focus Hibco had on floral markets shifted in 1979 when Dan Pavlansky entered the business and started to concentrate more in the area of cushion packaging. Dan Pavlansky had been the Product Manager with the Dow Chemical Company and understood the technical nature of many complex packaging solutions. The sales volumes doubled in the first year Dan Pavlansky took over the business, and the company was forced to move from a 14,000 sq. ft. building to a facility providing over 120,000 sq. ft of manufacturing space. Having developed a strong management team during the 80Ís and 90Ís, Dan Pavlansky, Chairman of the Board, is now able to operate more from a consulting role. His presence, leadership, and values are all still in existence here at Hibco. Mark, Keith, and Chris Pavlansky, three of DanÍs five sons, continue to manage the family operation. Sales volumes are remaining steady and growing even in the midst of some turbulent economic times. Hibco Plastics is founded on the principles of providing quality service and products while continuing to seek first the Kingdom of God. We continue to keep a focus on several fabricated foam markets including cushion packaging, construction, automotive, medical, and military applications.
