This facility has expanded multiple times since, and currently offers a wide variety of capabilities ranging from small parts molding, insert molding and custom molding, painting, to in mold decorating/labeling and lens molding/decorating. In 1999, Phillips Plastics continued its expansion into a new state-of-the-art production facility known as Custom II also located in Phillips, WI on neighboring property. The Custom II plant provides services for medium to high volume injection molded components and assemblies. The two operations, with over 210,000 square feet of space, have 87 injection molding machines currently serving medical, defense, automotive and consumer markets.

The Custom facilities are dedicated to environmental excellence, and have committed to utilizing an Environmental Management System (EMS) certified to ISO 14001 to help sustain their efforts. Phillips Plastics Corporation Custom I & II, incorporates employee education and training as well as customer and supplier outreach on the corporate initiatives towards environmental stewardship and performance as part of their EMS to help meet their goals. Examples of some of their environmental commitments are waste reduction, energy reduction, increased awareness internally and externally and participation in the Green Tier Program.
