PPM was founded in 1968 by Murray Gerber, an MIT graduate engineer. The company initially focused on building plastic molds for prototypes, especially for the aerospace industry. Over time, this evolved into mold building of aluminum and steel molds, both for prototypes and production, and eventually injection molding.
Growth objectives and market needs led to a diversification into a diverse OEM customer base, while these customers’ requirements for tight tolerance parts and differing operating environments led to a proliferation in the use of many engineering resins and the establishment of a separate value added operations department, to finish the injection molded components, whether machining them to required tolerances, installing inserts, ultrasonically welding components, or silkscreening.
