Bill
and Beverly Benjamin founded the Benjamin Mfg. Co. in California
in 1967 after relocating from Ohio. They started out making products
from cut and molded paper for the plumbing industry but as Bill
learned more about plastics and the new resins being developed,
he realized this would be the material of the future. He got involved
in the "plastics" industry working with vendors, extruders, pattern
and mold makers to find the right materials and manufacturing techniques
for each product he hoped to improve on as well as for each new
product he hoped to create.

Over the
years, the Benjamin Mfg. Co. has been awarded numerous product and
design patents both in and out of the plumbing industry and building
trades. Today one of the most widely used and recognized products
from the Benjamin Mfg. Co. is the foam-pad plastic tub protector
that began as a simple cut and molded paper tub liner Bill and Beverly
were making in 1967.

A privately
held company, the Benjamin Mfg. Co. has grown from its modest beginnings
to a national company with sales in the millions and about 50 employees
working within the company's two locations, and more than 100 independent
sales representative associates working around the country.

|
While
still active in the company, Bill and Beverly have been joined by
a number of very capable individuals who handle the day to day operations
and provide the company with a wealth of diverse knowledge and experience
to draw upon.
