The Graduate - 1967

Like those enduring words born of the baby-boomer generational cult film, The Graduate, it has been over four decades since Warringah Plastics opened its doors to service the growing needs of the plastics revolution.

From those humble beginnings in 1970, developing and manufacturing polymer bearing rods and tubes, Warringah Plastics’ has grown its knowledge base and developed experience within the plastics industry to become present day leaders as sheet plastic formers, trimmers and fabricators. 

Warringah Plastics’ emphasis has always been on continual research and development to ensure it maintains competitiveness and keeps abreast of plastics innovation.

The common goal of all staff at Warringah Plastics’ is to provide the best manufacturing solutions to industry in Australia.

Most importantly, a dedicated team comprising of experienced long term staff interfaced with current-generation Design Graduates is the fundamental reason for Warringah Plastics’ current and future success as it enters its fifth decade in the Australian plastics manufacturing industry.
