You may be wondering how a plastic injection molder has survived in West Michigan, given the rush to outsource this function to other countries.  And if all we did was molding, you would be right…we would have gone the way of the dinosaur!

But we view the actual injection molding as just one part of a much bigger role.  We focus on helping you differentiate your products.  That means working with you on materials and design; evaluating prototypes to ensure the most cost-effective and reliable manufacturing; and helping you design and build components that will function as intended throughout their lifecycle.  This kind of intense customer partnership is part of our corporate DNA.

Anderson Technologies has been part of the Midwest manufacturing landscape since 1946.  The company was originally founded in Chicago by Ernie Anderson.  Upon Ernie’s death in 1950, Aunt Leona asked her nephew George Anderson to take over the fledgling business.  The company flourished, becoming one of the premiere mold-making facilities in the United States in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

George expanded the business in 1964 by opening a Holland moldmaking plant that would support the needs of the Chicago facility.  He gradually added molding capabilities to this location, enabling it to operate as a stand-alone business.

In August of 1990, George Anderson sold the Holland plant to his son Glenn, who is the current owner and president of the company.  Glenn relocated the company to Grand Haven in 2000, and changed the name to Anderson Technologies.

Both Glenn and Anderson Technologies are deeply committed to the community, and to the idea that West Michigan can still provide leading-edge, cost-effective manufacturing solutions.  The company has received several awards from the Economic Development Council, citing its employment record and continued growth.
