GROWING ON LONG ISLAND
Autronic Plastics, Inc. has been building tools and manufacturing parts in New York since 1953, perceptive of customer needs to keep jobs close at hand.
After Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, API had exceeded its capacity. The decision had to be made whether to continue to grow operations in API South or to find one larger facility that could incorporate all of API’s growing departments. Being Long Island natives themselves, API’s executives decided to grow operations here in New York.
In the summer of 2014, API officially opened the doors to its 100,000 square foot facility in Central Islip, adding new jobs to Suffolk County and raising the bar for injection molders with capabilities that set us apart from the competition. API’s new corporate headquarters is ISO 9001:2015 UL certified and is conveniently located only 6 miles from Long Island MacArthur airport.
It provides simple communication, transportation, and logistics to allow customers to observe and partake in processes to end up with a secure and cost effective result. We welcome our customers to come visit us!
