In 2023, Tessy Plastics Corp. is celebrating 50 years of successful business.
Tessy was founded by Henry Beck on March 23, 1973 in Elbridge, NY. The company is still owned and operated by the Beck family today. Over 700 employees and five manufacturing facilities later, Roland Beck, (Henry’s son) became the President of Tessy in 2002.
“I still remember the fall of 1972 when I was 9 years old and my dad took me on a short trip to Elbridge to look at a building he wanted to purchase for a new molding business. Little did I know at the time, that this building would ultimately lead to Tessy being one of the most respected injection molding and assembly companies in the world,” said Roland Beck, Tessy Owner & President.
Tessy has grown vastly over the last two decades in partnering with new customers, investing in new buildings, expansions and acquiring additional businesses. Today, the company has over 3 million square feet across ten facilities in Upstate New York, Erie, PA, Meadville, PA, and Shanghai, China.
“Our business has become more than just an injection molding company. We are now a full-service contract manufacturer providing end-to-end solutions for companies we partner with. We are able to help develop the end product with our customers, design the molding and automation systems, internally build those molds and assembly lines, and ultimately operate those lines to the high standards of our global medical and consumer customer base,” said Beck. Tessy has expanded to serve the entire manufacturing lifecycle, embraced cutting-edge technology, and supports the majority of the world’s leading medical, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, and consumer companies.
The business will continue to grow in Upstate New York and play a large role in the local community. “This area will always be home for the Beck family. We enjoy being a part of Upstate New York and are grateful for all of the success Tessy has had. We appreciate all of the support from our team and their families and look forward to continuing this journey,” added Beck.
