This is our 2010 On-Line Access to the award winning Ridout Plastics Company
When Others Can't.... We Can!
Since 1914 Ridout Plastics has served the world with plastics materials and manufacturing services. The Greater San Diego Chamber of Commerce awarded Ridout Plastics "Small Business of the Month" in February, 1992. The U.S. Small Business Administration awarded the company San Diego's 1995 Family-Owned Small Business of the Year in May 1995. Ridout Plastics was a finalist in Bank of America's Enterprise Awards in August, 1995. We are San Diego's plastics industry leaders in quality, service, employment, and sales. Locally owned and operated unlike many nationwide plastic companies with ownership outside the USA. Ridout Plastics' core competency is the ability to innovatively solve customer problems using plastics - hence our mission statement:
Achieving Innovative Solutions Through People and Plastics.
There's a real 40,000 SF "Brick & Mortar" business here supporting our web presence - and we've been selling plastics and accessories on the internet since 1995! But...Plastics in 1914? Yes! Originally known as the Rench Co., we sold plastic numbers and letters from cellulose back then. My grandfather purchased items from Rench back in the 1920's (he came to San Diego in 1910). Later, the Ridout family purchased and renamed the company in the 1950's. Our family purchased the company in 1967 and kept the name - as everyone knew: For Plastics, go to Ridout Plastics! We're family owned for over 40 years and 3 generations.
ePlastics is a one-of-a-kind Plastic Supply store for all sizes of businesses: US Government to Fortune 100 companies, to the Do-It-Yourself hobbyist, homeowner, contractor or international business customer. We provide superior products and services to our customers. This web site is a wonderful introduction to just a few of the capabilities and products we have to offer you. No project is too big or small. We have built dock bumpers for the aircraft carriers here in our San Diego harbor, and have embedded small fragments from the Berlin Wall demolition in acrylic resin. We work with museums around the country building custom vitrines and picture frames. Major banks and retailers have display systems we've designed built. We have plastic on the moon, in space, in watercraft, and.. well, you get the picture.
We are a complete solutions provider for plastics. Our expertise allows us to solve problems for industry and individuals. We have a deep base of suppliers, a large inventory in San Diego, and a production center with CNC Sawing, Drilling and Routing of large volume orders. We're the "Go To" company that lives by the motto "When Others Can't - We Can!"
This site is dedicated to serving customers who need quick service and fulfillment of orders for home, office, university, research lab or corporate plant. We make many of the products sold on the site right here in San Diego.
Our goal is to make it easy to do business together regardless of your location. We offer a sample program for you to receive large pieces of the type of plastic you are looking for. You can evaluate a 4"x6" piece of that plastic in a variety of thicknesses and colors or styles. You can make the right decision at your location without having to waste time or gasoline searching for the solution that Ridout Plastics most likely already has for you! Please take the time to review our site and if there is anything you don't see or need more information on, please call or email us.

All materials can be cut and shaped to the customer's exact requirements. Products are exported to Baja California, Brazil, France, Canada, Japan, Australia, Chile and other countries. Engineering plastics supplied by us were on-board the lunar landing program (and remain on the moon).
2) The Showroom Store, a one-of-a-kind store for the hobbyist, homeowner, and small business owner. The Showroom Store is open 8am-5pm, 5 days a week, for our customer's convenience. All products seen in our catalog are available in our San Diego Showroom!

For a different look at the company, you can check out my blog. There are so many things happening every day that I started writing about them as they happen (you blink and there's a new job on the floor, you blink again, and it's on a truck getting shipped out) - I hope you find the Plastic Genius Blog interesting AND educational.
