Gus King and Dennis Hicks Founded ColorMasters in March of 1986. The Original Company and Its Assets Consisted of One Bag Machine to Make bags for the Nearby Chicken Facilities, a 10,000 Sqft Facility, and Two employees (Gus and Dennis). MasterExtrusion was established as a sister company to ColorMasters and enabled our vertical integration.
Master Extrusion began with two state-of-the-art W&H 3-layer blown film lines. Both lines were optimized for collation shrink, frozen food film, and sealant web applications. Since 2013, we have consistently added two new W&H lines year after year. Our new extrusion line acquisitions include several high output units as required to supply ColorMasters’ new wide web presses. The product mix of Master Extrusion is organized In a way to support the core competencies of our target market segments.
MasterExtrusion started their explosive growth in December of 2012. The desire to become Vertically Integrated as a sister company to ColorMasters started with the goal of becoming more efficient and sustainable while providing a better product to our customers. Our goal was to ensure the film quality used on our products for printing and converting was second to none. After our start-up, we quickly realized that blown film had become one of our specialties; we had a great team, and we were making a top quality film! From that point, the rest is history. We have continued our strategic, organic growth year over year since 2012 and have quickly become an industry leader serving some of the largest players in our target markets.
