MOLDED FIBER GLASS COMPANIES - Key Persons
Robert S. Morrison (1909-2002) and a handful of dedicated men and women collaborated in 1948 to mass-produce the first commercial products using polyester resins and fiber glass reinforcements. In 1953 a watershed event occurred when MFG was selected to produce all fiberglass body parts for the new Chevrolet Corvette. This success led to a sequence of other "firsts" - fiberglass boats, high volume truck and tractor parts, bakery trays, concrete forms and satellite dishes to name a few. More than 70 years later, the enduring pioneer spirit, commitment to customer satisfaction and integrity in business that Morrison instilled lives on as a keystone of MFG's corporate mission. The history of MFG's achievements in compression molding is outlined in this brochure (pdf).
