“Plasticap is a trusted supply chain partner to major brands and distributors across several industries,” said John Simmonds. “With efficiencies and advancements in production and the technological ability to offer customers logo branding, security and tamper proof closures, Plasticap has great potential for growth with new and existing customers in the bio-medical, pharmaceutical, food, household and personal care industries.”

“A. C. Simmonds will enable us to take full advantage of the growth opportunities we see in existing and new markets,” said Peter Gossmann, President of Plasticap. “Plasticap offers a number of advantages to clients including high quality, service, performance and innovation.”

Plasticap has been in operation for more than 50 years, having started in 1963 operating out of a single facility in Richmond Hill. In 1968, Plasticap was acquired by Anchor Cap & Closure, a subsidiary of the Anchor-Hocking Corp. Plasticap subsequently became a privately owned enterprise. Plasticap has expanded its product line from only aerosol closures to liquor closures and lined plastic closures for the food and household product industries. Today Plasticap is a manufacturer of specialty caps and closures for a number of vertical markets, including Food, Dairy, Beverages, Condiments, Industrial, Petro-Chemical, Medical and Pharmaceutical and a critical supply chain partner to many corporations.

Plasticap is expanding its offerings in personal care products to include new lines in flip top closures. Plasticap has also developed a new quick load tamper evident valve seal closure to increase filling line speeds by up to 50%. In addition, recent advancements in induction seal CT closures have made it possible to offer attractive logo branding as well as counterfeit security features.
