Springfield Plastics, Inc

Springfield Plastics, Inc. was started in 1978 by a group of local investors headed by Roy Baker, Wayne Baker and Glen Brandt. This group purchased the assets of a previous company with the same name from the bankruptcy court.

Wayne Baker, who was a drainage contractor at the time, was place in charge of day-to-day operations. Wayne's background from agricultural drainage insisted that the company produce products that would stand up to the demanding farm drainage market. His experience from the early days of plastic drainage pipe also reinforced that the products be consistent from day to day. Roy, who had extensive investment experience, and Glen, who was the President of Brandt Fertilizer & Chemical, also assisted in the management of the new company. Steve Baker, Wayne's son and a CPA, was brought in to handle the finances for the company.

Wayne Baker retired in 1997 and Steve Baker took over the operations. The company has grown to become a leading Midwest manufacturer of corrugated plastic drainage pipe. In 2000, the company became the only U.S. manufacturer certified as using only 100% virgin material. Springfield Plastics, Inc. is proud to offer plastic pipe solutions for the agricultural, residential, commercial and highway markets.

Springfield Plastics, Inc. believes the goal of improving water quality and crop production can be achieved with good drainage practices, and continues to work on drainage technologies to further improve our environment.
