Tommy Wallace, President and Owner of Diversified Plastics, Inc. (DPI), a leading international rotational molder based out of Latta, SC, received the Industrialist of the Year Award by the Dillon Herald, a local SC newspaper. Since 1976, Diversified Plastics has been the leading rotational molding manufacturer of plastic material handling carts and plastic storage containers for the industrial, textile, hospitality, laundry, agricultural, and marine industries. In addition, they produce waste and recycling containers for restaurants, sports venues, stadiums, apartment/condominium complexes, and corporate offices.
DPI’s diverse product lines also include bulk material handling carts, plastic utility carts, laundry carts, bulk containers, tote boxes, round containers, spring platform trucks, elevated carts, easy access carts, tilt trucks, and more. “We are happy and blessed to be here for 44 years,” stated Tommy Wallace. “The key to our success has been establishing a good leadership team and experienced employees.”
Wallace also notes how well Dillon County has treated Diversified Plastics, Inc. over the years. With the county support, they have been able to grow the business to a staggering 200,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse space that allows their products to sell throughout the United States and overseas.
With the assistance of local banks, they have been able to continue to grow their success by reinvesting and keeping equipment up to date which allows for high-quality product output. In addition to the Latta location, they also have recently added a location in Social Circle, Georgia.
