This year, Venture Plastics, Inc. proudly celebrates 55 years of delivering high-quality injection-molded parts to a wide array of industries. Our success story has been shaped not only by the trust and collaboration of our customers and suppliers, but also by the unwavering commitment, dedication, and teamwork of our employees for over half a century.


Our story began in the late 1950s when Ken Groff, our founder and CEO, first entered the rubber and plastics industry as part of the estimating department at Geauga Industries. With a vision for something greater, he established Venture Plastics, Inc. in 1969 in Warren, Ohio. One of the company's first milestones was producing the Franzus Clothes steamer, which laid the foundation for the company's future growth and potential.

By 1973, the company relocated to Newton Falls, Ohio, where it continues to thrive today. Over the years, the facility has evolved, with the addition of new office, warehouse, and lobby spaces in 1986, followed by further expansions of warehouse and shipping capacity between 1995 and 1997.

In 2006, Venture Plastics extended its reach by opening Southwest Venture Plastics in El Paso, Texas. This 61,000-square-foot facility complemented the Newton Falls operations, offering injection molding machines ranging from 55 to 1450 tons and enabling it to serve an even broader customer base with diverse needs.

Ken Groff's guiding philosophy—"Remember to keep HIPP!" (Honesty, Integrity, Principle, and Pride)—remains at the heart of our company's culture. These values have been the cornerstone of our organization, ensuring not only the quality of our work but also the trust and loyalty of those we serve.

As we mark this significant milestone, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our customers, suppliers, and employees. Your support and collaboration have been essential to our success, and we look forward to continuing this partnership for years to come. Thank you all for being part of our journey and helping us build a legacy of excellence!

Venture Plastics serves a wide range of markets from both facilities, including transportation, agriculture, appliances, consumer goods, power backup, fuel delivery, telecommunications, rail, food preparation, point-of-purchase, and medical sectors. The company, a leader in custom injection molding services, has maintained its reputation for excellence and innovation since 1969.



With 82,000 square feet of space in Newton Falls, Ohio—including 57,000 square feet dedicated to molding, engineering, and sales operations, and 25,000 square feet for warehousing—and 60,000 square feet in El Paso, Texas for molding and warehousing, Venture Plastics is well-equipped to meet increasing customer demands.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
