It All Starts With the Part
At Husky®, we are committed to our customers’ long-
term success. With more than 50 years of experience in the
plastics industry, we can support the development of new
ideas from part concept through to production—offering
innovative products and services at each step.
Our early years as a moldmaker have allowed us to
develop a unique approach in solving customer
problems—that starts with their part. We work to gain
a detailed understanding of business and project require-
ments at the tooling level so we know what is required
to help customers successfully bring products to market
faster and at a lower cost. With their product launch needs
in mind, we offer a manufacturing solution that includes
the right combination of tooling, systems and services—
fully optimized for their application. With the industry’s
largest Service and Sales network, we are able to stand
behind our products with responsive, local support.
When customers bring us their project ideas—big or
small—we will show them how we can help make their
bold goals a reality.
