Kim Thiara did not originally seek a career in manufacturing, she said, let alone plastics.

“My father asked for some help with his administrative tasks as his business was starting to grow and he alone could not handle all facets of the business. The business was operating in his basement at the time,” she said. “I was at home being a homemaker with my four children, so [I] agreed to work one day a week for a couple of hours, e.g., invoicing and accounts receivable.”Fast forward 27-plus years, and I am still here. Interior design was where I thought I would end up, but it turned out I had a passion for what we were doing as a company for our customers, and this is why I have stayed,” Thiara added.
